Which two lines in this excerpt from "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe use allusion? "Be that word our sign of parting, bird or fie

nd!” I shrieked upstarting— "Get thee back into the tempest and the Night's Plutonian shore! Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken! Leave my loneliness unbroken! quit the bust above my door! Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!" Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore." And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door; And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming, And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor: And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor Shall be lifted—nevermore!

Answer:

As literary devices, "Allusions" are subtle hints to something, inviting the audience to make connections without direct references, especially in unrelated comments.

In this passage, the two lines allude to "the afterlife" & wisdom from ancient mythology:

"Get thee back into the tempest and the Night's Plutonian shore! and "On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door"

Pluto was the deity of the underworld in Roman myth and Pallas (Athena) is the Greek goddess of wisdom, represented by the bust where The Raven rests.

ddd [6233]
From Charles's perspective, he experiences apprehension about his new school throughout the narrative. Conversely, his parents aspire for him to be in a higher-class setting, aiming to elevate their social standing. It appears that there is a noticeable disconnect and lack of understanding between Charles and his parents, resulting in their interpretation of the same situation from entirely opposing viewpoints.

I am confident that obnoxious is the most fitting description for the entire phrase, but you might want to verify in a dictionary. I hope this assists you with your homework.</span></span>

Lady bird [6351]

Answer:

Explanation:

I departed from my house at 7 am, aiming to reach the train station. I was anxious about being tardy on my first workday. Fortunately, I caught a bus to the station right on schedule. After purchasing my ticket, I took a seat, eager for the train to depart. Although it only took moments, my nervousness made it feel like an eternity.

As the train honked loudly, we began to move. I pulled out my phone to text my partner in an attempt to ease my anxiety. He responded by trying to soothe my nerves. I was bewildered by my restlessness; the adrenaline rush was overwhelming. I asked if I could video call him, and he agreed. If my memory serves correctly, he was in the midst of giving me compliments when I heard a startling noise. Suddenly, my phone tumbled to the floor.

There was a cacophony of screams around me, and my head felt heavy; I struggled to concentrate while I found myself lying in an odd position. Peering out the window, I saw only the sky. It didn't click right away, but once I gazed outside amidst the turmoil inside the cabin, it all fell into place.

The train had indeed derailed!
