Read an essay about Edgar Allan Poe's story "The Black Cat" and look for weaknesses in the writing. Describe how the writer should revise the word, and edit the essay for errors in capitalization, spelling, and punctuation.
Explanation:
Phrases to be corrected:
-"The story revolves around the psychology of guilt and a murderer who commits a crime and is able to hide it."
The most concrete idea would be:
The story revolves around the psychology of a murderer who commits a crime and is able to hide it.
-"This article will analyze the issue of violence as it is contained in history".
It could be corrected as the following:
"This article will analyze what influenced the narrator to become a violent man and what the consequences were."
A correct punctuation must be made in the following paragraph:
"These animals included dogs, apes, and even donkeys. The theme of violence is also portrayed when the narrator, realizing his mistake, turns on himself and begins to hurt himself with the knife that he always carried with him."
The first stanza is a continuity of the idea from the previous paragraph, therefore it must be in the previous paragraph with a period followed.
In the following paragraph we can make some editorial corrections as well as punctuation:
"The other theme of the story is that of loyalty. Before the narrator began drinking, he was loyal to his wife and pet cat, Pluto. The theme of loyalty also shows up when the narrator gouges his cat's eye out. Even though his wife saw the kind of cruelty he had subjected the cat to, he was still loyal to him."
We can see in the previous paragraph that the subject of loyalty begins to be discussed, therefore it is not necessary for the writer of the essay to say again "the subject of loyalty is also shown ..." it could be said "We can quote a example when the narrator gouges out his cat's eye ".
The last paragraph, as it is a continuity of the previous paragraph where the writer continues talking about loyalty, must continue that idea in the previous paragraph with a period followed.
Therefore, there should be a single paragraph where it is not necessary to repeat the word "the issue of loyalty" but only leave the word "loyalty" because it is already known that that issue has been discussed. Therefore, they could be as follows:
"The other theme of the story is that of loyalty. Before the narrator began drinking, he was loyal to his wife and pet cat, Pluto. An example we can cite is when the narrator gouges out his cat's eye. Even though his wife saw the kind of cruelty he had subjected the cat to, he was still loyal to him, and loyalty is represented by the cat himself. After the narrator gouged out the cat's eye, the cat was still playing with the narrator after the pierced eye sock had healed. Under normal circumstances, the cat would have fled the house and moved to another house away from the brutality."

(The essay I used is underneath the last question)
1. Where does the writer stray from the topic? What could be done to fix this problem? Explain what you would cut and cross it out in the text of the essay.
I do not believe MuffinAlien strays away from the gothic topic in her essay. I think she did a great job describing Edgar Allen Poe's writing.
2. What misunderstandings or inaccuracies involving Gothic literature or Poe's use of suspense do you see? How would you suggest eliminating this problem? If necessary, cross out some words within the text of the essay.
I do not think there are any misunderstandings or inaccuracies in gothic writing, Poe's story, or the essay that MuffinAlien wrote. However, I will say I do have a small opinion. When writing a gothic based story, or maybe even any story depending on who you ask, people use more complex words, making sentences longer to make it seem like time is moving slowly in the story. I do not think it's effective for what it's for. This may be very biased because it's my personal opinion, but it makes it harder for me to understand the plot of the story. Instead of making the story more interesting because the time is being slowed, it makes it more boring because the time is too slow, and then I'm not interested in reading anymore. This is the reason why I do not enjoy gothic stories.
3. Where does the writer fail to support her points with evidence? What evidence from the story would you suggest adding to support these points?
MuffinAlien doesn't fail to support her points with evidence. Every example MuffinAlien told, she gave a quote to go with it.
4. Read the essay again and edit it for errors. Find and fix as many spelling, capitalization, and punctuation errors as you can. Pay special attention to the errors you learned about in the lesson, but look for other types of errors as well. You may write your edits directly into the essay.
I do not believe that there is anything wrong with the essay MuffinAlien wrote, but i suppose i wouldn't get a good grade if i didn't do much on this essay, so i'll try my best to fix it somehow.
Gothic writing is marked by the suspense of not knowing what will happen next in a story. Great Gothic writers like Edgar Allan Poe move beyond simple techniques to build suspense. His stories are more than the usual "It was a dark and stormy night." In his popular Gothic story, "The Black Cat," you can see Poe effectively using clear narrative choices to build suspense. How he holds back information and controlled pacing develops the narrator's character are both two good examples of how he does it.
Holding back information is the first way Poe builds suspense. As the story begins, the narrator is clearly addressing an audience. He says it in a way as if he knows us already. It says at the very beginning of the story, "But to-morrow I die, and to-day I will empty my soul." This statement is so extreme that anyone who would stumble onto these words would be attached, wondering what's going to happen next. None of the questions flowing through the reader's mind are answered until much later in the story. The now-curious reader must read along.
Along with this, Poe effectively controls the pacing of the story to which also builds suspense. Whenever the action becomes intense and the narrator becomes excited or violent, the sentences are either short or very choppy. For example, “...They left no nook or corner unexplored. At length, for the third or fourth time, they descended into the cellar. I trembled not in a muscle. My heart beats calmly as that of one who slumbers in innocence…” These sentences are short, direct, and choppy, creating more suspension. When Poe wants to create the illusion that time is passing more slowly; he uses longer and more complex sentences that must be read more carefully and slowly. For example, “To those who have cherished an affection for a faithful and wise dog, I need hardly be at the trouble of explaining the nature or the intensity of the satisfaction, therefore available. There is something in the unselfish and self-sacrificing love of a savage, which goes directly to the heart of him who has had frequent occasions to test the small friendship and cobweb loyalty of basic Man.” These sentences are very long, showing that time is passing very slowly.
Poe creates suspense in the story by using more complex tools and narrative choices than just setting the story on a stormy night in a haunted house or middle age castle. He holds back information and carefully controls the pacing. These narrative choices are so effective that we're still reading Poe's stories more than 150 years after they were first published.

essay:the best time of the year
Answer:
A Little Christmas DinnerChristmas is the time of year renowned for bringing families together in a way no other holiday can quite muster up to. Family togetherness feels like a cup of hot chocolate on the first cold night of the year; heart warming. That magical day when relatives flock from all over to be in one house, at one table, and to eat one meal, nothing is more special than a little Christmas dinner.
Christmas is known for coming quicker and quicker each passing year. Many people begin to silently panic as soon as they hear the first Christmas song on the radio. To me it strikes into my head that our yearly family Christmas dinner is ever so close. As a child I enjoyed the Christmas dinner but not for the wholesome heart warming reasons that echo through my words now, but for the greedy natured presents. Admittedly the presents still are a highlight of the Christmas dinner, but after a few seasoned years of learning that Christmas is not about materialistic items I now feel that the Christmas dinner is the best part of this day.
Every year we have the dinner at my grand parent’s quant house in the country. It takes a few hours to get there, but the country ride is more mesmerizing than any movie that I have ever seen. The twists and turns on a single lane road surrounded by tree’s help set the tone for what the day will bring. Every year I am always the first one there to help my grandparents to set up. The first thing I always remember to do is hug each one of them for as long as I can, thankful for another year to take in their open arms.

Answer:
National stereotype in today's era is too crucial to be ignored. In Britain for example, Americans are prejudiced to the extent that even their 'modern way of living' has been misapprehended. It is believed in Britain that Americans are loud, and that they only eat from fast food shops and wear colorful outfits only, which may not be entirely true. The fact that you see something somewhere, just like the British see that kind of 'lifestyle' of Americans in the movies doesn't mean that it is the same thing in reality, i.e, their lifestyle. When you prejudice, you lose your opportunity of truly knowing who the people really are, and you miss your chance of learning new things.

Prompt: In your opinion, are more people today protectors of nature or destroyers of nature? Answer the
question in the form of a full-length essay. Be sure to support your response with evidence from stories,
movies, real world events, or experiences from your life.
Plzzzz helpppp
This essay requires you to express your opinion about the amount of people defending or destroying nature. As opinion is very personal, I can't write the essay for you, but I'll show you how to write it.
First, you should analyze whether you think there are more people protecting nature or more people harming it. You should look for information and facts to help you think about it.
Furthermore, you can reflect on the fact that, despite the fact that there are many NGOs and activists working in favor of the environment, environmental degradation continues to increase. Is it because more people destroy nature or because more powerful people exploit nature unsustainably?
After these reflections you will write your essay as follows:
Introduction: Present what environmental degradation is, the need to protect the environment and your opinion on whether there are more people protecting or degrading the environment. This opinion is your thesis statement and is the position you will take in the text. Remember that the introduction must be done in a small paragraph.Body: Write two paragraphs. In the first paragraph show how environmental degradation has decreased or increased as time progresses. Provide facts and evidence about this. In the second paragraph, show who is more influential in dealing with nature, activists or nature explorers. Provide facts and evidence about this.Conclusion: Reinforce your opinion presented in the thesis statement based on the data you presented in the body of the essay. Also, present your perspectives on this subject and how you expect it to develop in the future.You can find more information on how to write an essay at the link below:
