In "The Masque of the Red Death," Edgar Allan Poe personifies the Red Death. Which two excerpts from the story reflect this fact?
( select the correct excerpts)


Excerpt 1
The "Red Death" had long devastated the country. No pestilence had ever been so fatal, or so hideous. Blood was its Avatar and its seal—the redness and the horror of blood.
Excerpt 2
The figure was tall and gaunt, and shrouded from head to foot in the habiliments of the grave. The mask which concealed the visage was made so nearly to resemble the countenance of a stiffened corpse that the closest scrutiny must have had difficulty in detecting the cheat.
Excerpt 3
His vesture was dabbled in blood—and his broad brow, with all the features of the face, was besprinkled with the scarlet horror. And now was acknowledged the presence of the Red Death. He had come like a thief in the night.
Excerpt 4
But in the western or black chamber the effect of the fire-light that streamed upon the dark hangings through the blood-tinted panes, was ghastly in the extreme, and produced so wild a look upon the countenances of those who entered, that there were few of the company bold enough to set foot within its precincts at all.

What are some of the character traits that great leaders have in common? What are some historical or modern figures that you consider to be a great leader?

Answers

Answer:

1. A Positive Attitude

Great leaders know that they won’t have a happy and motivated team unless they themselves exhibit a positive attitude. This can be done by remaining positive when things go wrong and by creating a relaxed and happy atmosphere in the workplace.

Even some simple things like providing snacks or organizing a team Happy Hour can make a world of difference. An added perk is that team members are likely to work harder and do overtime when needed if they’re happy and appreciated.

2. Confidence

All great leaders have to exhibit an air of confidence if they’re going to succeed. Please don’t confuse this with self-satisfaction and arrogance. You want people to look up to you for inspiration, not so they can punch you in the face.

Confidence is important because people will be looking to you on how to behave, particularly if things aren’t going 100% right. If you remain calm and poised, team members are far more likely to as well. As a result, morale and productivity will remain high, and the problem will be solved more quickly.

3. A Sense of Humor

It’s imperative for any kind of leader to have a sense of humor, particularly when things go wrong. And they will.

Your team members are going to be looking to you for how to react in a seemingly dire situation. It would probably be best if you weren’t stringing up a noose for yourself in the corner. You need to be able to laugh things off because if staff morale goes down, so will productivity.

4. Ability to Embrace Failure

No matter how hard you try to avoid it, failures will happen; that’s okay. You just need to know how to deal with them.

Great leaders take them in strides. They remain calm and logically think through the situation and utilize their resources. What they don’t do is fall apart and reveal to their team how worried they are, which leads to negative morale, fear, and binge-drinking under desks.

5. Careful Listening and Feedback

This is far more complex than it actually sounds. Good communication skills are essential for a great leader. You may very well understand the cave of crazy that is your brain, but that doesn’t mean that you can adequately take the ideas out of it and explain them to someone else.

My dear best friend Mike,

I hope you are doing well. I am also doing fine by the grace of God. And I also have some news to share with you.

Recently, I have been appointed the chief of my hometown, which was a huge deal for me. I have numerous plans to make my town a bit more developed and operational in all stages. So, I planned to ensure that the school buildings are reconstructed as the present one is barely standing on its own. Moreover, I wanted to ensure that all children are made to attend the school as I want to make sure that the children stay educated, at least to some extend. And, most of all, I want to promote the various skills of the town folks and ensure that they have some form of income source.

These are some of the plans that I have developed, which I hope, I can do so.

Take care and will see you soon.

Regards,

Jack

Read the excerpt from Flannery O'Connor's The Life You Save May Be Your Own
Mr. Shiftlet was so shocked that for about a hundred feet he drove along slowly with the door stiff open. A
cloud, the exact color of the boy's hat and shaped like a turnip, had descended over the sun, and another,
worse looking, crouched behind the car. Mr. Shiftlet felt that the rottenness of the world was about to engulf
him. He raised his arm and let it fall again to his breast. “Oh Lord!" he prayed. "Break forth and wash the
slime from this earth!
The turnip continued slowly to descend. After a few minutes there was a guffawing peal of thunder from
behind and fantastic raindrops, like tin-can tops, crashed over the rear of Mr. Shiftlet's car.
Which is a metaphor?
O The turnip continued slowly to descend
raindrops, like tin-can drops, crashed over the rear of Mr. Shiflet's car
Mr. Shiftlet felt that the rottenness of the world was about to engulf him
O He raised his arm and let it fall again to his breast

Answers

Answer:

raindrops, like tin-can drops, crashed over the rear of Mr. Shiflet's car

Explanation:

A metaphor is used in comparing two things that are not the same but have some things in common. The comparison is made using words such as 'like' and 'as'. When the drops from heaven were compared to tin-can drops, using the word, 'like', a metaphor was employed. So this comparison between the tin can and raindrops might have been as a result of the sound made by the droplets of rain.
