The language he uses and the way they write it, like does it give you suspense or is it more informative
The correct answer among all the other choices is A. He decided on the effect of the poem. This is what Poe achieve when he wrote this stanza according to "The Philosophy of Composition." Thank you for posting your question. I hope that this answer helped you. Let me know if you need more help.
The skepticism is characterized by an atittude of doubting, questioning and/or not believing something or someone.
As we can see in “Of Cannibals”, Montaigned used skepticism to justify his arguments on his opinion about clever people. For instance:
1) “They never show you things as they are” – The author also said that clever people “cannot help altering history a little”, and then he says that they never show things as they really are; meaning that since he believes that clever people tend to change facts and information, the consequence of it is that their speech isn’t 100% honest. Therefore, he is skeptical when it comes to the true nature of those facts.
2) (...) And to give credence to their judgement and attract you to it, they are prone to add something to the matter, to strecht it out or amplify it” – Now the author claims that clever people try to convince others by adding details or facts to what actually happened. He believes that once the fact is amplified, it gets more attention and credit. In this case, he is being skeptical in regards to judgements and opinions, suggesting that clever people aren’t really honest in their judgements as they want others to “buy their ideas” and because of it they will tell things in a way that will persuade people to do what they want and believe what they say.
I believe the correct answer is: It implies that in order to
reach salvation, one need to have a helper, like Hopeful.
The archetype of a journey across
water, which represents hero's purification, has the same effect of
purification for Christian's crossing of the river in “Pilgrim's Progress” (1678), a Christian allegory
written by John Bunyan, but in religious context:
“Christian doubts whether he can
make it across, for the memory of his past sins weights on him one again, but
Hopeful reminds him that Christ’s love would take away those sins.”
This allegory implies that in order to reach salvation, one
need to have Hope. The Hope is one of three pillars of Christianity, alongside
Love and Faith. In the final part, it’s implied that only true hope and belief
can preserve one on his journey to Heaven, but the Vain Hope cannot:
“Ignorance has crossed the river on a ferry called Vain Hope,
and yet he will not be admitted to the Celestial City, because he doesn’t have
a scroll-ticket.”
