Q1 : why does poe use chronological events in "the black cat" to organize details of the crime the narrator committed? it allows the reader to piece together, in reverse order, why the narrator’s wife was killed. 1: it allows the reader to see the chain of events that led to the crime as well as the steady progression of the narrator’s insanity. readers get an inside perspective on why the black cat tormented the pet dog. readers gain insight into the wife’s belief that she is possessed by a demon. question 2: unsaved how does the narrative point of view affect the story “the black cat”? it gives readers insight into the tortuous thoughts and feelings of the man condemned to die. it provides readers with an understanding of what is really happening in the events of the story. it allows the narrator to give information about the feelings of the man as well as his wife’s feelings. it allows the narrator to give information about the feelings of the cat and the dog.

Question 1: The correct answer to question 1 is “It allows the reader to see the chain of events that led to the crime as well as the steady progression of the narrator’s insanity.”

In story “The Black Cat”, Poe starts telling the story in a chronological order, mentioning first that the narrator is a normal person and then he starts changing his personality little by little, affecting his daily life and his relationship with his wife. And then it also affected his relationship with the black cat. By describing the events chronologically, the reader can see the narrator's gradual insanity.

Question 2: Poe chooses the first person point of view in the story which allows the reader to know the feelings and emotions of the narrator only and not of the rest of the characters. This use of point of view provides the reader a subjective side of the story since it is told by the narrator's description of the events and does not describe what really happened in the story. In this case the correct answer is “It gives readers insight into the tortuous thoughts and feelings of the man condemned to die.”

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
