Read this stanza from "="_blank"> the raven." back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning, soon again i heard a tapping something louder than before. "surely," said i, "surely that is something at my window lattice; let me see, then, what thereat is and this mystery explore– let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore; – 'tis the wind and nothing more." this stanza contributes to the suspense of the poem because the reader knows what is making the noise while the speaker does not. the speaker and the reader wait again to find out what is making the noise. the tapping gets louder, which foreshadows that the noise is made by a bird. the wind gets stronger and makes more noise against the speaker’s window.

The suspense device that Edgar Allan Poe uses in this stanza is the uncertainty of the unknown. Suspense is part of this text because both the speaker and the reader wait again to find out what is making the noise. Even though the reader could guess that the noise is made by a bird because of the title of the text, the fact that the speaker has not been able to look at the raven and keeps thinking about his death beloved makes the reader doubt and wait in suspense.

jeez la wheeze! i just checked other people who had the same question as you and both had terrible answers.

i hope i could be a little bit of a though!

hmm, lets see here. okay! so, i don't know the passages exactly since i haven't taken that quiz before, but! i will try to the best i can.

if you need on what igbo means, ill give you a hand.

igbo means a member of a people of southeastern nigeria.

so, they're asking you, "what passage uses igbo words or phrases and in at least 100 words, identify the kinds of context clues the author uses to hint at the words' meaning."

so basically, don't stress or over look this.

look closely at the passages and see if you can spot any of those hints! it doesn't have to be all, remember, its a quiz! no right or wrong answers.

the teachers are always there to and if you are struggling on this topic they will notice it in your score on the quiz and you.

(; i do hope this is useful to you!     < 3
