Read this excerpt from extremely loud and incredibly close. the average person falls asleep in seven minutes, but i couldn’t sleep, not after hours, and it made my boots lighter to be around his things, and to touch stuff that he had touched, and to make the hangers hang a little straighter, even though i knew it didn’t matter. how does the narration affect oskar’s credibility in this excerpt? his insomnia renders him sleep deprived and confused. his efforts to soothe himself render him earnest and genuine. his obsessive straightening makes him seem unstable. his hopeless resignation makes him seem desperate.

Need how does black hawk’s rhetoric in this excerpt advance his viewpoint that his cultural experience has fueled in him great animosity for white men? the white men despise the indians, and drive them from their homes. but the indians are not deceitful. the white men speak bad of the indian, and look at him spitefully. but the indian does not tell lies; indians do not steal. a-he creates an extended metaphor to suggest he has a thorough understanding of white men. b-he uses alliteration to emphasize the morals and values of the indians. c-he employs personification to capture the confusion he feels when dealing with white men. d-he contrasts the image of white men driving indians from their homes with examples of the admirable conduct of indians.
