"The Lottery" is a great example of withholding information. The reader is not exactly clear what is about to happen until the very end. As the story progresses, it becomes clear that something bad will happen, but Jackson controls the flow of information until the very end.

"The Raven" is an example of an unreliable narrator. He is clearly driven mad with grief and imagines a bird speaking to him. For this reason, he is not the most reliable person ever.

A shocking twist could apply to many of these: "The Cask of Amontillado," "The Most Dangerous Game," and "The Lottery" all end with shocking twists. In "The Most Dangerous Game," the reader is not expecting Rainsford to win over Zaroff -- but at the end it becomes clear he was victorious.

Foils also appear in more than one work. In "The Cask of Amontillado," Montresor and Fortunato could be foils for one another. They are opposites and highlight the differences in one another. The same could be said for "The Most Dangerous Game," as Rainsford and Zaroff function as foils.

question:

#1: what is the simile that occurs in lines 43-47 (below)? give exact words for just the simile. #2: explain what frost means by this comparison.

it's when i'm weary of considerations, and life is too much like a pathless wood where your face burns and tickles with the cobwebs broken across it, and one eye is weeping from a twig's having lashed across it open

answer to question #1: the simile that occurs in the text given (lines 43-47) is: ''life is too much like a pathless ''

explanation: a simile is a comparison of one thing with another thing and it is used to make a vivid description. it uses like or as. in the text, we can understand that the person is feeling weary of considerations and because of this, the person compares ''life'' to ''a pathless wood''.

answer to question #2: in this text we can understand that the word frost could mean anger, annoyance and bitterness, due to the fact that the person is stating that he/she is feeling weary of considerations and compares life to a pathless wood.

explanation: the word frost means coldness and something covered by ice crystals but looking at the comparison made in this text, we can understand that the word frost could mean anger, annoyance and bitterness, due to the fact that the person is stating that he/she is feeling weary of considerations therefore he/she compares life to a pathless wood.
