Shaking this off with a gasp and a struggle, I uplifted myself upon the pillows, and, peering earnestly within the intense darkness of the chamber, hearkened -- I know not why, except that an instinctive spirit prompted me -- to certain low and indefinite sounds which came, through the pauses of the storm, at long intervals, I knew not whence. Overpowered by an intense sentiment of horror, unaccountable yet unendurable, I threw on my clothes with haste.Which word from this excerpt could be used to argue that the narrator is unreliable?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

The word is "overpowered".

Explanation:

The untrustworthy narrator is the one who has his credibility compromised, either by lying or by presenting questionable sanity. The narrator of the excerpt shown in the question above is clearly questionable in sanity, because the word "Overpowered" shows how the narrator is unbalanced because of a sense of horror. Because of this imbalance, we cannot fully trust what the narrator says, so he is an unreliable narrator.

Answer 2
Answer: Unaccountable would render the author

Explanation:

Keeping my mind on my writing is not easy when I stay at my grandmother's ocean-side cottage. Just about the time that I am going along pretty well, I glance out the window and see two huge bald eagles swooping and tumbling in a spectacular aerial display. Naturally, I have to leave my desk and rush to the doorway to watch the performance as long as it lasts. Then, as if a conspiracy were trying to keep me from working, two otters poke their shiny heads out of the water and hang there motionless. They watch to see what I am doing. As soon as I return to my desk, seagulls wheel into my window view and screech as they search for scraps of food. Within minutes, this confusion of sounds stirs my aging St. Bernard out of a deep sleep, and he hauls his massive, lumbering body over to be petted. Mickey, my cat, can't stand to see any partiality, so he is soon pacing back and forth across my ankles. As I wiggle my bare toes to tease Mickey, I realize that my legs have become stiff. I remember that I have not had my daily ride. So, I slip on my sandals, step out the door, spring onto my bike, and pedal off down the beach. Meanwhile, the composition in my typewriter sits and grows colder.What is the thesis?

Answers

Answer:

“Keeping my mind on my writing is not easy when I stay at my grandmother's ocean-side cottage”

Explanation:

A thesis statement is usually one or two sentences stated in a piece of writing, usually at the beginning, that precisely and briefly reflects its main idea and tells readers what the writing is about. The thesis of the story is “Keeping my mind on my writing is not easy when I stay at my grandmother's ocean-side cottage” because it provides a summary of what the story is about: The narrator getting distracted by every single thing that happens around them when they are in their grandmother's home, which keeps them from focusing on their writing.

The thesis is that the main character cannot focus on doing her writing she is supposed to be writing.
