HELP PLEASE I WILL GIVE 100 POINTS Lines 130–141: In this passage, how does the narrator try to convince readers that he is sane and reliable? What effect do the narrator’s explanations have on the reader?
Tell Tale Heart
Answer: Yes, he was stone, stone dead.
I placed my hand upon the heart and held it there many
minutes. There was no pulsation. He was stone dead. His
eye would trouble me no more.
If still you think me mad, you will think so no longer
when I describe the wise precautions I took for the concealment
of the body. The night waned, and I worked hastily
but in silence. First of all I dismembered the corpse. I cut
off the head and the arms and the legs.
I then took up three planks from the flooring of the
chamber and deposited all between the scantlings.
The narrators attempts to convince us of his sanity are highlighted in bold print. Unfortunately, the only thing his explanation succeed in doing is make us certain that he is mad.

Read this excerpt from The Call of the Wild by Jack London.
It was an old song, old as the breed itself—one of the first songs of the younger world in a day when songs were sad. It was invested with the woe of unnumbered generations, this plaint by which Buck was so strangely stirred. When he moaned and sobbed, it was with the pain of living that was of old the pain of his wild fathers, and the fear and mystery of the cold and dark that was to them fear and mystery.
Which type of conflict is shown in the excerpt?
character vs. self
character vs. nature
character vs. character
character vs. society
Answer:
the answer is character vs self

Explanation:
The pecan tree has been an American icon for over two hundred years. Before Europeans came to North America, Native Americans were aware of, and regularly ate, fruit from the pecan tree. Pecan trees are deciduous, losing their leaves in mid-November. Once planted, the pecan tree can live and bear fruit for over three hundred years. They reach enormous heights, the highest of which is a reported 180 ft. As a member of the hickory family of trees, the pecan is not a true nut but a drupe (fruit with a single stone or pit). This makes the fruit similar to that of coffee shrubs, olive trees, and date palms. Thomas Jefferson wrote about and cared for an entire orchard of pecan trees, and he spread his love of the tree and its fruit to other founding fathers, namely George Washington. Pecan trees have only recently been cultivated on a large scale by growers, mainly because the pecan nut is a healthy food that is high in both protein and unsaturated fats. Dieticians say that eating a handful of pecans every day is enough to lower unwanted, bad cholesterol as much as some prescription medications. Not only are pecans good for cholesterol, but they also help to prevent heart disease. Pecans are also regularly used in dishes and desserts, the most famous of which is the very American pecan pie.

Answer:
#1 ) Much as it makes your goals seem further out of reach, failure also distorts your perceptions of your actual abilities by making you feel less up to the task. Once you fail, you are likely to assess your skills, intelligence, and capabilities incorrectly and see them as significantly weaker than they actually are.
Explanation:
#2 ) Writing down your goals means that you can visually see them. This is an important point because when we see something, it affects how we act. You're more likely to be productive if you can see what you have to do, instead of just thinking about it.
