The play is set only shortly before the Titanic
sank. Why did Priestley choose this moment for
his play to be set?
Answer:
Brainlest, I spent hours writting this
Explanation:
An Inspector Calls was set in 1912 which was near the end of what the Edwardians called a 'Golden Age', where technological advancements were being made and the middle classes were thriving. It is also set at this time as it is important to the plot in several ways: - Eva Smith was involved in the strikes. These strikes really happened in Britain around 1910 where workers went on strike to protest against the low pay they were receiving in the factories. - The class system was very much still in effect. The Birlings are middle class - not born into money, but rich due to their business ventures. Mrs Birling and the Crofts are upeer class - they were born into rich established families. The lower or working class is represented by Eva Smith. You can see this in the play where Sheila exerts her powers in the shop to have Eva sacked, where Gerald sets Daisy up in a flat as his mistress, where Eric uses Eva for sex, and where Mrs Birling refuses to help the pregnant Eva because she has dared to use the name 'Mrs Birling' herself. - The play is actually set in late March or early April 1912 because it mentions the upcoming maiden voyage of the 'unsinkable' Titanic (in Birlings speech in Act One). As you probably know, the Titanic sank on its first voyage. This undermines this idea of technological advancement that the Edwardians were so proud of. It also brought to the forefront the issue of class division as most of the surviving passengers were first class as they were put on the lifeboats before those travelling in steerage - lower class. - Also in Birling's speech he mentions the threat of war, which he disregards as ridiculous. Of course, not long after, in 1914 WW1 began, followed shortly by WW2. These wars completely changed Britain, and of course, Priestley's audience in 1946 when the play was first performed, would be all too aware of this dramatic irony. (Dramatic Irony = where the audience know something that the characters on stage do not) The setting of the play in 1912 should be contrasted with the plays performance in 1946. Would the fate of Eva Smith have been any different if this had all happened in 1946 instead of 1912?
There are several explanations for J.B. Priestley's decision to have his play, An Inspector Calls, take place just before the Titanic went down.
The Titanic stood for power and luxury: The ship was the biggest and most opulent ocean liner ever built, and it served as a representation of the riches and power of the affluent class.
Priestley was able to emphasize the contrast between the lifestyles of the wealthy and the lives of the poor by putting his play on the eve of the Titanic's sinking.
The tragedy of the Titanic: The sinking was a significant news story that significantly influenced public opinion. Priestley was able to appeal to the public's sense of loss and grief by basing his play on the events following the sinking of the Titanic.
The Titanic's demise served as a stark reminder of how short life is: Although it was believed that the ship couldn't sink, an iceberg struck it, and it sank in less than three hours. The sinking served as a lesson that nothing can be predicted in life. Priestley was able to get his audience to reflect on the value of savoring every day by situating his play in the wake of the Titanic's sinking. sinking was felt by people all across the world. On April 15, 1912, the ship sank, claiming the lives of nearly 1,500 people.
Aside from these factors, Priestley might have also done so because Britain was through a period of significant social and political change at the time his play was set, just before the Titanic fell. The nation was dealing with a lot of difficulties as the First World War drew near. Priestley was able to explore the issues of social injustice, class struggle, and the significance of social responsibility by putting his play in this era.

Read this passage from "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe.
Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,
In there stepped a stately Raven of the saintly days of yore.
Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he;
But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door—
Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door—
Perched, and sat, and nothing more.
How does the appearance of the raven propel the narrative action of the story?
The appearance of the raven creates the exposition of the poem, providing readers background about the speaker.
It introduces a new character who befriends the speaker and helps him search for Lenore.
It introduces a new character by which readers are able to gauge the speaker's deteriorating mental state.

Mother Wolf lay with her big grey nose dropped across her four tumbling, squealing cubs, and the moon shone into the mouth of the cave where they all lived. "Augrh!" said Father Wolf, "it is time to hunt again"; and he was going to spring down hill when a little shadow with a bushy tail crossed the threshold and whined: "Good luck go with you, O Chief of the Wolves; and good luck and strong white teeth go with the noble children, that they may never forget the hungry in this world." —“Mowgli’s Brothers,” The Jungle Book, Rudyard Kipling Which purposes does this part of the story serve?

What is a phase I will give brainliest
Answer:
A phase is a short time period in which something begins or continues to change.
Explanation:
A phase can be many things including the following:
Ex: the moon phases are changes in the light directed at our spot on the earth. This light direction changes constantly creating a constant cycle.
Ex: Teenagers have phases of disrespect, however this doesn't have to be the case for long as eventually the teen can truly make their own decisions. This means for a short time they may not be able to control some things but eventually, that control is shifted.
Have a nice day and please give brainleist :)
Phase means each of the aspects of the moon or a planet, according to the amount of its illumination, especially the new moon, the first quarter, the full moon, and the last quarter. Similar words that almost or also means phase are appearance, stage, form, point, and state.
Why is the following statement significant to the plot? "If he could have read his future,
my father might have feared the headlights."
Answer: Well, I'd need to know what the plot was to be sure (plot is a really weird word, I just realized) But from what I can tell, I'd say this statement kind of introduces the plot.
Explanation:
It tells that later in the story, the dad of the narrator is probably going to get hit by a car or maybe a train, but it seems like he's familiar with the headlights, like he wasn't afraid of them because he couldn't read his future, but if he had been able to read his future, he never would have befriended, and later married those headlights, or whatever. But again, I'd kinda need to know the plot.

Match each mode of narration to the excerpt that uses it
Answer:
Passage 1 ⇒ FlashbackPassage 2 ⇒ FlashbackPassage 3 ⇒ FlashforwardExplanation:
Passages 1 and 2 are being spoken of as events that have already occurred and are being recounted. This makes them flashbacks which, as the term implies, refers to a narrative style where the narrator speaks of events in the past.
Passage 3 on the other hand is the opposite. It alludes to events that are yet to come which means that it is using a flashforward narrative style where one talks of events they believe will occur or that they want to occur.
