Why is the resolution important to a short story.

Resolution is important to a short story because short stories have morals behind them. Such as: looks can be deceiving, don’t be greedy, don’t make irrational things seem rational. The way the story ends makes all the difference in a story, for example, in the Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe, if the Mad Man didn’t admit his deed, guilt would’ve never been the moral! Hope this helps!

what statement is most clearly an example of logos?

the answer is subjective. i personally agree with the first answer for this question.

if one isn't strictly talking about objects then the correct answer would be 'my eyes' since according to this riddle i am asleep and in order to answer/open the door i need to open my eyes first of all.

however, if one is specifically looking for an object, then the first thing i would open would be the door

hope this !
