Explanation:

The mood in the poem "The Listeners" is eerie and morbidly fascinating. This mood of morbidity is developed by the use of staple Gothic imagery of full moon and a gloomy forest along with the ominous refrain of ‘Is there anybody there?’. These images create a harrowing effect of fascination while still inducing a horror of the unknown in the poem as it develops around a mysterious traveler and supernatural elements as in 'But only a host of phantom listeners' and in the lines 'Fell echoing through the shadowiness of the still house,  From the one man left awake'

"everyday

use" was written by alice walker. this is a story about two sisters, dee

and maggie wanting to have the handmade quilt. maggie wants to use the thing

for its purpose, while dee appreciates it for being “her heritage”.   the quilt represents family heritage. it was

believed that only dedication and years of hard work can represent a  quilt. 

mama decided to give

the quilts to her less fortunate daughter, maggie because she believed that dee

could not hold the true meaning of their family heritage and   that she would not use the quilts for their

purpose. however, dee believed that maggie can’t appreciate the quilts just as

how she sees them, and she thought that the quilt will be put to “everyday use”

by maggie and within 5 years or so, the quilt will turn into a rag. in the story, dee strongly believed that maggie do not deserve the quilts.
