Poe frequently uses repetition in his writing for emphasis or effect. For example, the narrator repeating himself by saying, "...Why will you say that I am mad?" emphasizes that he is mad. Poe repeats a line from earlier in the story during the climax. Paraphrase the repeated line, and comment on the effect that the line produces on the reader

Answer and Explanation:

Paraphrase: The narrator is nervous and disturbed, losing consciousness and bordering on madness.

as you may already know, a paraphrase occurs when we take a text and rewrite it using other words, but keeping the original meaning. The text to which the question refers "nervous - very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses - not destroyed - not dulled them." The best way to paraphrase this text is to show the narrator's state of mind and all the psychological agony he presents.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
