Filmmaking is about control. The screenwriter controls the story. The director controls the actors. The camera operator controls what the audience sees.
However, one element that is very difficult to control is sound. If a film is being made outdoors, a noisy plane might fly overhead. A flock of geese might start squawking. An actor's stomach could grumble during a take. Worse, the footsteps of the filmmakers might be heard off-camera.
All of these things can ruin a film's sound. This is why films use Foley artists. Foley artists improve film sound by recreating it in a soundproof studio. They record themselves making footsteps and opening doors. They jingle keys in their pockets. They sit in old creaking chairs. These sounds are then used to replace the unwelcome sounds that were captured during filmmaking.
Foley sound was named after Jack Foley, who was born in 1891. Jack developed sound tricks that many filmmakers still use today. For example, he moved a cloth around in his pocket to mimic the sound of actors moving around.
Foley sound recording can be physically demanding. If a film showed an actor running and jumping, this probably meant the Foley artist had to run and jump, too. Foley artist Dustin DuPilka, who recorded sounds for the movie Men in Black, said, "If there's a lot of running in a certain [scene], you have to get ready to sweat all day."
Foley sound recording also requires a lot of creative thinking. Artists go to great lengths to get the perfect sound. For example, in the movie E.T., a Foley artist used a wet T-shirt stuffed with Jell-O for E.T.'s walk. In the movie Ice Age, a huge log was dropped into a pit of mud to create the mammoth's footsteps.
The next time you watch a film, listen carefully. Chances are that much of what you are hearing was created by a Foley artist.

Explanation:
Read the excerpt from "The Most Dangerous Game."
Bleak darkness was blacking out the sea and jungle when Rainsford sighted the lights. He came upon them as he turned a crook in the coast line, and his first thought was that he had come upon a village, for there were many lights. But as he forged along he saw to his great astonishment that all the lights were in one enormous building—a lofty structure with pointed towers plunging upward into the gloom. His eyes made out the shadowy outlines of a palatial chateau; it was set on a high bluff, and on three sides of it cliffs dived down to where the sea licked greedy lips in the shadows.
"Mirage," thought Rainsford. But it was no mirage, he found, when he opened the tall spiked iron gate. The stone steps were real enough; the massive door with a leering gargoyle for a knocker was real enough; yet above it all hung an air of unreality.

This question is about "Wife of Bath"
Answerand Explanation:
1. At the beginning of the story, the gentleman was grateful for the old woman's help, but he was depressed and ashamed of having to marry her. That's because he didn't love her and wanted to marry a beautiful, young woman who was not ashamed. However, after the old woman's wise words and her transformation into a beautiful young man he came to love her.
2. In this passage the gentleman shows himself to be a man very concerned with the view that others have of him and the choices he made in life. That is why he is ashamed of his marriage, despite the fact that it shows that he is a man who keeps his promises.
3. This shows how human nature tends to be more concerned with appearances than with the content of something. We are constantly worrying about what others will think of us, in caring for what life proposes to us.

Please help me with this I need it by today
Answer:
Icy fingers gripped my arms in the darkness... I shrieked, flinging my arm away. Edging to the other side of the bed, I fumbled for the light switch. There was no use screaming for help, I was alone in the big, empty house. Whatever this was, I would have to face it myself. The light clicked on, and I was blinded, my bleary eyes adjusting to the darkness. Turning, I looked at my attacker to find...
A gnome? He looked like something straight off the neighbor's lawn, with pointy ears, a little pointed hat, and a portly belly.
"Come." the gnome said in a gruff voice. "There isn't much time to explain."
"Explain what?" I said, still in my pajamas and very confused. "Where are we going?"
"The darklands, of course, your highness. Your dragon awaits you."
"I think you have me mistaken with someone else. I'm not a monarch, I'm just a sleepy kid. And I sure don't own a dragon." The gnome sighed, and touched my head. It all came flooding back. The eternal war, my dragon, the fight against the darkness to save the world above.
"Shall we, Gnolon?" I said, swinging my feet out of the bed.
"Indeed, your grace."he replied. And with that, we set off.
Answer:
I'm assuming the Narrative is the starting line.
Explanation:
Icy fingers gripped my arms in the darkness, my heart pounded fearfully in my chest, I needed to run but I couldn't move. I struggled against the harsh grip, no doubt I would be left with bruises if I ever managed to escape, I kicked out blindly, connecting with something apparently living because my arm was freed. I forced my feet to move, running down the dark corridor as fast as I could, searching for a door or light anywhere. I felt like the walls were closing in as I heard the heavy footsteps behind me, I sped up with energy I didn't know I had. I felt my lungs start to burn as exhaustion slowed my feet, but I had to push on, I couldn't be caught, I just couldn't.
Something brushed my arm and I yanked it away out of reflex, hearing an angry snarl behind me. I spotted what could possibly be the outline of a door, it was a short distance away, but I had no idea if I could make it in time. I couldn't tell if the pounding in my ears was my erratic heartbeat or the impending footsteps as they got closer, closer, closer. The door was so close, I could almost reach it, almost, I stretched my hand towards it, reaching desperately for safety. There was no door, it was a trick of my desperate mind, I was cornered, there was no escape. I felt the icy fingers on my arm again and finally gave up.
Sorry if its a bit dark, but it was super fun to write, I hope this is what you needed.

Read this stanza from “The Road Not Taken.” What does the speaker predict?
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
That his life will be better after taking the less travelled road
That he will forget all about his decision
That he will remember this moment and tell about it
Answer:
That he will remember this moment and tell about it
Answer:
The last stanza is consistent with the others in saying that the grassier, less worn path was the best decision. Also, it follows the others in that the speaker doesn’t dwell on the other possibilities he might have faced if he had chosen the first path. He continues to not regret his decision.
But the speaker seems more certain about his choice here than in some parts of the poem. In other lines, the second path is “perhaps” better, and supposedly less worn, but not necessarily so. Also, earlier in the poem, he talks about keeping the option of returning to the first path and wishing he could travel both. In this last stanza, in contrast, the speaker doesn’t envision sharing with others any of his doubts about the one path being “less traveled by.” He sees himself confidently saying it was a great decision, even though he will never know what would have happened if he’d taken the other path instead.
