Answer:
“The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County” is a short story written by Mark Twain. It was published in November 1865 in the New York Saturday Press. This story preceded the novels that made Twain famous, including The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. For the public in the United States, it cast Twain as a master of humor and dialect.
In the story, a narrator from the East visits a mining camp during the gold rush in California. His friend sent him to find information about a Reverend Smiley. He encounters Simon Wheeler, who begins to tell him a story about a Jim Smiley. Wheeler tells a tall tale about Jim Smiley’s gambling.
Explanation:
1. The narrator's nine-year-old daughter, knowing that her father writes war stories, asks him if he has ever killed anyone. The narrator says no but resolves to tell her the truth when she is grown (so yes she might ask the same question when she is older.)
2. because he wants his writing to be heard.
3. because it was his thing to kill anyone he saw, so his body reacted way before he has time to think whether or not he should kill or not. I probably would’ve done the same.
4. he focuses on the deaths because those thoughts aren’t easy to go away.
What I do when I have a report and don't read the book, I go to google and look up a summery for the book, it should only be a few paragraphs that tells the whole story.

Antinous threw a stool, and banged his shoulder

Explanation:
Here is a poor man come, a wanderer, driven by want to beg his bread, and everyone in hall gave bits, to cram his bagÑonly Antinous threw a stool, and banged his shoulder "Suppose Athena's arm is over us, and Zeus her father's, must I rack my brains for more?" "The cruel belly, can you hide its ache? How many bitter days it brings!" Odysseus only shook his head, containing thoughts of bloody work, as he walked on, then sat, and dropped his loaded bag again upon the door sill.
