Hello!
I'd say that the mood of this excerpt is suspenseful.
First of all, the setting is during the night, and this centers around a man by himself on patrol and hearing footsteps drawing near. Passages like this would usually create a feeling of anticipation for what's going to happen next.
Hope I helped! :3
Answer:
this perspective is inaccurate because characters using informal language doesn’t mean that they’re unintelligent.
Explanation:
it’s the same thing for formal language. there’s a time and place for both informal and formal language. if a bunch of characters are friends and hanging out, then they’d want to use informal language with each other. informal language can also be more realistic to use for characters. for example if all characters in a book are in high school, it would be really unrealistic to have all of them use formal language and walking around talking like they're in a job interview.
those critics are assuming that informal language = unintelligent characters when that is just not true. characters can be intelligent and still use informal language because that’s normal for them or they’re in a place with people where using informal language is better.
You already did it its correct
Ethos I believe I am doing a course on rhetorical strategies right now
By thinking before we act, we can make better decisions.
Some people say whatever is in their mind without thinking about whether or not they are hurting someone else's feelings. This can lead to tense, ruined relationships.
Hope this helps!
