At last, late in the day, they heard a bellowing, low and faint as though far away. They listened and soon heard it again, a lit

tle louder and very fierce and dreadful. "It is he! it is he!" cried Theseus; "and now for the fight!" Then he shouted, so loudly that the walls of the Labyrinth answered back, and the sound was carried upward to the sky and outward to the rocks and cliffs of the mountains. The Minotaur heard him, and his bellowings grew louder and fiercer every moment. "He is coming!" cried Theseus, and he ran forward to meet the beast. The seven maidens shrieked, but tried to stand up bravely and face their fate; and the six young men stood together with firm-set teeth and clinched fists, ready to fight to the last. Soon the Minotaur came into view, rushing down the passage towards Theseus, and roaring most terribly. He was twice as tall as a man, and his head was like that of a bull with huge sharp horns and fiery eyes and a mouth as large as a lion's; but the young men could not see the lower part of his body for the cloud of dust which he raised in running. When he saw Theseus with the sword in his hand coming to meet him, he paused, for no one had ever faced him in that way before. Then he put his head down, and rushed forward, bellowing. But Theseus leaped quickly aside, and made a sharp thrust with his sword as he passed, and hewed off one of the monster's legs above the knee. –“The Cruel Tribute,” James Baldwin Explain how the author creates the suspenseful moment when the Minotaur arrives.

Answer:

James Baldwin speeds up the action to create suspense for the reader. By moving the action forward so quickly, the author leaves the reader anxious to discover if Theseus saves himself and the other characters from the Minotaur.

and when they from thy bosom pluck a flower, guard it, i pray thee, with a lurking adder, whose double tongue may with a mortal
slavikrds [6]

The phrase "and when they from thy bosom pluck a flower, guard it, i pray thee, with a lurking adder, whose double tongue may with a mortal touch" can be found in Richard II: Act 3, Scene 2 by Shakespeare.

<h3>How to illustrate the information?</h3>

It should be noted that this is a summary of Richard II. Henry Bolingbroke is exiled by King Richard II, who also appropriates noble estates and spends the proceeds on war. Richard is removed from power when Henry, who has returned to England to reclaim his property, raises an army of opponents. As Henry IV, he puts Richard in jail, where he is subsequently killed.

The scene here illustrated that on the Welsh coast, Richard and his team have arrived at Harlech Castle. Richard is happy to be back in the UK. In fact, he is so appreciative that he crouchs down, takes up some dirt, and begins to charm it.

Richard then begs the earth not to aid the rebels, instead hoping it will either force the rebels to march through "stinging nettles" or poison them with toads, spiders, and adders. This was illustrated in Richard II: Act 3, Scene 2 by Shakespeare.
