The excerpt uses explicit details in the following way: it provides a <u>physical description</u> of Sarah Penn (small woman, short waist, gray hair, mild forehead, downward lines about her nose and mouth). All of it is explicit, since there is no room for interpretation, it is what it is. In other words, such details are concrete ones, since they are physical and nothing else.
As for implicit details, we can find them in a figure of speech (a <u>hypallage</u>, which uses an adjective or participle to describe a noun other than the person or thing it is in fact describing): we learn Sarah Penn's forehead was benevolent, that is, it showed her benevolence (an implicit detail, since it was Sarah, and not her forehead, that was benevolent). It is a trait which implicitly tells something about the character's personality. There is also the description of <u>meek downward lines</u> about her nose and mouth. Again, a hypallage which implicitly tells us something about the character: it is Sarah who is gentle and humble, and not the lines about her nose and mouth.

The Chinese had one of the biggest influences on them with their invention of paper and writing on it. Now, Islamic religious laws could be written down and paper and spread throughout countries to educate people on their religion.
I don't see how checks or medicine would influence religion, and arabesques already existed in the Islamic world.

Certain characters in a story could seem one way but turn out to be different in the end. For example, a character could be nice throughout the entire story up until the turning point. This certain character could turn out to be the antagonist after all and we wouldn't suspect It or vice versa. The antagonist could turn into a protagonist towards the end. It all depends on how the character is developed and presented.
