The way the lottery is done in "The Lottery" builds suspense by sparking the reader's interest as to what the lottery is. Once the reader comes to understand that being chosen for the lottery is a bad thing (even though it is not clear exactly what it is until the end), it is suspenseful that names are drawn and called out, because it is a slow way to reveal who is not the loser of the lottery, building the anticipation of the reader, and the fear/nerves of the characters. This is a successful way to form suspense for those both in and out of the story, because both the reader and characters know that something bad is going to happen, but it is a mystery as to whom it will happen.

zhenek [66]

Full question: Read the excerpt from Iqbal.

It's true that Karim did everything the master wanted and that he supervised us, because otherwise he would have had nowhere to go and nothing to eat, but he would never have had the courage to peek into the master's windows. It was big trouble for anyone to go near the house.

In this excerpt, the author characterizes Karim’s actions to: reveal that Karim is unafraid of Hussain Khan. is dependent on Hussain Khan. enjoys working for Hussain Khan. wants to leave Hussain Khan.

Answer: Is dependent on Hussain Khan.

Explanation:

We can see at the beginning of the excerpt that Karim did everything that the master wanted because without him there would be nothing to eat and live which means that he is dependent on his master.

The narrator is clearly showing his dependence and he is dependent on him because those things that he is working for him are bringing him things that are important for his living. If he doesn't do everything for his master, there would be no life for him, he would not have food or home.
