The words from the above excerpt which most convey the mood are:

“dark hangings through the blood-tinted panes”

“produced so wild a look”

These words helps in creating a dark mood.

The story “The Masque of the Red Death" by Edgar Allan Poe is literally and allegorically about death. Prince Prospero wanted to hide from death but is left not rescued from it. He arranged a party where he invited people from his kingdom. He ordered to decorate the halls with single colors each. The last hall was colored black which symbolizes death and the windows were painted red. There was an ebony clock which strikes everyone’s attention at the passing of every hour. Though people were busy in the celebrating the party with music and orchestra but at every hour when the clock rings which caught everyone’s attention. The tone in which Poe describes the rooms, the clock, the ringing of the clock, the activities of the people and the entry of death in the party gives an insight about the play that death is inevitable. Death is the central theme of the play. The Poe wants to focus on the issue that no one can be rescued from death by applying any means.

Scout fought Walter Cunningham because *
kiruha [24]

Answer: Scout fought Walter Cunningham because she blamed him for being punished on the first day of school.

Explanation:

Jean Louse Finch, known under the nickname "Scout", is a young girl, and a character from Harper Lee's novel, <em>To Kill a Mockingbird</em>.

At the beginning of <em>Chapter 3</em>, it is the first day of school, and the teacher criticizes Scout's father for teaching her how to read. Scout is upset by the teacher's criticism, but the situation becomes even worse later, when the teacher offers Walter Cunningham money for lunch. Scout, aware of the financial situation of the Cunningham family, explains to the teacher that Walter never borrows money, because he cannot pay back. As a result of Scout's behavior (which the teacher considers inappropriate), Scout is punished and her hand is smacked. Scout, clearly angry and frustrated, blames Walter for her bad day, and decides to "rub his nose in the dirt."
