This dire feeling was inspired by the sight of the House of Usher itself. The excerpt is from the very first paragraph of the story, at which moment we have no idea who the Ushers are, what's wrong with their house (or them), or even who the narrator is. We just get to find out how it made him feel. It infused him with gloom, bleakness, and depression so great that he couldn't comprehend it or understand its cause. This feeling has two functions: it foreshadows that something bad is about to happen at this house, and it builds suspense by signaling to the reader that the house itself is haunted or cursed in some other way - almost as if it had a soul and will of its own.

Example Paragraph -
I woke from my irreproachable idleness of sleep to the ring of my cell. At the absurd time of 1 am, I drowsily, picked up the phone, answering with a dull "Hello". A panicked and angry storekeeper yelled into my ear, reporting a robbery at his shop in the centre of Brocklevin, only a block away from my flat. We exchanged words as I quickly dressed. "I'll be there shortly," I assured the anxious storekeeper before hanging up and brisk;y wandering into the night, flashlight in hand. In just two minutes I had arrived. Carefully I stepped into the scene of the crime. The thief had done the crime in a rush, yet left no conspicuous clues to their identity at the crime scene. I kicked the several knocked over cans, searching for any evidence. As I walked about, there was no doubt in my mind that the criminal was forming another sinister scheme, waiting for the perfect opportunity to bounce back into action. Frustrated, I paced around the shards of broken glass. I tried to think like the thief, slinking into the ominous darkness of the ally. After what seemed like an hour of futile searching, I found something valuable. A small salmon-coloured pouch about the size of a wallet. Excited, I opened it with furious enthusiasm. Inside was a hoard of small objects and a single yellow rose.
- Just think of my example paragraph as an inspiration, and create a unique scenario!
- Hope this helped!~

Answer and Explanation:
The characters trying to change Huck are the widow Douglas and Mrs. Watson. They feel that Huck is rude, uncivilized and behaves like a savage and not like a white southern kid should act. They feel responsible for "fixing" him and preventing him from becoming an unworthy adult and outside the social standards desired by southern society.
Widow Douglas doesn't change all of Huck's clothes, forces him to church and school, and wants him to stop unbecoming childlike habits like smoking. She wants him to become a Christian gentleman. Mrs. Watson, on the other hand, doesn't like him to be illiterate and rude. She tries to teach him to read and wants him to adopt Christian behavior.
It should be noted that Huck is the main character of "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," a book that tells the story of Huck, an adventurous boy, who escapes from an inhospitable environment and lives many adventures, discovering new concepts, breaking prejudices and making friendships.
