Answer: Gleeful

The excerpt describes the ritual of a man who is spying on an old man at night. We know this because the room is dark and the old man is asleep in his bed. Although the narrator is describing a creepy and scary ritual, he sounds satisfied, and even gleeful. He seems proud of his actions and at his excellent execution. He also argues that the fact that he can act so carefully and effectively shows that he cannot be mad.

I would say the narrator is gleeful even though he is dealing with a delicate situation . The following sentence indicates a gleeful mood "Oh, you would have laughed to see how cunningly I thrust it in!" And then "Ha! would a madman have been so wise as this? " this line also indicates a gleeful mood at his giddy happiness at being so successful as not awakening the old man.

Quotation: "What's in a name? That by which we call a rose, by any other word would smell as sweet? (Act 2 Scene 2)

Virty [35]

Answer:

Juliet is not allowed to associate with Romeo because he is a Montague. If he had any other name it would be fine. She’s complaining that his name is meaningless. If the rose had any other name it would still be the same. So with Romeo; he would still be the same beautiful young man even if he had a different name. “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet” Juliet knows that the blood feud prevents her from loving a Montague. She ponders it. It’s only your name that’s the enemy. You are what you are, even though you may be a Montague. What’s ‘Montague’? It isn’t hand or foot or arm or face or any other part belonging to a man. Oh I wish you had a different name. What is so special about a name? A rose, even if it were called something else, would smell just as sweet. So Romeo would still have all the perfection that he has, even if he were not called Romeo. Romeo, take off your name and in exchange for that whole name, which is not really a part of what you are, you can have all of me.

laiz [17]

Answer:

To create suspense, writers must reveal details gradually so readers want more.

Explanation:

Lee Child's "A Simple Way to Create Suspense" is an essay where he narrates or rather expressed his take on creating suspense in his works. The essay provides his approach to making a suspenseful work rather than directly approaching the climax in a story.

In the given paragraph from the end of his essay, he states that there are numerous ways to make work interesting. He agrees that "Attractive and sympathetic characters re nice to have; and elaborate and sinister entanglements are satisfying .... [added with] impossible-to-escape pits of despair". But all these are "luxuries" which provide not enough thrill. Rather, he opines that "the slow unveiling of the final answer" is the basic narrative fuel of any work.

Thus, the central idea of the passage is that writers must reveal details slowly and gradually so that the readers will want more, creating a suspenseful environment.
