The whole question: 

Read the excerpt from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

It was already bad enough when the name was but a name of which he could learn no more. It was worse when it began to be clothed upon with detestable attributes; and out of the shifting, insubstantial mists that had so long baffled his eye, there leaped up the sudden, definite presentment of a fiend.

"I thought it was madness,” he said, as he replaced the obnoxious paper in the safe, "and now I begin to fear it is disgrace.”

With that he blew out his candle, put on a greatcoat, and set forth in the direction of Cavendish Square, that citadel of medicine, where his friend, the great Dr. Lanyon, had his house and received his crowding patients. "If anyone knows, it will be Lanyon,” he had thought.

Which statement best describes how the author establishes mood in the excerpt?

What is the poem The Courtin' about
Annette [7]
The use of contractions and colloquial 'slang' implies a writer, or persona adopted by the writer, that doesn't have a great deal in the ways of education, he/she appears to be writing things as they are said rather than how we as an audience know them to be spelt. This can be shown by quoting any contraction or wherever there's an amendment to the text, for example "hender" instead of "hinder". 

<span>The use of nature also implies the simpleness of the two characters, by using the stream imagery it gives quite a straightforward steady approach, more gentle than say a river but still pretty much in that ideal</span>

Which textual evidence from “The Interlopers” supports the conclusion that hatred feeds on itself?
Sati [7]

Textual evidence from “The Interlopers” that supports the conclusion that hatred feeds on itself is:

3. "The feud might, perhaps, have died down or been compromised if the personal ill-will of the two men had not stood in the way; as boys, they had thirsted for one another's blood, as men each prayed that misfortune might fall on the other…"

Saki explains the hatred between the Ulrich and the George in the story. As the result of lightning that struck the huge beech tree, both are trapped under the branch of the tree where they are unable to touch each other but can speak. in such heedless situation, Ulrich offers the flask to George, to which he refuses stating he doesn't drink with his enemies. Later Ulrich proposes the treaty of peace and to end this feud. George thinks upon this treaty and accepts the proposal later realizing this feud to be a foolish act. Action falls when they both scream out of help and they see something or someone approaching down the hill. As a result, as they screamed for help, their death arrived down the hill, Wolves.
