There was an iciness, a sinking, a sickening of the heart—an unredeemed dreariness of thought which no goading of the imaginatio

n could torture into aught of the sublime. What was it—I paused to think—what was it that so unnerved me in the contemplation of the House of Usher? In this excerpt from “The Fall of the House of Usher” by Edgar Allan Poe, what sight has inspired this dire feeling?

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.

In the book <em>Bridge to Terabithia</em>, we meet Jess. Jess is a boy who struggles with confidence, and he does not take a lot of pride in most things he does. However, one thing that he is very proud of is the fact that he is an extremely good runner. At the beginning of the year, he is ready to become the number one runner in his grade. However, when Leslie arrives, she defeats him.

Initially, Jess is very upset about this loss, and he cannot seem to find a way to recover. However, he is eventually able to console himself, as this experience leads him to meet Leslie, who ends up becoming his best friend.
