Answer:
It was very low inside the house, and so dim, with the closed blinds, that they could scarcely see one another;
Her father standing decorously apart with his hat on his forearm, as at funerals; a woman rested in a deep arm-chair, and the woman who had let the strangers in stood behind the chair.
<em>Editha</em>, by William Dean Howells, is an antiwar story published in 1905. Its characters are people who greatly value custom and ritual, even when it is objectively inconvenient or awkward for them to do so.
The two chosen lines exemplify that character trait. In the first sentence, the house has the blinds closed, as was common for houses where the family had recently experienced a loss or a tragedy. This rule is followed, even though it meant that the characters were barely able to see each other.
The second sentence has a similar example, as Edith's father stands at a distance and with his hat in his hands. We are told this is the way it is done at funerals, which is consistent with the previous sentence and with the character's personality traits.
The most exciting and yet the saddest part of the story comes when the end is near for the stowaway. The pilot of the spaceship shuttle is able to reach the authorities who refuse to make an exception to inevitable death for the stowaway. However, she finally gets to speak to her brother whom she was planning to see and explain her position on why she did what she did. Her realization that death is inevitable for her comes when she is forced to become an adult in a very brief period of time to face her fears and her consequences. Then the hatch opens and she is gone . . .

Hi! :)
The the commercial you watch on the apple web site, the cheerleaders yell "mac is number one". This is NOT an example of the name calling propaganda technique!
Propaganda are advertisements that promote a product or service. An example would be an ad that promotes one brand of toothpaste over another.
Hope this helps~
