Answer:
Louise Carpenter was gripping a desk, her knuckles white.
Explanation:
The question above is related to the story entitled, "Object Lesson," which was written by<em> Ellery Queen (a pseudonym). </em>
The story centers on the character of Ellery, as he was called by Miss Carpenter to have a speech in class regarding<em> "Notorious Criminals I Have Known." </em>This came about when Miss Carpenter knew that three of his students in class were responsible for a juvenile crime she witnessed. However, on the day of the speech, Miss Carpenter noticed that <u>someone stole her $7 inside her envelop.</u>
As Ellery was searching the different places where the suspect might have placed the $7, "<em>Louise Carpenter was gripping a desk, her knuckles white." </em>This causes uncertainty on the reader because<u> it doesn't give a clear sign whether the money will be found or not</u>.
Louise Carpenter's action shows that she is <em>"anticipating to be let down."</em> This means that she, somehow, figured out that <u>Ellery won't be able to find the suspect and money because they only have a few minutes left</u> <em>(4 and 1/2 minutes, to be exact)</em>.<em> </em>
<span>When an activist decides to use a song, speech, or video to communicate his message, he is using strategic support to reach his audience. An activist is someone who passionately believes in a cause.</span>
Seems like "(as one turning from serious things to little
pleasantries) Well ladies, have you decided
whether she was going to quilt it or knot it?"
The excerpt that shows the low self-esteem of the
soldiers and their belief that being a soldier has nothing to do with bravery
from Ernest Hemingway's "In Another Country," is the sentence “ The
three with the medals were like hunting-hawks; and I was not a hawk, although I
might seem a hawk to those who had never hunted; they, the three, knew better
and so we drifted apart.”
Look up Porter v. McCollum
Hope this helps!
