Answer:
Jimmy had this feeling because his mother not scolding him because of his disobedience felt like he had suddenly grown up and was now left alone to make decisions on his own, something he was not used to.
Explanation:
Jimmy Swanson insisted on going for the hike with Paul even when his mother did not grant him the permission. He felt caged because his parents always monitored him and made important decisions for him. Now, however, he flouted his mother's instructions, went on the hike, and even invited Paul to come over to his place.
Strangely, his mother approved of his decision as against the scolding which he expected. This was new to him, and left him feeling like he was now alone in the world to make his own decisions. It is just like seeking freedom and when you finally get it, you discover that it comes with responsibilities.
Answer:
D: he is brave
Explanation:
The excerpt is from "The Masque of the Red Death" by Edgar Allan Poe. The story depicts the "The Red Death", a lethal disease that plagues Prince Prospero's kingdom. Throughout the text, Prince Prospero is depicted as an arrogant, selfish, dauntless and fearless man who only cares about protecting himself and the elites of his kingdom.
<em>"The Red Death, a bloody disease that kills a man rapidly with a seizure and bleeding from the pores, is terrorizing the country. </em><em>But Prince Prospero is unaffected. </em><em>Though his people are dying by the hour, he gathers his friends and his knights and shuts himself away in an ornate abbey, which he designed himself. "</em>
In the current excerpt, the words,<em> "Prince Prospero, maddening with rage and the shame of his own momentary cowardice." and "He bore aloft a drawn dagger, and had approached, in rapid impetuosity, to within three of four feet of the retreating figure." </em>convey that although Prince Prospero's authority and determination have been severely challenged by the Red Death, he willfully draws a dagger and decides to confront the figure.
