Answer with Explanation:

Using sounds in a story is an essential way of allowing the readers to <em>bring out their senses</em> so they can fully understand what characters in the story feel and how events are actually happening.

"The Quest of the Silver Fleece" is a novel written by W.E.B. Du Bois. It centers on the life of Zora, a child who came from the <em>Southern area. </em>The author uses sound to establish the mood of the story.

For example, in the first chapter <em>(Dreams)</em>, the author describes the scene as night time by describing how the boy was listening to the voice of crickets. It is commonly known for crickets to chirp during night time. So, this creates <u>a peaceful mood in the mind of the readers. </u>

Another example in the same Chapter <em>(Dreams)</em>, the author describes the boy as to having heard a <em>human music</em>. This then changes the mood<u> from serene to something which the boy finds thrilling. </u>The boy then started to chase where the sound was coming from because he heard something so sweet. This makes the reader also<em> excited</em> to know who or what it was.

<em>"The boy wheeled blindly and fled in terror stumbling through the swamp, </em><em>hearing strange sounds </em><em>and feeling stealthy creeping hands and arms and </em><em>whispering voices.</em><em>" </em>This is another example in the<u> same chapte</u>r which shows a mystery in the boy. It brings about a <em>terrifying experience</em> that the boy is feeling. It gives a<u> mysterious mood</u> for the reader and a <u>curiosity </u>in why such strange sounds were causing terror on the boy.

Answer:

Falsee edited 2nd time!!

Explanation:

by the way it really depends

A calendar will not be helpful in planning your study schedule. The date your Science project is due should be recorded on a daily organizer. Sometimes when people procrastinate, they do unimportant tasks before the important ones. The dates of Spring Break should be included on your weekly calendar.
