Read the excerpt from Irving’s "The Mysterious Stranger." His eyes rolled upwards, until nothing but the whites were visible; hi

s hands were clasped together, until the fingers were deeply imprinted in the flesh. When the music expressed the dying agony, his face gradually sunk upon his knees; and at the touching words resounding through the church, “Jesu mori,” sobs burst from him uncontrolled. Which statement best describes Irving’s tone in the excerpt?

The first sentence of "The Mysterious Stranger" showed his tone very well: "His eyes rolled upwards, until nothing but the whites were visible; his hands were clasped together, until the fingers were deeply imprinted in the flesh" When the story says that "his eyes rolled upwards, until nothing but the whites were visible", that indicates that he is very stressed and upset about something serious. Then it says "his hands were clasped together, until the fingers were deeply imprinted in the flesh", now this indicated that he is very stressed and worried about something. So the tone of the excerpt would be stressed.

Answer:

  • His melancholy tone highlights the despair of the excerpt.

Explanation:

In this excerpt from Irving's "The Mysterious Stranger" the tone is furious and despairing. The peruser can unmistakably make out from the depiction of the character that he is experiencing inside pressures and stresses.

Who says this: "What mean you, foolish girl? Dost thou deem it misery to be endowed with marvelous gifts, against which no power
Anika [276]

Answer:

Rappaccini said these lines.

Explanation:

Nathaniel Hawthorne's short story "Rappaccini's daughter" tells the story of a scientist Giacomo Rappaccini who selfishly kept his daughter Beatrice confined with him in his experimentation with poisonous plants. Along the way, she also became poisonous for other people, herself being immune to the poison of the plants.

Beatrice had began to love a young man named Giovanni, but is fatal for him. She wants to be with him but hadn't realized that he had also became just like her. The excerpt is from when Rappaccini asked her why she claimed to be miserable when she had been endowed with something that no one else has. He could not understand why Beatrice wants to be like a "<em>weak woman, exposed to all evil, and capable of none</em>". According to him, he had given her the greatest gift of being able to withstand any poison but can be destructive over others, whereas she wants to be like other women who can love openly and be like them.
