Yet at the same time, she changes it.
A serpent and an elephant. It was a town of machinery and tall chimneys, out of which interminable [unending] serpents of smoke trailed themselves for ever and ever, and never got uncoiled. It had a black canal in it, and a river that ran purple with ill-smelling dye, and vast piles of building full of windows where there was a rattling and a trembling all day long, and where the piston of the steam-engine worked monotonously up and down, like the head of an elephant in a state of melancholy madness.
The answer is declarative because it is stating a fact.
Answer:
This has us think of all the compliments we have received from others and/or ourselves, then start to think of the kind of person you shouldn't be. This can remind some of things they've done that still brings them guilt. It can help others recognize a narcissist by their response. It is all dependent on the response it's reader. It's helpful to those who don't recognize their own toxic behavior. All in all, this statement can have thousands of responses but only has one outcome, someone's true self showing.
