4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Hucks came up with an untrue story of a steam boat accident as the reason why he got to his destination late. Mrs phleps inquired if someone was injured, Huck replies that no one was injured except for a black man that died. Mrs Phelps was happy although she does not seem to see the death of a black man as tragedy this is ironic, those who will read this story will still see it as a loss of life even though Mrs Phelps does not.

Shakespeare. Romeo says this in Romeo and Juliet Act 1 Scene 1. Romeo says this to his friend Benvolio who has just suggested that since he can't have Juliet he should look at other beautiful girls. Romeo's response means that basically looking at other girls will just remind him of how much more beautiful Juliet is.

Red

From Night by Elie Weisel
". I looked at my little sister, Tzipora, her blond hair neatly combed, her red coat over her arm: a little girl of seven. On her back a bag too heavy for her. She was clenching her teeth; she already knew it was useless to complain. Here and there, the police were lashing out with their clubs: “Faster!” I had no strength left. The journey had just begun and I already felt so weak . . ."
