Answer:

Bud was afraid that monsters will come out of the "two little doors" while he sleeps.

Explanation:

The story of Bud, Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis tells the story of a young African American boy named Bud Caldwell and his life shifting through foster homes. He also has a mission in his life, which is to find his father who had abandoned them.

Chapter 15 of the story is about the time he first stepped into the Grand Calloway Station, the house where he was to stay. The owner Mr. Herman E. Calloway was or seemed to be a hard man, who disliked Bud for some reason. He even whispered to him that very night they arrived "You've got the rest of them fooled, but not me. There's something about you that I don't like. I'm going to find out what your game is and you, believe me, scamp, you're going back where you belong". The room where he was to sleep has two little doors which scared him. He thinks that the doors housed monsters, "a young Frankenstein or wolfman" that will hurt him while he's sleeping.

Summary Act II

Summary

John Proctor sits down to dinner with his wife, Elizabeth. Mary Warren, their servant, has gone to the witch trials, defying Elizabeth’s order that she remain in the house. Fourteen people are now in jail. If these accused witches do not confess, they will be hanged. Whoever Abigail and her troop name as they go into hysterics is arrested for bewitching the girls.

Proctor can barely believe the craze, and he tells Elizabeth that Abigail had sworn her dancing had nothing to do with witchcraft. Elizabeth wants him to testify that the accusations are a sham. He says that he cannot prove his allegation because Abigail told him this information while they were alone in a room. Elizabeth loses all faith in her husband upon hearing that he and Abigail were alone together. Proctor demands that she stop judging him. He says that he feels as though his home is a courtroom, but Elizabeth responds that the real court is in his own heart.

Answer: Genre

Short story Setting and Context An unnamed Jewish village in rural Eastern Europe, likely Poland, set during the winter months and Point of View Third-person narrative

Tone and Mood From the beginning, the tone and mood are grim, as the family has no money for Hanukkah and therefore decided to sell their goat. The mood shifts and becomes dramatic and grave as the storm threatens Aaron and Zlateh. But as soon as Aaron discovers shelter in the haystack, a sense of hope imbues the story with a good-natured mood and a reflective, wise tone. Protagonist and Antagonist

Protagonists: Aaron and Zlateh. Antagonist: the blizzard. Major Conflict

The conflict exists in the struggle between Aaron and Zlateh against the fierce blizzard .Climax The story comes to a climax when the storm threatens Aaron and Zlateh, and they face the prospect of freezing to death. Just at that moment, they find a haystack for crucial shelter. Foreshadowing The coziness inside the haystack foreshadows the comfort of life back at home in the village, suggesting that Aaron and Zlateh will find their way home together in the end. Understatement N/A Allusion The Jewish holiday of Hanukkah is alluded to as the context for the story.Imagery Throughout the story, the natural world is described with vivid imagery. The narrator paints a picture of the dark and threatening storm, as well as the beauty and calm of the world after the storm. ParadoxThe very storm that threatens Aaron and Zlateh is also the impetus for Zlateh's salvation from the butcher. Parallelism The cozy atmosphere inside the haystack parallels the warmth of the family home back in the village.Metonymy and Synecdoche N/A Personification Several aspects of the natural world come to life through personification, especially the elements of the storm and the calm skies after the storm. For example, during the storm, the narrator describes the wind wailing "with one voice and then with many... [with] the sound of devilish laughter." Similarly, after the storm, the narrator notes how the "moon swam in the sky as in a sea.”Next Section Related Links Previous Section Yiddishism and Americanism in Isaac Bashevis Singer's Work Buy Study GuideCite this page Primis Player Placeholder GradeSaver will pay $15 for your literature essays GradeSaver will pay $25 for your college application essays GradeSaver will pay $50 for your graduate school essays – Law, Business, or Medical GradeSaver will pay $10 for your Community Note contributions GradeSaver will pay $500 for your Textbook Answer contributions STUDY GUIDE NAVIGATION About Zlateh the Goat.Zlateh the Goat Summary Character List Glossary Themes Quotes and Analysis Summary And Analysis Part I Part II
