Answer:

They were not interested in Edward so they did not hold him for ransom. They just wanted money and holding Edward would be very laborious and exhausting.

They decided not to keep Edwardo for internal reasons.

Explanation:

In "Why, You Reckon?" we learn that the narrator and the other man who are Esward’s executioners decide not to hold him for ransom. That's because these men had no interest in Edward, they were hungry, exhausted, feeling weak and lacking energy. They just wanted the money and keeping Edward would be consensus, exhausting and spend even more energy than these men had to continue. Hunger, lack of energy and the desire to avoid unnecessary work, were the internal reasons that influenced men not to keep Edward.

In Why, You Reckon the narrator and the other man don't hold Edward for ransom because they just were interested in the money he had.

I would say the motivation for not doing so was external since they were hungry and taking the time for holding Edward would have taken a lot of time.

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Humorous

Explanation:

Miss Lottie’s house was the most ramshackle of all our ramshackle homes. The sun and rain had long since faded its rickety frame siding from white to a sullen gray. The boards themselves seemed to remain upright not from being nailed together but rather from leaning together, like a house that a child might have constructed from cards. A brisk wind might have blown it down, and the fact that it was still standing implied a kind of enchantment that was stronger than the elements. There it stood and as far as I know is standing yet—a gray, rotting thing with no porch, no shutters, no steps, set on a cramped lot with no grass, not even any weeds—a monument to decay.

"like a house that a child might have constructed from cards. A brisk wind might have blown it down, and the fact that it was still standing implied a kind of enchantment that was stronger than the elements."
