Read this excerpt from “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” and then answer the questions that follow. It [the tree] was connected wit

h the tragical story of the unfortunate André, who had been taken prisoner hard by; and was universally known by the name of Major André's tree. The common people regarded it with a mixture of respect and superstition, partly out of sympathy for the fate of its ill-starred namesake, and partly from the tales of strange sights and doleful lamentations told concerning it. As Ichabod approached this fearful tree, he began to whistle; he thought his whistle was answered–it was but a blast sweeping sharply through the dry branches. As he approached a little nearer, he thought he saw something white, hanging in the midst of the tree–he paused and ceased whistling; but on looking more narrowly, perceived that it was a place where the tree had been scathed by lightning, and the white wood laid bare. Suddenly he heard a groan–his teeth chattered and his knees smote against the saddle: it was but the rubbing of one huge bough upon another, as they were swayed about by the breeze.

The setting that is used in this excerpt exemplifies the gothic style because the passage has a clear medieval tone used that can be understood by the reader to portray gothic values and morals. Upon further exploration of the text, it can be understood that the speaker or author meant for this passage to be seen in a darker light than most literature was portrayed during that time period.

Which sentence in this excerpt from Eleanor Roosevelt's speech "What Libraries Mean to the Nation" is an emotional appeal to the
shtirl [24]

Answer:

The children in the district are so poor and some of them so pathetic that I suppose the struggle to live has been so great you could not think much about what you fed the mind, but I came away feeling that right there, in one of the biggest and richest states in the country, we had a big area that needed books and needed libraries to help these schools in the education of the children, and, even more, to help the whole community to learn to live through their minds.

What does this line of dialogue reveal about Rainsford’s character?
Dovator [93]
<span>This line of dialogue shows that Rainsford is a rational man. He does not believe in superstition. He is aware that people in a group may disregard their own decision making and critical thinking facilities in favour of confomity within the group. If a superstitious idea begins to gain traction amongst the men, they may succumb to mass hysteria. Rainsford hopes to calm the fears of the listener by telling them indirectly to disregard their own fears about the island.</span>
