There are many ways that this can be interpreted. One answer can be Curly's wife. She was bored with life there and liked talking to men so if she hadn't been flirtatious and promiscuous, Lennie wouldn't have ended in the situation. On other hand, you can say that it was Curly's fault since she wouldn't have behaved so if he paid more attention to her and was a better husband.

Answer: Two character traits that the narrator demonstrates are insanity and paranoia.

Explanation:

In this short story written by Edgar Alan Poe, the narrator wants to assure us that he is sane, although he has committed a murder. However, it very soon becomes clear to the readers that he is insane. He is obsessed with his roommate's evil eye, which is why he kills him:

"I undid it just so much that a single thin ray fell upon the vulture eye … but I found the eye always closed; and so it was impossible to do the work; for it was not the old man who vexed me, but his Evil Eye."

After killing his roommate, the narrator chops him up. He, however, becomes paranoid, convinced that the dead man's heart is still beating. When the police arrives, he hears a heart beat, and assumes that they can hear it too. He believes that they know his secret and thus confesses to the police:

"Almighty God! --no, no! They heard! --they suspected! --they knew! --they were making a mockery of my horror!-this I thought, and this I think. But anything was better than this agony! Anything was more tolerable than this derision!"

Dad noticed a flat tire on the car. We reached the store an hour later." What probably happened between these two events?

jekas [21]

The correct answer is Dad fixed the car. In the first sentence, it is mentioned that the car broke down so it couldn't move at all. In the second sentence, it is mentioned that they reached the store an hour later which means that during that time the problem was solved so the car could move. This is the most logical answer since adding other options would need the presence of more information for them to be viable.
