The writer thinks that he cannot write a good horror story, but stories himself just find him. At one point in the story, when he tries to write and starts speaking with himself, someone answers to him. This person later appears to be a woman who wants to help Hallock to write a ghost story. She appeared in bits and pieces because she was a ghost.
Your answer would be choice A
Answer:
1. The tone being conveyed is a laudatory tone.
2. The poet achieved it by asking a rhetorical question and providing the answer.
Explanation:
1. The tone being conveyed in the last stanza of the poem was a laudatory one. This means that the poet was praising the boy Icarus for trying the boundaries of his intellect.
2. To achieve this, the poet asked a rhetorical question;
<em>Should it matter
</em>
<em>that neither shepherd nor farmer with his plow
</em>
<em>watched him fall?
</em>
He answered the question by saying that 'he now had the answer'. So, even though the boy eventually fell, he had explored the heights of his freedom and had satisfied his curiosity.
