Answer:
The authors use of a third person limited perspective allows for the main character's thought to be carried out with descriptive diction and implication towards the other characters and the setting. Dialogue is also used frequently between the characters allowing the reader to infer farther plot details and characterization, especially with the diction the characters use to describe each other and other characters. Though the characters are relatively descriptive with their language, they remain ambiguous about what they know and how they describe their opinion of others. "Then you know practically nothing about my aunt?" pursued the self-possessed young lady. "Only her name and address," admitted the caller. He was wondering whether Mrs. Sappleton was in the married or widowed state. An undefinable something about the room seemed to suggest masculine habitation." This creates a suspense between the reader and the plot by only cluing them in a bit at a time with the same knowledge that the character is receiving, and not giving the reader an insight via dramatic irony, as some stories do. This choice gives the author complete control on how much information the reader can receive at a time, therefore drawing oue the storyline. "Her tragedy?" asked Framton; somehow in this restful country spot tragedies seemed out of place. "You may wonder why we keep that window wide open on an October afternoon," said the niece, indicating a large French window that opened on to a lawn. "It is quite warm for the time of the year," said Framton; "but has that window got anything to do with the tragedy?"
Towards the end, the upfrontness of the the child knowing more about the tragic story more than the adults is shocking to the reader, as the juxtaposition between the characters increases with the new information and how it is delivered. They never came back. In crossing the moor to their favorite snipe-shooting ground they were all three engulfed in a treacherous piece of bog. It had been that dreadful wet summer, you know, and places that were safe in other years gave way suddenly without warning. Their bodies were never recovered. That was the dreadful part of it." Here the child's voice lost its self-possessed note and became falteringly human." The ending of the story brings back the original ambiguity to distract the reader from the very dramatic moment that just happened previously and putting them back into the original small-talk between the characters that the story started with. "I hope Vera has been amusing you?" she said. "She has been very interesting," said Framton. "I hope you don't mind the open window," said Mrs. Sappleton briskly; "my husband and brothers will be home directly from shooting, and they always come in this way."

But Percy is terrified to be diving 600 feet, straight into the muddy waters of the Mississippi River.
The river catches Percy comfortably.
His chimera bite heals, and he feels the venom leaving him.
He realizes that he is completely dry, even though he's underwater. He also realizes that he can light a cigarette lighter underwater. Cooool.
Everything he touches becomes dry.
He also realizes that he is breathing. Underwater.
Percy hears his mom's voice in his head urging him to remember his manners, so he thanks his dad for helping him.
Percy sees Riptide in the muddy river bottom near him.
A voice says, "Percy, take the sword. Your father believes in you" (14.20).
He sees a spirit in the water. She is the color of water, and she has green eyes.
The water spirit tells Percy she is simply a messenger. She says that his mom's "fate is not as hopeless as you believe," and tells him to go to the Santa Monica beach when he reaches Los Angeles (14.24).
The water spirit messenger calls Percy "brave one" and repeats that he must go to the beach in Santa Monica. As she's leaving, she warns him not to trust any gifts.
Percy surfaces to find chaos all around him: "every emergency vehicle in St. Louis was surrounding the Arch. Police helicopters circled overhead. The crowd of onlookers reminded me of Times Square on New Year's Eve" (14.40).
Percy keeps a low profile and hooks up with Grover and Annabeth.
News reporters are reporting that Percy Jackson caused the explosion on the top of the Arch. He is now a fugitive of the law.
The three head back to their Amtrak train, which is due to depart for Denver very soon.
Answer:
"How dumb can you get!" said Robert. "A colossal waste of time if you ask me. So get going! Scram! Shoo!"
Explanation:
According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:
- “You sound as though you never went to school. Or maybe you are a teacher yourself?”
- "How dumb can you get!" said Robert. "A colossal waste of time if you ask me. So get going! Scram! Shoo!"
- "I'm sorry," Robert said meekly, though the whole thing was getting weirder and weirder.
- "It's just that all those ones give me a headache. They actually make things more complicated than they are."
This is the quote that best describes how the dynamic between the number devil and Robert develops throughout the story. In this sentence, we see that Robert opposes the character and wishes of the devil. While the devil wants to help Robert, and considers himself quite intelligent, Robert keeps reminding him of the fact that he is "dumb" and that Robert does not want his help. Therefore, we learn that one purpose of Robert's character is to oppose the number devil.
