Answer:

The setting gives more of a cautious and for me kind of an unemotional mood. Rainsford is looking at his surroundings wondering what he's going to do, but he really cant do anything Besides sleep.

Answer:  The mood is uneasy, perhaps ominous; there is a sense of foreboding.

Explanation: inclusion of details such as the "stealthy steps" outside his room, the "dark and silent" chateau, "black noiseless forms" moving in the pattern of shadow, and the "sallow moon"  create a mysterious scene which the protagonist, Rainsford, is sleepless, disturbed by the sounds and sights in his surroundings.

Do you feel that Harrison Bergeron acted heroically by going against the rules of the society?
Alekssandra [29.7K]
One could argue that Harrison DID act heroically because he was so intelligent as evidenced by his many handicaps, especially the ones that would cause noise to disrupt his thoughts and weights to stop his strength. Since he was able to escape and because he was able to take off all his handicaps, it shows that he must've understood the consequences of declaring himself emperor on national television. He didn't gather weapons or assemble an army. Instead he chose to dance and made it extremely easy for the government to find him. He had to know that the Handicapper General would kill him to protect their society. Since he chose to defy the rules of society and live, briefly, free of their constraints, it is easy to see why someone may consider Harrison to be a hero. Choosing to die free of the constraints of his society is very heroic.
On the other hand, one could also argue that it wasn't heroic at all, since he did NOT escape with a plan to help other people, including his parents, who were subject to the terrible laws and handicaps set on them by the government. A truly heroic person would have thought of other people, too, and not just himself. We know that Harrison is the strongest, most beautiful, and most intelligent person there is because he has such heavy and ugly handicaps. Someone who has so many gifts SHOULD help other people. In most definitions of the word, a hero is someone who sacrifices part or all of him or herself to help other people. Harrison did not help anybody except the ballerina with whom he danced, and that caused her death, too.

What is connotation, and how is it used by writers to create a mood
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Writers often use connotation to create emotional associations that can be either positive, negative, or neutral. Positive connotation. Words that conjure a favorable emotional response. For example, describing someone ambitious as a “go-getter” or someone who is lively and curious as “youthful.” Negative connotation.
