Read the excerpt. But at that moment I glanced round at the crowd that had followed me. It was an immense crowd, two thousand at

the least and growing every minute. … I looked at the sea of yellow faces … faces all happy and excited over this bit of fun, all certain that the elephant was going to be shot. They were watching me as they would watch a conjurer about to perform a trick. They did not like me, but with the magical rifle in my hands I was momentarily worth watching. And suddenly I realized that I should have to shoot the elephant after all. The people expected it of me and I had got to do it; I could feel their two thousand wills pressing me forward, irresistibly. What makes the narrator in “Shooting an Elephant” by George Orwell realize that he is going to have to shoot the elephant after all? The subinspector tells him to. The crowd begins to disperse. The elephant makes a sudden move. The crowd presses in expectantly.

Answer:

I would say the crowd presses in expectantly or the last one

Explanation:

The reason I say this is because he is being pressured by the expectation of the people. It is also the only one that fits. Reading the excerpt says that he is being pressured especially with the part that says "The people expected it of me and I had got to do it; I could feel their two thousand wills pressing me forward, irresistibly." Which shows that he is in fact being pressured by expectation the answer was in the excerpt you just had to look close enough!! I really hope this helps!

Read the excerpt from ""the lottery."" what information from the excerpt is ironic?
iragen [17]

Answer:

The children arrived first for the lottery.

Explanation:

An irony is a literary device and figure of speech in which words give a direct opposite meaning from the intended meaning.

From the excerpt, we see that the main theme was referring to "school". Therefore, children couldn't be first for the lottery, which is ironic.

What is the atmosphere/mood of "The Ransom<br> of Red Chief”?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

<u>Answer</u>:

The mood of the story "The Ransom  of Red Chief” is fun and light.

<u>Explanation</u>:

"The Ransom of Red Chief" by O. Henry is a light, fun and comical story. Though the story is on kidnapping and taking the ransom for a young boy “Johnny Dorset”, but the mood in the story is light. This is because Bill and Sam, the kidnappers are dumb and idiots. Johnny is the devil’s child, he makes the life of kidnappers very miserable. This leads to comic ways in the story.  

Funniest part is when Johnny’s mother, Ebenezer Dorset agrees to take her son back only if Bill and Sam pay her.
