The Fowl in the Pot by Stanley J. Weyman (excerpt) Arriving at a house, which, if we might judge in the darkness, seemed to be o

f rather greater pretensions than its fellows, our guide stopped, and whispered to us to mount some steps to a raised wooden gallery, which intervened between the lane and the doorway. On this, besides the door, a couple of unglazed windows looked out. The shutter of one was ajar, and showed us a large, bare room, lighted by a couple of rushlights. Directing us to place ourselves close to this shutter, the innkeeper knocked at the door in a peculiar fashion, and almost immediately entered, going at once into the lighted room. Peering cautiously through the window we were surprised to find that the only person within, save the newcomer, was a young woman, who, crouching over a smoldering fire, was crooning a lullaby while she attended to a large black pot. Which word best describes the tone of the excerpt? A. troubled B. mysterious C. frustrated D. mocking

Answer:

B. mysterious

Explanation:

The word that best describes the tone of the excerpt is that it was mysterious.

According to the excerpt of <em>The Fowl In The Pot </em>by Stanley J. Weyman, a group of people arrived at a certain house at night and the house seemed "to be of rather greater pretensions".

Also, their guide was whispering to them as if there was something malevolent lurking around. The guide also proceeded to knock at the door "in a peculiar fashion"  and when the group of people looked into the house, they saw a young woman who was bent over a fire and "crooning a lullaby while attending to a large black pot".

Answer:

John Wilkes booth was a strong supporter of the South.

Explanation:

When the Civil War began, Booth was a strong supporter of the Southern resistance. During a performance in Albany, New York he revealed his admiration for the South’s secession, calling it “heroic.” His audience was enraged, calling his words “treasonous statements,” but their shouts did little to curb his success. Booth did not appreciate the political outcome of the presidential election. When Lincoln was elected, Booth drafted a long statement discrediting the abolitionist movements of the North, but the statement was never published. Booth was reportedly outspoken about his love for the South and hatred for Lincoln.With this hatred and tension building up, Booth decided that he was going to kill the president.

Which story is often associated with magical realism?
nalin [4]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. The Metamorphosis.

Explanation:

Magical realism, as the name itself suggests, is a type of predominantly realistic writing that contains some supernatural, or <em>magical </em>elements as well. Even though it <em>mostly </em>refers to Latin American literature, there are many examples of magical realism in European literature as well, such as Bulgakov's <em>The Master and Margarita </em>or Kafka's <em>The Metamorphosis. </em>

In <em>The Metamorphosis, </em>the protagonist Gregor suddenly turns into a cockroach, which is obviously magical. The realism is the fact that his transformation is a symbol of his routine, unhappy life.
