Which excerpt from "The Adventure of the Mysterious Picture" conveys the eerie tone of the passage? The uneasiness of my positio

n made my slumber troubled, and laid me at the mercy of all kinds of wild and fearful dreams. I was hag-ridden by a fat saddle of mutton; a plum pudding weighed like lead upon my conscience; the merry thought of a capon filled me with horrible suggestions. As I heard the wind moan among the trees, I caught a reflection of this accursed visage in the pane of glass, as though it were staring through the window at me. I determined to force myself not to look at the painting but to undress quickly and get into bed.

Answer: As I heard the wind moan among the trees, I caught a reflection of this accursed visage in the pane of glass, as though it were staring through the window at me.

This line is the one that conveys the eerie tone of the passage the best, as it displays the most elements of supernatural, scary elements. "The wind moaning among the trees" makes the reader feel like the sound was scary for the character. Moreover, "the reflection of the accursed visage" and "staring through the window at me" convey both creepiness and surprise.

I believe it would be the acursed visage because it is very eerie that something would be staring at you through your window on a windy, stormy night.

write a story that ends with the statement I have never felt so embarrassed in my life Answer should not be less than 450 world
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

I remember when I was in my final year in my senior secondary school. I was  the top choice student and naturally was made the school's head boy. Being the head boy almost meant I was invincible to anything in school; or so I thought, until this faithful day.

The cross of being the head boy came with the added weight of the fact that I was expected to lead all the academic extracurricular activities in my school. These activities included external and internal debates, quiz and science competitions. This, ordinarily would have been no problem, save for the fact that I was extremely shy, and very timid- "there is no excuse for failure!" I would always say to myself, and I did quite alright for most of the time, almost always passing the debate to lower class student under the cloak of 'training them.'

A day came, and a major debate was set in our school. It was so big that I could not not participate, and the whole school would be in the school hall for the debate. To match what was expected of me, I practiced for two days straight, ahead of the event; practically memorizing everything I had. Hours before the event, I hid myself in an empty class, and practiced more. I concluded I was going to kill it. I though wrong.

The big day came, and my performance was left for last, to be the highlight of the event. When the time finally came, I was already covered in sweat. I couldn't back down now. I thought, and thought, and then summoned enough courage to move my legs unto the stage. The hall went silent with expectation, students, teachers, and guests were all focused on me and I swear I felt their gaze burn through me like laser beams. I opened my mouth to start, fumbled through the greetings and introduction before I realized I had forgotten the topic. I turned around to look at the banner behind me for the topic. When I turned back, my gaze fell straight into my mom's gaze, her face was so serious with the most expectation, and I felt my heart drop. It turned out she was sitting in the first row all these while. I took a deep breath, encouraged myself to say something, and I did- unintelligibly, I had no direction with what I was saying, and I forgot everything I had practiced. Suddenly, the hall erupted with laughter, everybody was laughing at me, some fell to the ground, others had tears in their eyes. I was the joke of the day. I turned towards mom, it was like she was laughing the most. My legs shook. I was surprised they still carried me. I looked for the hall's exit and it immediately became very far from me, but I couldn't take it anymore. I made for the exit, through the center of the hall, and the laughter intensified. I had never felt so embarrassed in my life.

What is one reason for a writer to choose descriptive words and details?
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

to keep the audience engaged

Explanation:

One major reason a writer would decide to choose descriptive words and details is to keep the audience engaged.

Descriptive words are those words that are used to give greater detail about something and writers use this technique in order to have a clear thesis statement.

Therefore, it is necessary to use descriptive words to keep the audience engaged so their attention would not wander.
