KengaRu [80]3 years ago
6 0

While describing Kenny, the narrator uses a mysterious tone. The narrator most likely uses this tone to create traits of Kenny. The description of Kenny makes you think of him as tough, or mysterious. Its used to create your impression of him. The narrator uses physical description rather than personality descriptions, to create a “Unknown” vibe to him. “…with a pale skin…” most likely reference that he’s supernatural. Although people can have pale skin, pale skin is often used in stories to create an unnatural being; zombies, monster, etc. “He was tall, gaunt…” creates a tough tone. All of this is important because it adds on to the central idea of the passage. Tone is important because it helps develops the vibe and the theme of the story. From observation, this is most likely an excerpt from a mysterious passage. You can use the tone, word choice, and message to more understand the passage.

in death of a salesman when willy takes the stockings linda is mending from her hand what in the word miller uses to describe hi
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Arthur Miller used the word "angrily" in describing Willy's actions in taking the stockings from Linda's hands.

Explanation:

Arthur Miller's play "Death of A Salesman" tells the story of a salesman Willy who had an affair with his secretary while at the same time trying to make things work in his own household. He seemed to be a delusional man who believes things easily and has to be dependent on other for anything he does.

Even though he is the head of the family and a salesman, he seemed incapable of doing things the right way. His wife Linda is quite the opposite of him, staying loyal and true to her family even when she knows the reality of the situation. She chides her children to work hard and help their father, and she also is the first to realize the sui cide attempt/thoughts of her husband Willy. Willy, on the other hand, may be childlike at times and even talks unrealistically at times. His act of forcibly and "angrily" snatching the stockings that his wife was mending in Act I shows his pride in not letting her wear an old stocking even though he did not buy her a new one. Rather, we came to know that he had been buying his mistress new stockings every time.
