Answer:
The room was dark musty and the general aura of the room felt tragic. There was nobody in there. Just a man. One man, Muttering to himself nonsense. He seemed lost, just sitting there. There were strange assortments of unpleasant dolls and toys along with broken ritualistic things piled in a dirty old garbage can in the corner of the room. It was hard to see it. Yet so noticable. The mans eyes were sunken in and his mutterings told me he was in a dark place he couldn't get his mind out of. He looked up at me and his seemed to be begging me never to end up like him and to help him. I looked in the uncomfortable room once and decided I would ignore him. I probably should have helped the old man, but I didn't. I guess I was being ignorant...
Explanation:
I have found this question online, and it is about the short story "The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County," by Mark Twain. The excerpt is long for me to post here, but it begins with the story told by Simon Wheeler, one of the characters.
Answer:
The option that best states how the author develops the character in this excerpt is:
A. with the use of dialect.
Explanation:
When it comes to literature, dialect is related to how the author portrays the characters' speech. Many authors choose to write words with an uncommon spelling just to show that that is the way the character pronounces them. For instance, in books by Zora Neale Hurston, what should be "I" was spelled as "Ah" to emphasize pronunciation.
<u>The same happens in this short story by Mark Twain. The excerpt we are analyzing here uses dialect to reveal more about the character. For example, Wheeler says "feller" instead of "fellow". Twain wants readers to know that Wheeler is a simple man, in contrast with the narrator of the story who is an educated man and who uses a very different (formal) dialect from Wheeler.</u>
