Which sentence from the passage builds tension? Lea's Load by B. K. McSwain "Lea! Did you eat the last apple I was going to use

to make us a pie? Don't you know there's a war going on?" her mother shouted out the window. Lea, sitting below on the apartment stoop, tossed an apple core into the bushes; yes, she knew there was a war going on. Ever since that German guy decided to invade Poland, there had been a war going on turning her life in Rome, Italy, inside out and upside down until she couldn't even eat an apple in peace. Lea grabbed the bucket and trudged to the custodian's closet for a mop with little consolation that her work efforts helped pay the rent while papa was away in the war. Fear inched up her spine as she opened the door to the dark, dank, and dusty room. She steeled herself to run in and run out when a movement in the corner caught her attention. Sunlight streamed in, shining a beacon on blonde hair that stuck up like thatch from a young man's head as he crouched, clothed in a tattered German uniform, with his arms wrapped around his knees, shaking and muttering. "What are you doing in here?" Lea demanded in her native Italian tongue. She knew some German from her schooling, so when the young man stuttered his reply, she understood him to say in his German tongue, "no more war," but his petrified, blue eyes pleaded better than his German could. Lea, seeing he was no more than 16 years, motioned him to stay and remain quiet. Sneaking up to her apartment, she heard her mother in the back rooms, so Lea stole into the kitchen and retrieved a long loaf of bread from the window sill. Swiftly cutting it lengthwise, she stuffed it with sliced salami and wrapped it in wax paper before placing it in her bucket to lug back to the fugitive. "Here," she offered the provender to him, and he bit into it ravenously. "Slow down! I don't know when I can get you more—this must last you days." She gestured hoping he would understand, and then she began the perplexing task of determi

Read: The Dark Secrets of this Now-Empty Island in Maine How does knowing the historical context of a text change or alter the w
____ [38]

Answer:

By knowing the historical context of a novel or piece of literature one can deeply understand what exactly the author is trying to convey. For instance, in the short article "The Dark Secrets of this Now-Empty Island in Maine," which describes events that occurred in the 1910s that completely altered the history of Malaga Island. Without knowing many important historical aspects and the sense of society in this certain time period, one would not completely understand the truth behind this island. Malaga Island was, “a community of mixed races” which “drew the attention of those opposed to miscegenation, and Mainers with a bigoted view,” (Jester). African Americans in the 1910s were still not accepted in society and because of this many people believed that the residents on Malaga island “would interfere with tourist’s vision of the picturesque Maine ideal,” (Jester). The state decided that the people on Malaga Island were to be evicted, and exclaimed them to, “leave and remove your homes, or forcibly be removed and your homes will be burned,” (Jester). And so the people of Malaga Island did, “Many residents floated their homes up and down the river” and even “Some perished from this ordeal, with one mother who had fallen ill,” this brutal way of expelling these people from their homes, ripped families apart by killing one another by this harsh journey. As the eviction and many important events started to fade, “The state did its best to erase the past, but an ugly linguistic reminder kept bubbling up” (Jester). The word “Malago… was a way to talk about people of dark skin, or less than average intelligence,” (Jester). A simple word that may seem completely irrelevant to one who knows nothing about Malaga Island. But to one who knows the historical context of this empty and forgotten island, it is a great ordeal and brutal reminder of its inhumane past.

Here's what I put, hopefully it works for you guys!

Rus_ich [418]
Alleged madness

The passage from Act 3 Scene 4 has the recurring idea of  alleged madness. First, Olivia, Maria, Sir Toby and Fabian were all making Malvolio seem crazy and devil-possessed with his snobbery and arrogance. Then, the passage shows Olivia desperately in love, thinking she is like Malvolio--going mad. Lastly, Antonio's friendship to Sebastian ( who was actually Cesario) was introduced. Antonio was made to seem mad from his misdirected loyalty.
