Answer:

“To me, who knew his every mood and habit, his attitude and manner told their own story. He was at work again.” (paragraph 1)

“His manner was not effusive. It seldom was; but he was glad, I think, to see me.” (paragraph 2)

Explanation:

The two lines above show that Watson had become an expert in studying Holmes. In the first, Watson himself, admits that he knows every mood and habit of Holmes and how they told their own stories. He was able to deduce from them that Holmes was working again.

In the second line, Watson was able to deduce that Holmes was glad to see him even though his manner was not revealing this.

Review of the novel the gift by cecelia ahern

qwelly [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

-About the book -

Lou Suffern is a typical workaholic. He ignores his wife and children. He promises them he'll be somewhere, then breaks the promise because of work. He feels that they should be grateful for the money he makes and the beautiful home they have.

One morning he stops and gives a cup of coffee to a homeless man he passes each day. He tells him, Gabe, that there is probably a job in the mail room if he wants it, and gives him some of his extra clothes, so that he'll look decent.

Gabe gets the job, and seems to have supernatural powers. He influences Lou by looking displeased when Lou puts his work first and breaks a promise to his family. He manages to get from the 14th, (really the 13th,) floor with his mail cart faster than Lou can with the elevator.

He gives Lou a pill which lets him clone himself, giving him the capability to be two places at once. Lou discovers how much his family means to him, and how precious life is.

All of Ahern's books have been different, and all very readable. I liked this book very much.

- The characters -

Lou : - Lou, the main character, is hardworking, workaholic, always busy and ambitious. He's not really like-able but understandable in a way. What I don't like about him is his "hunger" to be always on top, to be in competition with someone, and his disregard for his family. His character development was a bit too sudden for me.

Gabe : - he's still a mystery to me. He played a big part in Lou's character development, though there were times that I don't understand and like him.

Ruth : - Her character was not explored well, but I think she is worth mentioning here. She must love Lou very much for her to stay. I admire her love, patience and loyalty. Despite Lou's reputation, she forgave him and did not give up.

- The Writing -

Written in an omniscient, third person perspective, I was able to put myself into the story, and understand what the author is trying to tell. The flow of the story is smooth; and I liked how the two time frames are connected.

- Star Rating -

★★★★★ (5 stars)

(but the rating depends on you ...this was just my review and my thoughts about the book )

In The Interlopers by Saki what was Gradwiyz looking for in the forest?

prisoha [69]

Answer:

Ulrich von Gradwitz is in the forest to hunt down his archenemy Georg Znaeym in order to kill him. Both Ulrich and Georg despise each other from childhood and their antipathy for each other has blown out of proportion to a point where they want to eliminate each other. This is because of a piece of forest land that separates each family’s land and which had been the root cause of animosity between the two families for several generations. Even though the courts had ruled that the land rightfully belonged to Ulrich’s family, the disgruntled Znaeym family still laid claim over it. During this particular evening, Ulrich just like Georg had ventured into the disputed forest land in order to seek his enemy out and kill him in order to end the generations’ long feud. The two men were in the company of a group of foresters whom they had each gathered to further assist their course. Ulrich finally encounters Georg face-to-face but before any of the men exchange fire, lighting strikes a tree that turns over and traps the men underneath it. While trapped, Georg and Ulrich reconciled and united to call out for help.
