Answer:
The house is not enchanted nor does the landlady possess magical powers.
Explanation:
Roald Dahl's short story "The Landlady" revolves around the story of Billy Weaver and his encounter with a strange landlady in whose "Bed and Breakfast" he was staying. The story ends unresolved, leading the readers to imagine for themselves what really happened in the end.
Billy Weaver had arrived at Bath for the first time to start his job. As he doesn't know anyone, he decided to stay in a hotel for the time being. While looking for a reasonable place to stay, he came upon a small sign that says<em> "Bed and Breakfast"</em>. And he was hooked as if some strange spell was pulling him towards the place. Even the landlady seemed to have been expecting him, for she opened the door right after it rang.
There seems to be no indication that the place was enchanted. But at the same time, there are certain elements that seem to suggest to that. the narrator reveals <em>"his eye was caught and held in the most peculiar manner by the small notice that was there. BED AND BREAKFAST."</em> He continues, <em>"Each word was like a large black eye staring at him through the glass, holding him, compelling him, forcing him to stay where he was and not to walk away from that house." </em>But this doesn't prove that the place is enchanted.
Moreover, the landlady doesn't have any magical powers, rather she was a killer.
The main idea of this paragraph is that they spent weeks trying to determine where the smell was coming from.
Answer:
1. Tom was afraid, but he was sincere in his testimony.
2. He did not deny that he had any contact with Mayella, as she asked him to do favors for her.
3. He didn't deny that he was inside Mayella's house the night she was raped, but he was there to fix a door.
4. The testimony of tone contradicts that of Mayella.
5. Tom claims that Mayella held him inside the house, saying that he saved money so that the children could leave and leave them alone.
Explanation:
Tom's testimony is a tense moment in history. Firstly, because we can see Tom's nervousness and his concern in reporting what actually happened in a convincing way. Tom is sincere and narrates all the contact he had with Mayella and these interactions between them, he reinforces his own innocence and even if he shows information that contradicts Mayella's he is not absolved of the accusations.
Answer:
to illustrate how much Alfonso cares about outward appearances
Explanation:
Soto most likely described Alfonso's attention to his bike and his teeth at the same time to show that he cared too much about outward appearances.
From the excerpt, Alfonso is described as balancing his bike on the handlebars and seat and cleaning the spokes with a sock and at the same time, he pressed a knuckle to his teeth until it tingled which shows that he cared about the appearance of his bike and teeth. Alfonso shows great attention to detail in both cases because he likely cares about his outward appearance.
