Answer:

The feeling the author creates by ending the story with this question is: eeriness and uneasiness.

Explanation:

In "Nighttime in Texas," the neighborhood where Carlos lives has been afflicted by a strange trend. Most of the residents have suddenly started sleepwalking. Dave, the main character, finds out about it when he travels to visit Carlos for spring break. However, he is revealed the fact in the most strange manner.

He arrives at Carlos' at around midnight, unaware of the curfew imposed by the police due to the strange happenings. Carlos does not seem to be home. Out of the blue, <u>Patricia appears. She seems friendly and kind at first, and she is the one who tells Dave about it all. All of a sudden, Carlos also appears, driving his car and claiming he had had a flat tire and so on. He then says he and Patricia are in love - it is worth noticing that Patricia is in her nightgown and slippers. Right before Carlos showed up, once he had heard the story, Dave was already scared</u>:

<em>“Pretty weird, right?” Patricia said. Dave took a moment to form a response.“Yeah, yeah,” he finally managed. “I mean, that’s really crazy. I’ve never heard of anything like that!” After a pause, he continued, “So do you think Carlos—I mean, do you think he’s one of the . . . afflicted?” </em>

<u>Now that his friend has appeared and confirmed the whole thing, asking him the eerie question "You're not scared of the dark, are you?", Dave most likely feels even more afraid. If Patricia wasn't lying, are they both sleepwalking now? If they are - and if they are able to act as if they are not -, what are they capable of doing? Do they hurt people? Can they hurt Dave? Will Dave begin to sleepwalk as well? The final question leaves us feeling uneasy .</u>

Nothing seems to work better in English than the theater
Greeley [361]
In Shakespeare's time, a stage wasn't just one type of space; plays had to be versatile. The same play might be produced in an outdoor playhouse, an indoor theater, a royal palace—or, for a company on tour, the courtyard of an inn.

Is it good to compare yourself to others give me a paragraph if you can
Veseljchak [2.6K]

No.Its not good to compare yourself to others because your gonna see everything that looks good to them and then look down on yourself. Youll wanna be just like them and your gonna start to loose your self esteem if you cant look exactly like them.So its really bad to compare yourself to others.Your unique in your own way.I suggest giving yourself compliments like..Liking yourself for who you are. <3

Which revision correctly uses a subordinating conjunction to combine the sentences
nevsk [136]
If you had a given sentence:

"James could not eat because he was feeling ill." 

"Because" is acting as a subordinating conjunction. A subordinating conjunctions will combine two independent clauses into one sentence, making it a complex sentence.
