Answer: PART B: Which TWO of the following quotes best support the answer to Part A? A. “Nicholas II, by contrast, was one of history’s most dismal examples of the wrong man, at the wrong time, and in the wrong place. His reign seemed to be almost predetermined to end in a momentous tragedy.” (Paragraph 6) B. “They had ruled Russia for more than 280 years, and most of their subjects—as the czar’s German-born wife, Alexandra, wrote to British Queen Victoria —practically worshipped them “as divine beings.” (Paragraph 9) C. “What the last Romanov did not have was an understanding and respect for the dirt-poor and frequently hungry peasants who eked out a meager living, and it was part of Nicholas’ misfortune that his abysmal insensitivity and weakness were revealed on the very day after his coronation.” (Paragraph 12) D. “In February 1904—less than four months later—Japan launched a surprise attack that destroyed a Russian fleet and threatened to seize Port Arthur, Russia’s only warm-water port. In the war that followed, the Japanese army decisively won every battle…” (Paragraph 24) E. “Nicholas also showed a puzzling disregard for a major uproar in his own court over the growing influence of a mystical faith healer named Grigori Rasputin.” (Paragraph 27) F. “After the control over the country shifted from a provisional government to Lenin’s radicals (the Bolsheviks), the royal couple, their son and four daughters, and the ex-czar’s personal physician and three servants were moved to a house in Yekaterinburg, a town beyond the Urals.” (Paragraph 30)
The right answer is:
The aspect of this passage which most creates suspense in the reader?
A. The use of figurative language
<em>Explanation:</em>
<em>In order for suspense to work in The Tell-Tale Heart by Allan Poe, this story needs figurative language. The vulture eye which terrifies and haunts the narrator builds suspense until it comes to a conclusion. </em>
<em>“It was open --wide, wide open --and I grew furious as I gazed upon it. I saw it with perfect distinctness, all a dull blue, with a hideous veil over it that chilled the very marrow in my bones...</em>
<em>but I could see nothing else of the old man's face or person: for I had directed the ray as if by instinct, precisely upon the spot.” </em>
<em>This language is giving little away to tease the reader. Edgar Allan Poe uses figurative language to develop an inventive story that averts a certain outcome with lots of suspense.</em>

Answer:
It was a beautiful day lemonade so sweet, probably not good for your teeth. The sun was shining, just a little bit of mist on the other side of the wall. As I'm lying down relaxing with the warm sun on my skin until a shrill cry echoed in the fog, I was only 15 at the time. I had no idea what I was about to get myself into.
As I stand up, I feel the cold mist breathe across my skin. Suddenly It's dark in the blink of an eye, everyone and everything was gone. The warm sun turned cold, everything around me was depressing. A little bit of sunlight still left, I see chase and Anika running after a faint shadow I assume is Marilyn. Left in the dust with nothing but fear, I start yelling at them to wait up. Filled with questions I run as fast as my feet can carry me up to them.
I see them climb over the wall, Hesitant at first I look back, then lookup. As I make my way up the wall, climbing on vines. I can't think of anything. I'm just climbing, thoughtlessly climbing up a wall I had no idea what was over. As I get to the top I hear Chase start yelling my name, as I look over the wall I'm frozen with fear. I see something unbelievable.
(I hope this helps, feel free to change anything!)
