"[T]here is a secret about one of my rooms on which I feel disposed to try an experiment. So, gentlemen, none of you shall know

who has the haunted chamber, until circumstances reveal it. I will not even know it myself, but will leave it to chance and the allotment of the housekeeper. At the same time, if it will be any satisfaction to you, I will observe, for the honor of my paternal mansion, that there’s scarcely a chamber in it but is well worthy of being haunted."

Answer:

The setting details are omitted from the plot of the story.

Explanation:

Washington Irving's "The Mysterious Picture" is part of his "Tales of a Traveler" in which the protagonist details his encounters while traveling. The particular short story is about him and the mysterious picture that hangs in his room for the night.

This gothic story delves into suspense where the narrator ends up having to spend the night in the room with the mysterious picture. And from the particular passage, the owner of the house reveals the way to ensure who is the most heroic gentleman among his guests. And while revealing his plan for the night, the author fails or did not reveal the setting details of the mansion or chambers of the scene where the men are to stay for the night.

Thus, Irving builds up suspense by omitting the setting details of the story.

What is the main characteristic of narrative writing?
Len [333]

Answer:

B it tells a story

Explanation:

What is the difference between 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears' and a newspaper article on bear attack statistics? Both are about human interaction with bears, but the difference is the first is a made-up story about a girl meeting some bears, while the second is reporting on facts about bears. A story has many obvious differences from a statistical report. 'Goldilocks' is an example of narrative writing, which is any kind of writing that tells a story.

Usually, narrative writing is categorized as fiction, which is based on imaginative events or stories that did not actually happen. The other category of writing is known as nonfiction, which would be writing that is based on real facts. This usually consists of newspapers, essays, reports, and other informative writing. However, some nonfiction can in fact tell a story, which would classify it as narrative writing. In the case of nonfiction, the story must be a true story with real people and events. Autobiographies and biographies are examples of nonfiction that is narrative writing, as they tell the real story of a person's life.

Hope this helps!

What can a reader determine from details in the sentences? Ellis Island welcomed many new immigrants to the United States. Many
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Ellis Island welcomed many new immigrants to the United States.

Explanation:

Ellis Island is an island in the Port of New York and New Jersey at the mouth of the Hudson River. During the late 1800s and early 1900s, the port on the island was the arrival point for many of the immigrants who came to the United States. Individuals with chronic illnesses or who showed signs of fatal illness were denied entry and were allowed to return. Many of these immigrants settled during their first years in New York and northern New Jersey. The port was opened January 1, 1892 and closed November 29, 1954. Over the years, 12 million immigrants passed the port, but 2% were not allowed to enter the United States and were sent home.  

The island got its name after a Samuel Ellis, who owned the island in the 1770s. However, it came into state ownership in the early 1800s.
