"[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.

Extemporaneous speech about no school uniform policy
Alja [10]

Answer:

Please do not copy but revise what i wrote for your speech. Thank you!

Explanation:

Uniforms. The definition for uniform is the distinctive clothing worn by members of the same organization or body or by children attending certain schools. But the meaning of uniform back then is not the same as now. Because modern fashion trends tend to expose more skin or more body somebody might think someone is asking for it. An amazing example is young girls between the ages of 11-16 years old. Those ages tend to follow in other people's footsteps and essentially want to be the IT girl. That means that if the IT girl right now is wearing ripped jeans, they will too. Young boys are going through puberty the same time young girls are. Young girls will develop breast and will start their menstrual cycle. Boys will grow hair on their body and their body will start changing too. Their voice will change and they will be going through a hormonal struggle. when Girls will experiment fashion they might show their skin a little a bit more and that might turn a boy on. Dress code does the same thing as uniforms. It was made so young boys can focus and girl will have to cover up their legs, arms, stomach, and their shoulders. Since when does a boy ever say "shoulders, That's so hot" Never. Uniforms were made for boys to focus and so that girls will be uncomfortable knowing boys might have fantasies about them. Uniforms might be to stop boys from getting distracted or may have been their from the get-go since their school was built. Uniforms have no good reasoning but to help boys focus and make girl cover up.

You have done that you should be sorry for. There is no terror, Cassius, in your threats, For I am arm'd so strong in honesty Th
Leviafan [203]

Hello. Although you have presented the text you have not asked the question to which this text is associated. Therefore, I will explain to you what is happening in this text and I hope that this can help you to answer your question.

This text is an excerpt from the play "Julio Cesar" written by Shakespeare. This passage is spoken by Brutus when he feels indignant that Cassius refused to lend him gold, so that he would be able to pay the members of his army. Brutus believes that Cassius is being selfish, as he has a lot of gold and lending a little would not be missed, especially to such a close friend. In this same excerpt, Brutus shows regret for having trusted Cassius' friendship and states that if the situation happened to the contrary he would never deny gold to a friend and would expect him to get gold through criminal or unethical practices such as exploiting peasants, such as Cassius told him to do it.
