Hunger stole upon me so slowly that at first I was not aware of what hunger really meant. Hunger had always been more or less at

my elbow when I played, but now I began to wake up at night to find hunger standing at my bedside, staring at me gauntly. The hunger I had known before this had been no grim, hostile stranger; it had been a normal hunger that had made me beg constantly for bread, and when I ate a crust or two I was satisfied. But this new hunger baffled me, scared me, and made me angry and insistent. Whenever I begged for food now my mother would pour me a cup of tea which would still the clamor in my stomach for a moment or two; but a little later I would feel hunger nudging my ribs, twisting my empty guts till they ached. I would grow dizzy and my vision would dim. I became less active in my play, and for the first time in my life I had to pause and think of what was happening to me.

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

"Grasped" shows the neighbor's primitive qualities; he is like an "old-stone savage armed" because he cannot conceive (or grasp, here used ironically) of thinking beyond what his father taught him: that fences make good neighbors. So, grasp really is both ironic (he can grasp the rock, but not the idea that maybe a fence isn't  necessary here) and showing the primitive grasping of the rock as if it were a weapon.

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

She ascended the stair case with her face guarded by her dark hood. The glare of light illuminated the burn on the side of her face, the large blemish covering most of her cheek and part of her right eye.

She had the demeanor that brought suspicion from wandering eyes around the library.The events of earlier that day flashed across her memory in chronological order. Starting from the moment it all began to the moment it ended. It started as domestic abuse but slowly and gradually turned into something more. She should have never let it go that far.

Eh? Good or No?
