The expression was that of agony—the agony of intense bodily pain; but a menace scowled upon the brow, and a few sprinklings of

blood added to its ghastliness. Yet it was not all these characteristics—it was some horror of the mind, some inscrutable antipathy awakened by this picture, which harrowed up my feelings.

What technique does Irving use to build suspense in the excerpt?

1The pace of the story quickens.

2The word choice darkens the tone.

3Odd characters are introduced.

4The setting details are intentionally omitted.

Answer:

2. The word choice darkens the tone.

Explanation:

According to the excerpt by Irving, he describes a horrific scene, where there is agony, extreme bodily pain, along with blood to make the scene more ghastly and he also talks about the most horrific thing being a "horror of the mind"

The technique that Irving uses to build suspense in the excerpt is his use of words that darken the tone as it never explains the cause of the pain but vividly describes it.

The sort of search you need to conduct is official research investigation and direct sources of information like federal statistics and non-goverment organizations groups data.

The keywords that might help in the search would be "mental health issues and homeless", "homeless addictions", and "substance disorders and homeless".

Some research has found that is a direct connection between homelesness and substance use disorders.

It is not responsible to call homeless drug addicts, because beyond what you see there could be a life of pain and suffering.

Research states that homelessness is not a permanent condition but a temporary circumstance that should not define poeple's future.

But sometimes, the information that stems from the research indicates that there is a correlation between substance abuse and people becoming homeless.

6 negative things about Andrew Jackson
Yuri [45]

Answer:

In 1830, Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act, which he had worked to push through Congress. This act allowed him to negotiate removal treaties with Native American tribes, whom the Supreme Court had ruled were not allowed to legally own their ancestral lands. Jackson believed that the Native Americans were inferior to white settlers and wanted to force them west of the Mississippi. He believed that the United States would not expand past that boundary, so the Native Americans could govern themselves.

The major:

The major negative thing Andrew Jackson is remembered for is the forced relocation of many Native Americans, particularly in the southeastern portion of the United States. He also triggered an economic depression by refusing to renew the charter of the Second Bank of the United States and then instituting inflation-control policies that triggered a panic, but that was primarily blamed on his successor, Martin Van Buren.
