ng men are sleuth-hounds in pursuit of money”?
The West Riding men are sleuth-hounds in pursuit of money. Miss Brontë related to my husband a curious instance illustrative of this eager desire for riches. A man that she knew, who was a small manufacturer, had engaged in many local speculations, which had always turned out well, and thereby rendered him a person of some wealth.

Answer:

We would need to see the passage, but I suggest looking back in both stories and looking at each of the narrators writing styles, such as if it is first person, second person, etc: See if the narrator's have something in common in their writing styles, and then just use evidence from the text and a good way to do that is using ""

Explanation:

I hope this helps.

ANEK [815]

Answer:

Winik effectively uses the techniques of repetition and parallel structure in a line that dramatically charts Booth's mental descent. Find and write down the line.

The line is:

Still, there is no denying that for Booth, hate became preoccupation, preoccupation became fixation,  and fixation became fanaticism.

Explanation:

Repetition and parallel structure are both stylistic devices used to develop the story following the mood provided by the author to describe his or her ideas in their ultimate level. Now, Repetition is the stylistic device that establishes an order of equal importance to all the clauses provided by starting them with the same word or statement. A parallel structure is a stylistic device that uses the same pattern of words to provide the same level of importance to them. In our case, we can observe the pattern that establishes the relationships and the repeated words.
