The sentence from Mark Twain's "The Adventures from Tom Sawyer" (1876) that shows the storm as a symbol of Tom's conscience in chapter 22 is "He believed he had taxed the forbearance of the powers above to the extremity of endurance and that this was the result."

Tom Sawyer has a guilty conscience because he had witnessed the murder of Dr. Robinson, he was tempted by chewing tobacco and profanitythough he had tried to give them up; and a revival had come to won, so religion was everywhere. All these factors contribute to accentuate his guilty conscience and when the storm strikes, he thinks that it is a divine punishment for his deeds.

The part where it talks about Tom believing the storm hit to insinuate that God’s wrath was directed at him, is where we see that the storm represents Tom’s conscience. Hope this helps.

Explain why this quote is meaningful.
Art [367]

"Ralph wept for the end of innocence, the darkness of man's heart, and the fall through the air of the true, wise friend called Piggy."

I'd say this quote is meaningful in a sense that Ralph wanted to bring an end to innocence and the darkness that dwells in one's heart. "and the fall through the air of the true, wise friend called Piggy." I think this line means that he also wanted true and honest people to fall, being call "wise friend called piggy" I think means that when he is "wise" this isn't meant to be taken seriously. This is a sarcastic wkrd to describe him, for he is in fact not wise, because he wants to basically bring the end to all good that would come to man. I also chose (C) Connect because I have connected the meaning of the quote to the reader.

Exposition

Explanation:

In these lines, we see an example of exposition. Exposition is the part of a text in which the author presents background information that the reader needs to know before reading the story. Exposition, therefore, is the first section of a text. In this case, the background information that readers need to know is that the setting has recently experienced a very destructive war. The character can remember the period before the war, and how the city was transformed.
