What is the conflict in the story excerpt above? A. A man struggles against waking up and tries to fall back sleep. B. A man is

terrified by a servant who comes in during the night. C. A man oversleeps and is very late getting himself to work. D. A man cannot wake himself up from a terrifying nightmare.
A man awakened in a third-story bedroom in a lodging-house in a poor street in London, and as his consciousness returned to him, its slow and reluctant movings confronted the second point of view—marked by enormous differences. He had not slept two consecutive hours through the night, and when he had slept he had been tormented by dreary dreams, which were more full of misery because of their elusive vagueness, which kept his tortured brain on a wearying strain of effort to reach some definite understanding of them. Yet when he awakened, the consciousness of being again alive was an awful thing. If the dreams could have faded into blankness and all have passed with the passing of the night, how he could have thanked whatever gods there be! Only not to awake—only not to awake! But he had awakened.
The clock struck nine as he did, so consequently, he knew the hour. The lodging-house servant had aroused him by coming to light the fire. She had set her candle on the hearth and done her work as stealthily as possible, but he had been disturbed, though he had made a desperate effort to struggle back into sleep. That was no use—no use. He was awake and he was in the midst of it all again. Without the sense of luxurious comfort, he opened his eyes and turned upon his back, throwing out his arms flatly, so that he lay as in the form of a cross, in heavy weariness and anguish. For months he had awakened each morning after such a night and had so lain like a crucified thing.

A; it mentions in the second sentence that he hadn't slept two consecutive hours due to dreams. He kept trying to get back to sleep near the end of the story, so that would be the main conflict.

  • An American Realist

American Realism is a genre of writing that depicts life evens exactly as they are. The author uses very vivid pictures to illustrate events.

It is different from American Romanticism that clouds the true nature of events and focuses on mysteries. Romanticism also focuses on imagination and sensation.

The use of adjectives like pale, a sky that was faint, etc, paints events as they really are.

Which of the following would not be considered a precursor to the modern novel
Natali5045456 [20]
Well think about it for a second.

Beowulf, The Iliad, and Oedipus are all old novels/poems.

Lord Jim on the other hand was written in the 1900's. Way after the former three were written. So Lord Jim would be your answer.

Hope that helps!
