Answer:
Marie Antoinette was most known for her four words, "Let them eat cake." After finding that the peasants lacked food, some believe Marie Antoinette responded, "Let them Eat Cake." Despite the fact that historians claim there is no proof that Marie Antoinette ever spoke the words "let them eat cake," this phrase has always been remembered as one of the most renowned in French history. Brioche, a French pastry, is more costly than bread since it is prepared from dough enriched with eggs and butter. When notified that her French citizens lacked bread about 1789, Marie-Antoinette replied, "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche," which means, "Let them eat cake." This quotation is said to have been spoken during one of the famines that struck France during her husband's reign, Louis XVI.She was the fourteenth daughter of Holy Roman Emperor Francis I and Empress Maria Theresa. Marie was born in Vienna, Austria, on November 2, 1755. Marie Antoinette was despised by the French since she was not a native of the country (Detroit, Gale 1998). Marie's siblings were all given the name Maria Theresa after their mother. Maria Antonia Joephine was Marie Antoinette's name throughout her childhood (lotz, Nancy 2005).

The comparisons will be like following:
a. Zeena and Amanda are two women who overbear or overprotect their men, ethan and tom respectively. These two women make their lives unsuccessful and try to "kill" their dreams
b. Both Ethan and Tom are alike in the sense that both feel trapped and they want to flee from their bad situations regarding women: Ethan with his wife Zeena and Tom with his mom and sister
c. Both works have the same subject: A man who is controlled by a woman and he desires to flee from it with a posible person or situation that can help them get free. So the subject may be how people quit their dreams quickly for someone who is not going to make them happy.
Answer:
Uncertain
Explanation:
You can see the narrator not very sure of things. He reminds himself that the smell of dirt was not to be feared, but since he needs to remind himself, we do sense that the narrator does fear the smell. This: "loathed these errands and doubted my ability to discern a peach from a pear in the dim light" is another sentence that shows uncertainty. In the end, some shadow that can't clearly be discerned is more more thing that contributes to the tone.
