Dr. Henry Jekyll is a complicated character, though readers don't get a full picture of him until he explains his deeds and choices in the final chapter. Like all humans Henry Jekyll is, as he puts it, a "composite." His nature is both good and evil, civilized and primitive. Intrigued by this dual nature and wanting to experience the two separately, Jekyll finds a way to indulge his darker passions without it becoming known. Jekyll applies his knowledge of chemistry and invents a "tincture" that separates his good from his evil identity and even creates an entirely different body for each self. (Edward Hyde is his evil persona.) Above all Jekyll is almost classically arrogant. He believes he can reconstruct his own identity in order to break humanity's shared ethical rules and England's social norms, and without paying a price. Obviously he is wrong, and this novella is an account of his errors and how he pays for them.
Answer:
An in-text citation is placed in an essay like "Quote from book" (Nichols and Hernandez 126).

The excerpt from this story describes a scene that is dark and kind of depressing, huh? "Decayed inn", "dingy sign", the sign was "dark and indecipherable...black" and not exactly happy and bright.
Your first option suggests that this is a flashback to how the man died. There is no mention in this piece of how a person died or that this is a flashback.
While this excerpt certainly has a dark tone and feel, there doesn't seem to be much humor in it.
The mood of this story certainly feels dark and gloomy. The description of the inn, sky, and background can give the reader a mental image of a someplace that isn't really friendly or inviting.
The final option suggests mistrust or difficulties that characters are having. This paragraph does not mention the feelings of characters, but more focuses on the setting.
The best option for this question would be the third one, to reinforce the dark and somber mood of the story.
Answer:
I here the wind howling
I fear the cold
for all the dogs growling
do what your told
Listening up close
it sounds so far away
a tickle on my noes
but what is it I can't say
We have our regrets
and what we're proud of too
and all our forgets
what should I do?
all of the these thoughts
stuck in my brain
what we were all taught
we're all insane
The end is near
this poem and life
for what we all fear
and all our beliefs
It's not B. It doesn't have quotation marks.
Not C because the first word in the quotations needs to be capitalized.
Not D because the quotation need to surround the statement.
So your answer is A :)
Hope this helped :)
