In the first murder, he poisons the victim. On the second attempt, he tries to send a bomb to the victim.
We can arrive at this answer because:
- Lord Arthur receives a prophecy that he will be an assassin.
- He is engaged and eager for marriage, but he is afraid to marry without having completed his destiny and therefore decides to become a murderer as soon as possible.
- So he tries to poison his aunt and send dynamite to a university dean.
- Both attempts fail and he is unable to murder either victim.
With this, we can see the theme that we should not try to manipulate fate, we should just wait for it to happen at the right time.

Answer and Explanation:
The paragraph to which this question refers is the following:
<em>He admitted, however, although with hesitation, that much of the peculiar gloom which thus afflicted him could be traced to a more natural and far more palpable origin—to the severe and long-continued illness—indeed to the evidently approaching dissolution—of a tenderly beloved sister, his sole companion for long years, his last and only relative on earth...</em>
<u>Even though what we have here is indirect speech - the narrator retelling Usher's words -, the author made sure to represent the way in which Usher himself was speaking. He was telling the narrator about his mental state and about a condition he believes he possesses (extreme sensory acuteness, according to him). </u><u>However, once Usher begins to reveal that this condition of his is related to his sister's disease and death, he seems to go out of breath. He interrupts himself, adding details in a hurried way, which is represented by the phrases enclosed by the dashes. Therefore, we can say the author structures these sentence in this way to show Usher's shortness of breath and rushed speech.</u>
I wrote an essay on this. I said that the human rights issues in this book was lack of education and health care, and unfair pay. Lennie seemed to be lacking academically and there were cases where Lennie was hurt but was not taken care of while Curly was hurt but did get medical help. Also the pay is unfair because there is a very clear difference between the well-being of the workers vs the owners of the ranch.
Hope this helped, good luck! :D
