Answer:
- He found, as he often told my sister, broken horse-shoes (a "bad sign"), met cross-eyed women, another "bad sign," was pursued apparently by the inimical number thirteen—and all these little straws depressed him horribly.
- One day on coming back home he found one of his hats lying on his bed, accidentally put there by one of the children, and according to my sister, who was present at the time, he was all but petrified by the sight of it. To him it was the death-sign.
Explanation:
The two sentences listed above characterize Paul as a superstitious person. A superstitious person is a person who strongly believes in irrational things (for example, a belief in magic). Common superstitions include:
- if you break a mirror, you will have bad luck for seven years
- if a black cat crosses your path, bad luck awaits you
- if you open an umbrella inside your house, you will have bad luck, etc.
Paul, in these sentences, is presented as someone who believes that broken-horse shoes, cross-eyed woman, number thirteen, or his hat on the bed announce that bad things will happen. All of these examples suggest that Paul is a superstitious person.
Answer:
I don't think they would.
Explanation:
Say that the newspapers are in America. The newspapers would be unlikely to write about a rebellion in, say, Japan if it has nothing to do with America. Newspapers only report the news if it has something to do with America. You know those people who buy a newspaper everyday to read? Do you think they're going to waste their money buying a newspaper in America that talks about a rebellion in Japan? Those people don't care about what happens in Japan, because the rebellions don't effect them.
Of course, there are exceptions, like if those people had a relative living in Japan. However, I'm talking about the majority of people who buy newspapers. They want to know what's going on in America, not something that's happening in some other country they don't care about.
If the newspapers wrote about it, their sales would go down and they would lose money.
Unless the rebellion is related to America in some way, I don't think newspapers would write about it since they might lose money, writing about things irrelevant to America.

As you know, the main characteristic of climax is that it is the most emotional part of a story that provides a lot of interest and suspense to a reader. The death of signalman is the highest point of emotional intensity of the plot as the loved protagonist unexpectedly (or undesirably) passes away and put an end to the story.
