The speaker envisions a time when everyone will receive equal amounts of work and leisure.

 For the responder, Countee Cullen’s “From the Dark Tower” excerpted text describes the statement closely to “the speaker envisions a time when everyone will receive equal amounts of work and leisure”. Since the author speaks figuratively of inequality between amount of workload and leisure, he sought for an upbringing, a revolutionary vision that everyone should receive an equal distribution concerning income and not all the work should be done by the less fortunate people but all should have their own fair share of undertakings to face.

The two ways in which the dramatic tensions are expressed in the way of humor and suspense

In considering the trail scene most of the trail scene is suspenseful and it was the scene that people have been waiting for so long. The mood is very suspenseful and tensed about the testimony of the crime scene. When the trail continues for a long time it is very difficult to maintain the suspenseful mood.

They are in the edge of Heck Tate and Mayella testimony and finally it was Toms. The response of Tom in the court room was full of humor and it brought a sense of humor among the readers
