How was this vile nervous fit, for such I now persuaded myself it was, to be conquered? I determined to force myself not to look

at the painting but to undress quickly and get into bed. I began to undress, but in spite of every effort I could not keep myself from stealing a glance every now and then at the picture; and a glance was now sufficient to distress me. Even when my back was turned to it, the idea of this strange face behind me, peering over my shoulder, was insufferable. . . . I had grown nervous to a dismal degree.
–“The Adventure of the Mysterious Picture,”
Washington Irving

Answer:

The answer is indeed:

undressing uncomfortably

being unable to take his eyes away

being nervous

Explanation:

The suspenseful tone of this passage relies on the uneasy mood created by the author. The mood provokes an emotional response in readers and, in this case, it is set by the actions described. Even though the speaker wishes to not look at the picture, he is unable to do so. Readers can imagine him glancing at it as we glance at something we are afraid of; undressing uncomfortably as we do when we feel that someone is watching us; being nervous as if something is about to happen. All those actions contribute to a sense of suspense and uneasiness.

antoniya [11.8K]

<u>Answer</u>:

<u>The reference highlights President Eisenhower’s deep dislike of the governor and shows his willingness to remove him from office.</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Indeed, it reaffirms the reasons for the President's removal of Governor Faubus from office.

Remember, back in the 1950s during the racial discrimination crises, the Supreme Court made a unanimous decision to allow black students to attend the same school with the whites.

However, Governor Faubus went against the court ruling by directing that black students be prevented from coming to the Little Rock Central High School. An action that made Eisenhower dislike him.

Mashcka [7]

<u><em>Exploration of topic on race and gender by Kate Chopin and Anna Julia in "Desire Baby" and "The Higher Education of Women":</em></u>

Kate Choplin’s ‘Desiree’s baby’ revolves around a young woman Desiree who marries a young man after he offers a great deal of wealth. He considers her as his possession and also doubts her for his cursed fate of having a brown child.

However, the twisted end reveals that his mother was from the ‘brown’ lineage, yet his father loved them both no matter what unlike him. He discriminated his wife and child as he thought their ‘brown’ lineage would bring him shame and rejection.

‘The Higher Education of Women’ is an essay written by Anna Julia Cooper, which idealizes the concept of women education to improve the contributions to the society.

She puts forth the idea of providing educational rights to every woman, especially black woman, to increase the contribution to her race and the whole of humanity.
