By paragraph 12, we do not know much about the first old woman except that she has a "terrible, square smile". When the narrator describes the woman's
"hand, quick as a claw, reach up in the air and pluck the white cap off [Marian's]
head", and "At the same time, another claw to match drew her all the way into the
room". Given the word choice here, how does the author want US as the reader
to feel about the old woman?
Your answer
This is a required question

I would think that the author,from your question,intends to present the old woman as having wicked intentions for the character,Marian.

Explanation:

The description of her feature makes her seem ominous and evil ,more specifically, the phrases "terrible, square smile" and "hand, quick as a claw".

the support that the author, uses in the article facing our fears is a): a definition of the part of the brain called the amygdala.

he takes neuroscientist joseph ledoux's words by telling that by falling to distinguish between evolutionary old systems located in the amygdala and newer systems, centered in the prefrontal cortex, doctors have conflated non conscious threat circuits in the brain with circuits that underlie the conscious experience of fear. that, the author says, "leads ledoux to the jarring conclusion that the amygdala, a decades-old centerpiece of the brain's fear circuit, does not underlie the conscious feeling of fear".

despite this, the author points out in the article that that is a controversial notion and that evidence, in animal and humans, supports the idea that core emotions can exist outside of conscious awareness.
