1. In the beginning of the story, when the room where the elderly ladies live is being described with similes and other figurative language, do things seem to be moving slowly or quickly?
Explain your answer.

dramatic irony occurs when the reader/audience knows more about a character's situation than the character does. the one main effect is that it gives the reader a sense of superiority, or detached superiority. the reader not only seemingly discovers what is revealed, but feels superior for doing so.

answer:

a. "there, said he, there is something for you."

explanation:

"said he" should not have been part of what is in the dialogue.

harry says he would trade a gold mine for a glass of water.
