Iwonder how it was done and who did it, and what they did it for. round and round and round—round and round and round—it makes me dizzy! i really have discovered something at last. through watching so much at night, when it changes so, i have finally found out. the front pattern does move—and no wonder! the woman behind shakes it! sometimes i think there are a great many women behind, and sometimes only one, and she crawls around fast, and her crawling shakes it all over. then in the very bright spots she keeps still, and in the very shady spots she just takes hold of the bars and shakes them hard. and she is all the time trying to climb through. which statement describes a gothic element in this excerpt that reflects a social attitude of gilman’s time?

Athief was passing by a house under construction when he noticed that the ladder being used by workers on the roof had copper braces supporting the rungs. after making sure that the workers on the roof could not see him, the thief used pliers that he had in his pocket to remove all of the copper braces that he could reach from the ground. a short time later, a worker climbed down the ladder and it collapsed. he fell to the ground and severely injured his back. the thief was apprehended a few hours later trying to sell the copper for scrap. a statute in the jurisdiction makes it a felony for "maliciously causing serious physical injury to another." the thief was charged with malicious injury under the statute and was also charged with larceny. after a jury trial in which the above facts were presented, he was convicted of both charges. if he appeals the conviction for the malicious injury charge on grounds of insufficient evidence, how should the court rule? a affirm the conviction, because the thief was engaged in criminal conduct at the time of the act that resulted in the injury. b affirm the conviction, because the jury could have found that the thief acted with malice. c reverse the conviction, because there was no evidence that the thief intended to injure anyone. d reverse the conviction, because there was no evidence that the thief bore any malice towards the workers on the roof.
