The street was jammed with masked and costumed children making a deafening din with their penny tin horns. some kids were too poor to buy a penny mask. they had blackened their faces with burnt cork. other children with more prosperous parents had store costumes: sleazy indian suits, cowboy suits and cheesecloth dutch maiden dresses. a few indifferent ones simply draped a dirty sheet over themselves and called it a costume. what do the phrases “sleazy indian suits,” “cowboy suits,” and “cheesecloth dutch maiden dresses” reveal about the setting? it reveals the cultural context by discussing popular culture. it reveals the time and place of the passage. it reveals the theme by showing the value of the penny. it reveals the syntax of small-town life.

In this excerpt from "dover beach" by matthew arnold, which two lines or sets of lines suggest that the speaker has undergone a loss of faith? the sea of faith was once, too, at the full, and round earth's shore lay like the folds of a bright girdle furled. but now i only hear its melancholy, long, withdrawing roar, retreating, to the breath of the night-wind, down the vast edges drear and naked shingles of the world. ah, love, let us be true to one another! for the world, which seems to lie before us like a land of dreams, so various, so beautiful, so new, hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light, nor certitude, nor peace, nor for pain; and we are here as on a darkling plain swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight, where ignorant armies clash by night.
