What event sets the main action of the story in motion in ruthless

C. The theft of some of Judson's liquor

Explanation:

Below is an excerpt that revealed how satisfied Judson was to carry out the act:

"Ruthless" is a story written by American writer, William DeMille. He was most well-known for screenwriting and film directing.

"He corked his bottled vengeance and set it back on the shelf alongside the little whiskey glass.“Everything nice and handy,” he remarked approvingly. “Now, Mr. Thief, when you break in, drink heartily; I won’t begrudge you this one.”When Judson came into the closet where he kept his ammunition, fishing rod, and liquor, he noticed that a bottle of whiskey was half full and a glass cup beside it. He knew that someone stole his liquor. In order to punish the thief, he decided to poison the liquor when they were about going for winter but his wife, Mabel kicked against the act.  In "Ruthless", the theme of the story is simply revenge which is developed through Judson's character.

analyzing characters

respond to the following questions in one paragraph for each. use specific examples from the text to support your responses.

1. there is a set of twins on the island named sam and eric. however, when describing them, golding regularly refers to them as samneric. how does this way of describing the twins relate to their behavior and the way that readers understand their characters? what examples of their behavior readers see that samneric is really the appropriate way to refer to them?

2. as the boys set out to search for the beast, ralph allows jack to lead the way, and he sinks to the back of the pack, " to have escaped responsibility for a time." what does this moment lead you to infer about ralph and about his feelings about being the group’s leader? what does this moment foreshadow?

3. while part of the party searching for the beast, simon realizes that the notion of the beast that the other boys have does not make sense. a beast sitting atop a mountain with claws, a beast who did not leave tracks, could have easily caught the twins. simon has a different picture of the beast: "there rose before his inward sight the picture of a human at once heroic and sick." how does this picture relate to the beast that samneric saw? how does it relate to what simon said earlier about the beast being "only us"?
