Answer the following questions about the director’s choices in adapting “Stranded” into a staged performance. Select Yes or No. The sweltering afternoon sun beat down mercilessly upon the road, browning their faces and the sad, parched grasses along the roadside. Steve’s boots crunched heavily along the gravel shoulder. With each step, the noise rankled slightly more. Ramon wiped a trickle of sweat from his temple and shifted the cat carrier to his right hand. (Its occupant made a single vocal protest.)

“And why,” he huffed testily, “is it my job to carry your cat?”

A few steps behind, Steve rolled his eyes and groaned. “Oh for the love of Pete! Fine, give her to me.” Ramon thrust the carrier into his hands. Steve peeked inside, clucking his tongue at the cat. “Ramon is so grumpy, isn’t he, kitty? He acts like this is all our fault.”

“Because it is all your fault!” Ramon burst out, and launched into a tirade about every step of their miserable journey. How Steve had left the car unlocked, and how the car had been stolen. How the cab driver had refused to take the cat along, and how Steve had forgotten to charge his phone, and so now they were walking all the way home . . . .

“And the heat,” Steve interrupted sarcastically, “don’t forget, it’s my fault that it’s hot out, too.” Ramon fell silent a moment, then sighed heavily—really, more of a growl than a sigh.

“You’re right, I apologize,” he mumbled. “And hey, at least you knew the right road to get us back home.”

“Yeah,” Steve said in a wavering voice, “I mean, probably . . . . This is almost probably definitely the right road.” He braced himself for another onslaught, but Ramon just laughed.

“Well it goes somewhere, anyway. Roads always do go somewhere.”

A. The end of the staged scene changes the story's resolution. (Yes or No)
B. The changes to the setting change the story’s meaning. (Yes or No)
C. The changes made to the characters affect the scene's meaning. (Yes or No)
D. Adding dialogue to the scene helps the director develop both Steve and Alyce further. (Yes or No)
E. The staged scene’s conflict is faithful to the original. (Yes or No)

Which excerpt from "the cask of amontillado" best infers what will be fortunato's downfall? the gait of my friend was unsteady, and the bells upon his cap jingled as he strode he had a weak point --this fortunato --although in other regards he was a man to be respected and even feared. he prided himself on his connoisseurship in wine. "nitre," i replied. "how long have you had that cough? " "my friend, no; i will not impose upon your good nature. i perceive you have an engagement. luchresi--" which of the excerpts below is an example of foreshadowing? how remarkably well you are looking to-day. but i have received a pipe of what passes for amontillado… "i have my doubts," i replied; "and i was silly enough to pay the full amontillado price without consulting you in the matter. there were no attendants at home; they had absconded to make merry in honour of the time. i had told them that i should not return until the morning, and had given them explicit orders not to stir from the house. i broke and reached him a flagon of de grave. he emptied it at a breath. his eyes flashed with a fierce light. he laughed and threw the bottle upwards with a gesticulation i did not understand. which excerpt from "the cask of amontillado" best summarizes the overall theme of the story?

What type of writing is demonstrated in this excerpt by general philip henry sheridan? at once i set about preparing for the examination which precedes admission to the military academy, studying zealously under the direction of mr. william clark; my old teachers, mcnanly and thorn, having disappeared from somerset and sought new fields of usefulness. the intervening months passed rapidly away, and i fear that i did not make much progress, yet i thought i should be able to pass the preliminary examination. that which was to follow worried me more and gave me many sleepless nights; but these would have been less in number, i fully believe, had it not been for one specification of my, outfit which the circular that accompanied my appointment demanded. this requirement was a pair of "monroe shoes." now, out in ohio, what "monroe shoes" were was a mystery—not a shoemaker in my section having so much as an inkling of the construction of the perplexing things, until finally my eldest brother brought an idea of them from baltimore, when it was found that they were a familiar pattern under another name. a. research essay b. persuasive essay c. biography d. memoir
