The "audience" of a piece of literature

may be impossible to determine

may be a specific group of readers, such as young women

may be a consideration a writer chooses to eliminate

may be more important than the theme or tone

whats the passage

explanation:

you have no answers to choose

his tongue, i believe, was bloody and hanging out of his mouth.

he looked as if he were hungry.

he has several wolf-like qualities; a gray coat, sharp claws and yellow fangs.

those eyes made me feel, dear reader, like the end was near.

as i reached for a stick, he moved to the other side of the hill.

panting and hungry, he looked at me, a defenseless human and he snarled.

well i said my prayers, however, he simply turned and limped off.
