Read this passage from a wrinkle in time by madeleine l'engle. then, answer the question(s).

"meg, is something troubling you? are you unhappy at home? " mr. jenkins asked.

at last meg looked at him, pushing at her glasses in a characteristic gesture. "everything's fine at home."

"i'm glad to hear it. but i know it must be hard on you to have your father away."

meg eyed the principal warily, and ran her tongue over the barbed line of her braces.

"have you had any news from him lately? "

meg was sure it was not only imagination that made her feel that behind mr. jenkins's surface concern was a gleam of avid curiosity. wouldn't he like to know! she thought. and if i knew anything, he's the last person i'd tell. well, one of the last.



mr. jenkins waited for an answer, but meg only shrugged.

"just what was your father's line of business? " mr. jenkins asked. "some kind of scientist, wasn't he? "

"he is a physicist." meg bared her teeth to reveal the two ferocious lines of braces.

"meg, don't you think you'd make a better adjustment to life if you faced facts? "

"i do face facts," meg said. "they're lots easier to face than people, i can tell you."

"then why don't you face facts about your father? "

"you leave my father out of it! " meg shouted.
from what point of view is this passage told?

a. first person, told by meg

Read the excerpt from chapter 18 in frankenstein. alas! to me the idea of an immediate union with my elizabeth was one of horror and dismay. i was bound by a solemn promise which i had not yet fulfilled and dared not break, or if i did, what manifold miseries might not impend over me and my devoted family! could i enter into a festival with this deadly weight yet hanging round my neck and bowing me to the ground? i must perform my engagement and let the monster depart with his mate before i allowed myself to enjoy the delight of a union from which i expected peace. examine this excerpt to analyze the way the author’s choice of words adds to the meaning and impacts the tone of this portion of frankenstein. what does victor mean when he talks about “this deadly weight yet hanging round my neck and bowing me to the ground”? how do these words affect the tone at this point in the story? use examples and evidence from the text to support your analysis. frankenstein chapter 18
