Which parts of this passage from chapter 6 of emily brontë's wuthering heights refer to heathcliff being different from the other characters in the story? they really did howl out something in that way. we made frightful noises to terrify them still more, and then we dropped off the ledge, because somebody was drawing the bars, and we felt we had better flee. i had cathy by the hand, and was urging her on, when all at once she fell down. "run, heathcliff, run! " she whispered. "they have let the bull-dog loose, and he holds me! " the devil had seized her ankle, nelly: i heard his abominable snorting. she did not yell out—no! she would have scorned to do it, if she had been spitted on the horns of a mad cow. i did, though: i vociferated curses enough to annihilate any fiend in christendom; and i got a stone and thrust it between his jaws, and tried with all my might to cram it down his throat. a beast of a servant came up with a lantern, at last, shouting—"keep fast, skulker, keep fast! " he changed his note, however, when he saw skulker’s game. the dog was throttled off; his huge, purple tongue hanging half a foot out of his mouth, and his pendent lips streaming with bloody slaver. the man took cathy up; she was sick: not from fear, i’m certain, but from pain. he carried her in; i followed, grumbling execrations and vengeance. "what prey, robert? " hallooed linton from the entrance. "skulker has caught a little girl, sir," he replied; "and there’s a lad here," he added, making a clutch at me, "who looks an out-and-outer! very like the robbers were for putting them through the window to open the doors to the gang after all were asleep, that they might murder us at their ease. hold your tongue, you foul-mouthed thief, you! you shall go to the gallows for this. mr. linton, sir, don’t lay by your gun." "no, no, robert," said the old fool. "the rascals knew that yesterday was my rent-day: they thought to have me cleverly. come in; i’ll furnish them a reception. there, john, fasten the chain. give skulker some water, jenny. to beard a magistrate in his stronghold, and on the sabbath, too! where will their insolence stop? oh, my dear mary, look here! don’t be afraid, it is but a boy—yet the villain scowls so plainly in his face; would it not be a kindness to the country to hang him at once, before he shows his nature in acts as well as features? " he pulled me under the chandelier, and mrs. linton placed her spectacles on her nose and raised her hands in horror. the cowardly children crept nearer also, isabella lisping—"frightful thing! put him in the cellar, papa. he’s exactly like the son of the fortune-teller that stole my tame pheasant."

Read the excerpt from the land. in the late afternoon i did the same, but all the time i was on the stallion, i was aware that mitchell was watching me. he had appeared on the edge of the woods and had just stood there watching ghost wind and me as we went round and round the meadow. finally, on one of our turns past him, he said: "s'pose you thinkin' you a real somebody 'cause you can ride that stallion." i looked down at mitchell and stopped, knowing that despite our understanding, he was itching for a fight with me. now, i don't know what possessed me in that moment to say the next thing i did. maybe i was feeling guilty that because i was my daddy's son, i could ride ghost wind. maybe it was that, but it wasn't out of fear i said what i said. i no longer was afraid of mitchell. "you want to ride him? " i asked. mitchell took a step backward. it was obvious he hadn't expected me to say that. "you know i can't ride him," he said. "your white daddy'd kill me." "you want to ride him? " i asked again. mitchell looked at the stallion, then at me. "so, what if i do? " what intrinsic motivation does the author most likely intend the reader to infer from the passage? paul is motivated by his need to have mitchell praise his riding skills. mitchell is motivated by his need to have paul praise his riding skills. paul is motivated by jealousy and wishes he had free time like mitchell. mitchell is motivated by jealousy and wishes he could ride the horse.
