Read the passage: (excerpt from the alchemist by paul coelho) he opened his pouch to see what was left of his possessions; maybe there was a bit left of the sandwich he had eaten on the ship. but all he found was the heavy book, his jacket, and the two stones the old man had given him as he looked at the stones, he felt relieved for some reason. he had exchanged six sheep for two precious stones that had been taken from a gold breastplate. he could sell the stones and buy a return ticket. but this time i'll be smarter, the boy thought, removing them from the pouch so he could put them in his pocket. this was a port town, and the only truthful thing his friend had told him was that port towns are full of thieves how do the two stones affect the tone in this passage? a. they emphasize how alone the boy is and create a panicked tone. b. the stones remind the boy that he is not alone, creating a hopeful tone. c. they remind the boy of everything he has lost and create a tone of despair. d. the stones remind the boy of his ultimate goals, creating a joyful tone.
