20 points how does mr. atkinson develop over the course of the story? he is friendly and kind to james but transforms into a menacing man sharpening his chisel in the stifling, hot attic. he is a talkative stonemason who takes pride in his work but remains silent as he struggles to repair a table leg. he is content with himself and his appearance until he sees the picture james drew of him and becomes self-conscious. he greets james as if he were an old friend but becomes infuriated with him over the portrait james drew of him. read these paragraphs from the story. i told him my address. it would take an hour’s quick walk to get back home. “it’s like this,” he said. “we’ll look at the matter straight. if you go back home tonight, you take your chance of accidents. a cart may run over you, and there’s always banana skins and orange peel, to say nothing of fallen ladders.” he spoke of the improbable with an intense seriousness that would have been laughable six hours before. but i did not laugh. what does this interaction between the two men reveal about james? james is surprised by mr. atkinson's solemnness and thinks there is value in what the man is saying. james is appreciative of mr. atkinson's concern and wonders if he should hurry home. james is dismayed by the things mr. atkinson says and begins to feel uncomfortable. james is skeptical and thinks mr. atkinson is overreacting to the situation.

the answer is james is surprised by mr. atkinsons solemnness and thinks there is value in what the man is saying.   i took the test and got that answer right so hope i help if am late am so sorry

answer:

a. "there, said he, there is something for you."

explanation:

"said he" should not have been part of what is in the dialogue.

1.   in sonnet 18, the speaker wants to describe the beauty of his love, but can’t find the words to do so. the speaker says “then in mid-utterance the lay was lost” when he tries to think of the words to describe his love’s beauty.   through his defeat of finding words to describe his love, he shows his love for her.

2.   instead of describing how perfect his love is or comparing her to other beautiful things, he says she is average and there is nothing special about her.   at the last 2 lines of the poem, the volta changes the poem by saying that even though his love is average in beauty, his love for her is special and unique. so instead of praising her throughout the whole poem, he contrasts her average characteristics with his special love for her.

3.   the beloved asked the speaker to describe how he feels about her. she begins to describe what she feels but "drop the torch" and says that she can't do it because the words "hid in me out of reach." the the speaker says "nay, let the silence of my womanhood command my woman-love to thy belief" and that her silence will have to be the answer to his question.
