i decided to stay late in the laboratory to continue my experiment with the lightbulb. at midnight, thomas edison opened the door and walked in with his head held high.

1. he leaned on the wall and observed me carefully.

2. his harsh scrutiny made me self-conscious of my skills in the lab.

3. perhaps it was just me, but the air in the laboratory began to thicken as i found myself having difficulty to breathe.

4. i turned to look at him fully as i mentally prepared myself for what my very first words would be to thomas edison.

5. the next couple of seconds shocked me. it wasn't me who spoke, but rather him and with diction i could never think of using in a simple sentence.

hey, sorry if this was bad, i really didn't know what to write but i wanted to you. is there anything that you had to include within the excerpt?

a foil character shows contrast with the qualities of another character. to emphasize the traits of the other character is the main objective. cassius is a foil to brutus, and brutus is a foil to antony. both cassius and antony conspire to kill caesar, but cassius is more prone to treachery than brutus is. thus, easily gives in to his evil ambition. brutus is a foil to antony because brutus’s honesty and simplicity are in clear contrast to antony’s qualities of deception and over-ambition.
