change some sinister accidents and events of it for others more favorable.
Author: A. William Faulkner B. Benjamin Franklin C. Ralph Waldo Ellison
Work: A. The Autobiography B. Barn Burning C. The Great Gatsby
2.It was now midnight, and my task was drawing to a close. I had
completed the eighth, the ninth, and the tenth tier. I had finished
a portion of the last and the eleventh; there remained but a single

But now there came from out the niche a low laugh that erected the hairs upon my head. It was succeeded by a sad voice, which I had difficulty in recognising as that of the noble Fortunato.
Author: A. Edgar Allan Poe B. William Faulkner C. Ralph Waldo Ellison

the king, the noble, or the great proprietor to walk among them
by a law of his own, make his own scale of men and things, and
reverse theirs, pay for benefits not with money but with honor,
and represent the law in his person, was the hieroglyphic by
which they obscurely signified their consciousness of their own
right and comeliness, the right of every man.

Work: A. The Road Not Taken B.I Shot An Arrow C. Self-reliance

Preceded by the beadle, and attended by an irregular procession

Prynne set forth towards the place appointed for her punishment.
A crowd of eager and curious schoolboys, understanding little of
the matter in hand, except that it gave them a half-holiday, ran
before her progress, turning their heads continually to stare into
her face and at the winking baby in her arms, and at the
ignominious letter on her breast. It was no great distance, in
those days, from the prison door to the market-place.
Author: A. Nathaniel Hawthorne B. William Faulkner C.Emily Dickenson
Work: A. Moby Dick B. The Scarlet Letter C.Walden
5.As the boat bounced from the top of each wave, the wind tore
through the hair of the hatless men, and as the craft plopped her
stern down again the spray splashed past them. The crest of
each of these waves was a hill, from the top of which the men
surveyed, for a moment, a broad tumultuous expanse, shining
and wind-riven. It was probably splendid. It was probably
glorious, this play of the free sea, wild with lights of emerald and
white and amber.

way.The minister glanced several times at his watch, so I took
him aside and asked him to wait for half an hour.But it wasn’t
any use.Nobody came.
Author: A. F. S. Fitzgerald B. Arther Miller C.H. W. Longfellow
Work: A. Once More To the Lake B. Barn Burning C.The Great Gatsby
8."No!" Harris said violently, explosively. "Damnation! Send him

sealed meat, the fear and despair and the old grief of blood…
Author: A. F. S. Fitzgerald B. William Faulkner C. Robert Frost
Work: A. Invisible Man B. Barn Burning C.The Happy Prince
9."Good night," the other said. Turning off the electric light he
continued the conversation with himself. It is the light of course, but it is necessary that the place be clean and pleasant. You do not want music. Certainly you do not want music. Nor can you stand before a bar with dignity although that is all that is provided for these hours. What did he fear? It was not fear or dread. It was a nothing that he knew too well.

Some lived in it and never felt it but he knew it all was nada y pues nada y nada y pues nada.
