- Read the paragraph from Nick's personal narrative. Standing alone in my family's barn, I thought about how much hard work and time my parents had invested-how much hard work and time we had all invested-in maintaining a fully operational farm. I did not remember a time when my clothes had not reeked of manure or my hair had not held fast to brittle pieces of straw. What would happen if my parents had to sell the farm so we could move closer to my grandparents?

- Part 1: Gothic Fiction:The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr.Hyde Quiz Active Read the excerpt from The Strange Case of Dr.Jokyll and Mr. Hyde. This hall, in which he was now left alone, was a pet fancy of his friend the doctor's; and Utterson himself was wont to speak of it as the pleasantest room in London. But tonight there was a shudder in his blood; the face of Hyde sat heavy on his memory; he felt (what was rare with him) a nausea and distaste of life; and in the gloom of his spirits, he seemed to read a menace in the flickering of the firelight on the polished cabinets and the uneasy starting of the shadow on the roof. He was ashamed of his relief, when Poole presently returned to announce that Dr. Jekyll was gone out. Which statement best describes how the author establishes mood in the excerpt? The author's description of the grand room creates an admiring mood. The author's description of physical symptoms creates an anxious mood. The author's mention of Utterson's thoughts creates a sentimental mood. The author's mention of Ulterson's spirits creates a spiritual mood.
