III.’s name and the name of the

works: 20% (1 points for each item)

1.That felicity, when I reflected on it, has induced me sometimes to say, that

were it offered to my choice, I should have no objection to a repetition of the same life from its beginning, only asking the advantages authors have in a

second edition to correct some faults of the first. So I might, besides correcting the faults, 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 stone to be fitted and plastered in. I

struggled with its weight; I placed it partially in its destined position. 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 Work: A. The Cask of Amontillado B. Barn Burning C.The Autobiography

3.The world has been instructed by its kings, who have so magnetized the eyes

of nations. It has been taught by this colossal symbol the mutual reverence that is due from man to man. The joyful loyalty with which men have

everywhere suffered 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. Author: A. Walt Whitman B. William Faulkner C. Ralph W. Emerson Work: A. The Road Not Taken B.I Shot An Arrow C.Self-reliance

4. A lane was forthwith opened through the crowd of spectators. Preceded by the

beadle, and attended by an irregular procession of stern-browed men and unkindly visaged women, Hester 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. Author: A. Henry James B. William Faulkner C. Stephen Crane

Work: A.Catch-22 B. The Open Boat C.Miss Jewett

6.Well, she could just hear Cornelia telling her husband that Mother was getting a

li ttle childish and they’d have to humor her. The thing that most annoyed her was that Cornelia thought she was deaf, dumb, and blind. Little hasty glances and tiny gestures tossed around here and over her head saying, “Don’t cross her, let her have her way, she’s eighty years old,” and she sitting there as if she lived in a thin glass cage.

Author: A. Oscar Wilde B.H. W. Longfellow C. Katherine Anne Porter Work: A. The Jilting of Granny Weatherall B. Moby Dick C.The Jolly Corner

7. A little before three the Lutheran minister arrived from Flushing, and I began

to look involuntarily out the windows for other cars. So did Gatsby’s father. And as the time passed and the servants came in and stood waiting in the hall, his eyes began to blink anxiously, and he spoke of the rain in a worried, uncertain 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 out of here!"

Now time, the fluid world, rushed beneath him again, the voices coming to him again through the smell of cheese and 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. It was all a nothing and a man was

nothing too. It was only that the light was all it needed and a certain cleanness and order. Some lived in it and never felt it but he knew it all was nada y pues

nada y nada y pues nada.

Author: A. Wallace Stevens B. William Faulkner C. Ernest Hemingway Work: A. Death of a Salesman B.A Clean, Well-lighted Place C.Recitatif

10.ABBIE--(gives him a furious push which sends him staggering back and

springs to her feet--with wild rage and hatred) Don't ye dare tech me! What right hev ye t' question me 'bout him? He wa'n't yewr son! Think I'd have a son by yew? I'd die fust! I hate the sight o' ye an' allus did! It's yew I should've murdered, if I'd had good sense! I hate ye! I love Eben. I did from the fust. An' he was Eben's son--mine an' Eben's--not your'n!
