(mc) read these lines from great expectations by charles dickens: the cold wind seemed to blow colder there than outside the gate; and it made a shrill noise in howling in and out at the open sides of the brewery, like the noise of wind in the rigging of a ship at sea. what overall impression does this description give of the house the narrator is approaching? the house is forbidding and a bit frightening. the house seems like an adventure to explore. the house holds many unexpected surprises. the house makes unexpected but light-hearted sounds.
