The description of this setting emphasizes how the wife of
the fisherman feels because
Read the following excerpt from "The Boy Who Glowed."
In the long distant past, upon the western shores of the
Great Water, there lived a fisherman and his wife. They had
no children and the nearest village was a day away. They
līved alone, surrounded by rocky cliffs and dull, gray skies.
Each day, the fisherman would go out upon the Great Water.
His wife would sit on the beach watching the birds with their
young circling in the sky and riding the waves. As the birds
chatted and dove for minnows, she called out, "Oh, sea
birds, how I wish I had children like you to keep me
company during these long, gray days."
the faraway location mirrors the distrust she has of the
people who live in the village.
the isolation of her home emphasizes her desire to live
closer to the village and its people.
the cold landscape's desolation reflects the sadness she
feels about not having any children.
the closeness to the ocean shows readers that she has a
deep love for the open sea.

Which two elements does this excerpt from a christmas carol by charles dickens contain? "a small matter," said the ghost, “to make these silly folks so full of gratitude." "small! " echoed scrooge. the spirit signed to him to listen to the two apprentices, who were pouring out their hearts in praise of fezziwig: and when he had done so, said, "why! is it not? he has spent but a few pounds of your mortal money: three or four perhaps. is that so much that he deserves this praise? " "it isn’t that," said scrooge, heated by the remark, and speaking unconsciously like his former, not his latter, self. "it isn't that, spirit. he has the power to render us happy or unhappy; to make our service light or burdensome; a pleasure or a toil. say that his power lies in words and looks; in things so slight and insignificant that it is impossible to add and count ’em up: what then? the happiness he gives, is quite as great as if it cost a fortune." he felt the spirit's glance, and stopped. "what is the matter? " asked the ghost. "nothing particular," said scrooge. "something, i think? " the ghost insisted. "no," said scrooge, "no. i should like to be able to say a word or two to my clerk just now. that's all."
