Read the excerpt from "Pecos Bill.” That tornado was truly awe-inspiring, roaring loud and turning the sky black and green. He grabbed it, shoved it to the ground, and straddled it! The tornado was doggone mad. Whipping and whirling, it tried to throw him off, but Bill jest rode along nice and calm until finally he tamed it.

How does the plot influence characterization in this excerpt?

The rising action shows Bill fearlessly taking on the storm.
The exposition introduces Bill as mild-mannered and polite.
The exposition introduces the storm as Bill’s biggest challenge.
The rising action shows the storm pushing Bill beyond his limits.

The rising action shows Bill fearlessly taking on the storm.

Explanation:

This is because the excerpt does not introduce Bill, and the tornado is described as ¨awe-inspiring¨, which has a positive connotation. Furthermore, Bill as being described, ¨rode along nice and calm¨. In turn, this shows that he was not pushed beyond his limits.

in paul laurence dunbar's poem "we wear the mask," he replicates the words mask and we to emphasize how people in general -not just black americans- hide their true feelings. he suggests the masks cover people's faces and eyes, which are the main parts that display their emotions. he also thinks people's pain conceal behind those masks, so that they cannot see reality and nobody is able to see one another's sorrow.

brutus overlooks that the majority of the crowd served julius caesar the military general. he appeals to their citizenship as romans by calling them first by that name in his salutation: "romans, countrymen, lovers." mark antony, however, speaks in terms understood by the military, by calling them first by, "friends, romans, countrymen." he recalls not only caesar the general but caesar the friend, whose body they see covered with stab wounds.
