Which detail from the excerpt best characterizes Hussain as a cruel man?
Read the excerpt from Igbal
Suddenly I realized that I had to get back to work. My
mind had wandered. Just in time I managed to
recapture a thread I was about to lose. Then the
sunbeams were blocked and the two swords of light
stopped fighting. We all turned around to see the
master standing in the doorway. His big body filled it.
He was dressed for traveling, with a long coat that
almost reached his feet and boots covered with red
dust In his left hand he held a sack, and his right hand
held the arm of a boy in an iron grip. The boy was thin
and dark and not very tall, he looked about two years
older than me.
O We all turned around to see the master standing in
the doorway. His big body filled it.
O He was dressed for traveling, with a long coat that
almost reached his feet and boots covered with red
dust.
O In his left hand he held a sack, and his right hand
held the arm of a boy in an iron grip.
O Hussain headed toward the door. Once there he
stopped and pointed his fat finger toward Karim.
