Read this excerpt from Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. I knew I could never let Mom hear the messages, because protecting her is one of my most important raisons
d'être, so what I did was I took Dad's emergency money from on top of his dresser, and I went to the Radio
Shack on Amsterdam. It was on a TV there that I saw that the first building had fallen. I bought the exact same
phone and ran home and recorded our greeting from the first phone onto it. I wrapped up the old phone in the
scarf that Grandma was never able to finish because of my privacy, and I put that in a grocery bag, and I put that
in a box, and I put that in another box, and I put that under a bunch of stuff in my closet, like my jewelry
workbench and albums of foreign currencies.
Which word best describes the tone of this excerpt?

The best assumption that we can get from this excerpt is that this message will be able to increase his mother's suffering. He is really concern about his mother and he knows that the message would harm her a lot. For him, she is the reason for living that's why he acted like that.

" these violent delights have violent ends"

answer: buck is a dog living a charmed life on the estate of judge miller, during the time of the klondike gold rush in 1897. he is the king of all the animals on the estate and as such enjoys special privileges, such as the run of the estate and the admirable position of being the judge's favorite dog.

this all ends the day he accompanies manuel on a walk through the orchard to a flag station, where manuel sells him to a stranger. manuel sells buck, because he has gambling debts he needs to pay and a family to support.

this one act changes buck's life irrevocably. it is the catalyst for the rest of the story about buck and his transformation from domestic pet to wild animal.
