So now della's beautiful hair fell about her rippling and shining like a cascade of brown waters. it reached below her knee and made itself almost a garment for her. and then she did it up again nervously and quickly. once she faltered for a minute and stood still while a tear or two splashed on the worn red carpet. on went her old brown jacket; on went her old brown hat. with a whirl of skirts and with the brilliant sparkle still in her eyes, she fluttered out the door and down the stairs to the street. what is the purpose of the author’s description of della’s hair and clothing? the author illustrates the drabness of della’s life by describing her brown hair, brown jacket, and brown hat. the author expresses the idea that della’s hair is a better garment than her jacket. the author is emphasizing della’s poverty as she goes out to buy a gift for jim. the author emphasizes the value of della’s hair by contrasting its beauty with the plainness of her clothing.

Which two parts of this excerpt from mary shelley’s frankenstein reveals information about the setting? (it was on a dreary night of november that i beheld the accomplishment of my toils.) with an anxiety that almost amounted to agony, (i collected the instruments of life around me, that i might infuse a spark of being into the lifeless thing that lay at my feet. it was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out) when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, i saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs. (how can i describe my emotions at this catastrophe), or how delineate the wretch whom with such infinite pains and care i had endeavored to form? his limbs were in proportion, and i had selected his features as beautiful. beautiful! great god! (his yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath; his hair was of a lustrous black, and flowing; his teeth of a pearly whiteness; ) but these luxuriances only formed a more horrid contrast with his watery eyes, that seemed almost of the same color as the dun-white sockets in which they were set, his shriveled complexion and straight black lips.
