Read the excerpt from a student’s essay.
The first mention of Ship-Trap Island already gives the reader an uneasy feeling. Whitney describes the island’s fearsome reputation among the ship’s crew as Rainsford peers into the black night to see any sign of the place. He cannot see the mysterious island, and Whitney knows little about it, other than that it frightens the sailors. Interestingly, it fills Whitney with a sense of dread as well.
Which revision of the first sentence best incorporates the literary term mood?
Rainsford is not in the mood to listen to Whitney’s irrational assumptions about Ship-Trap Island.
Whitney and Rainsford’s discussion of Ship-Trap Island immediately establishes a foreboding mood. Whitney’s description of Ship-Trap Island instantly puts the reader into the right mood to read the story.
The story’s overall tone is established by the moods of its characters, Whitney and Rainsford.

Answer:

Finally, one day, Helen is able to understand the word "think," another abstract word, and this leads her back to love. She asks Miss Sullivan if it is like the sun coming out after a rainy day. Miss Sullivan explains that love is not something concrete that can be seen or held but rather a "sweetness":

"Love is something like the cloudsclouds that were in the sky before the sun came out," she replied. Then in simpler words than these, which at that time I could not have understood, she explained: "You cannot touch the clouds, you know; but you feel the rain and know how glad the flowers and the thirsty earth are to have it after a hot day. You cannot touch love either; but you feel the sweetness that it pours into everything. Without love you would not be happy or want to play."

The beautiful truth burst upon my mind—I felt that there were invisible lines stretched between my spirit and the spirits of others.

This story comes in Chapter 6. Anne Sullivan was teaching Helen words for all sorts of things, using finger language. Abstract concepts were trickier. One day Anne spelled out, “I love Helen.” Helen responded by asking, “What is love?” Anne pointed to her heart and said, “It is here.” Helen was confused and made some guesses that weren’t quite on the mark. A few days later, while Helen was having problems working with beads, Anne stopped her, touched her forehead, and told her to “Think.” Helen suddenly realized what that word meant. And she related it to the kind of word she thought “love” was. Anne was able to make the additional connection when she described scenes of nature that made Helen happiest:

You cannot touch the clouds, you know … You cannot touch love either; but you feel the sweetness that it pours into everything. Without love you would not be happy or want to play.

This is when Helen understood the concept of love.
