Answer from: IHeartArt2555

The main idea of the story, John Booth is very preplanned about the things he has done and he seems sharp about killing the president. “ Then, at a stride, he passed the threshold again, leveled his arm at the President, and bent the trigger” this little piece of evidence from the story shows that he is sharp like he wanted an angle or spot to shoot at the right time. He planned the president’s assassination with a couple of his friends and his plan had work. This also would mean that he knew the theater like the back of his hand or when he planned it, it would automatically work like that.

The details of John planning to kill the president. “ "I am a senator," responded the person, "Mr. Lincoln has sent for me." The attendant gave way, and the young man passed into the box” John sneaks into the president’s box. he smiled as he was going to pull the trigger in his head. “ a close smell of powder and the rush of a dark, imperfectly outlined figure,—and the President's head dropped upon his shoulders”, John shot Lincoln in the head and dropped his head down to the position where it looks like he was sleeping. This shows the reader how John plans to kill the president and details that would make the reader’s mind visualize the story.

1. find at least 9 adjectives from this opening passage used to describe the setting of the story- "to build a fire" setting: day had broken cold and gray, exceedingly cold and gray, when the man turned aside from the main yukon trail and climbed the high earth-bank, where a dim and little-travelled trail led eastward through the fat spruce timberland. it was a steep bank, and he paused for breath at the top, excusing the act to himself by looking at his watch. it was nine o'clock. there was no sun nor hint of sun, through there was not a cloud in the sky. it was a clear day, and yet there seemed an intangible pall over the face of things, subtle gloom that made the day dark, and that was due to the absence of sun. this fact did not worry the man. he was used to the lack of sun. it had been days since he had seen the sun, and he knew that a few more days must pass before that cheerful orb, due south, would just peep above the sky-line and dip immediately from view.
