Scene 1:

Stage Set: A room with pink wallpaper. Ruth is sitting on the bed and turning the pages of a book, with an expression of awe on her face.

PERCY: (shouting angrily) Ruth, what are you doing in my room? Haven't I told you umpteen times to not touch my books?
RUTH: (tearfully) I was only looking at the pictures in your book because they are so colorful and pretty.
PERCY: Well, now that you have seen them, out you go! And next time, don't touch my belongings without asking me.
(Ruth leaves with a hurt expression on her face.)

Scene 2:

Stage Set: A shoe shop in a busy street, where Percy and Ruth have come to shop with their mom.

MOM: Only one of you can buy a pair of shoes this month, as all the shoes in this shop are way more expensive than I had thought. (Takes Percy to a corner and speaks to her softly.) Percy, since you're the older one, I think you should let your baby sister buy a pair this time. You can buy your favorite shoes next month, can't you, darling?
RUTH: (hears their conversation) No, Mom, let Percy buy these shoes now, so she can wear them to the party next week, and I'll buy a pair for myself next month.
PERCY: (hugging Ruth) Well, you are the best sister in the world!. I realize I have been so mean to you, and I am truly sorry for my behavior. I'll try to be a better sister to you. (Ruth smiles broadly, hugging her sister back.)

What is the effect of narrator's word choice on the tone of this passage? the words "my heart shrank within itself" create a fearful tone. the words "wounded his fellow" develop a remorseful tone. the words "struck harsh upon my ears" suggest an irritated tone. the words "better-omened" set a hopeful tone. excerpt from "the cabuliwallah" by rabindranath tagore i was sitting in my study, looking through the accounts, when some one entered, saluting respectfully, and stood before me. it was rahmun the cabuliwallah. at first i did not recognise him. he had no bag, nor the long hair, nor the same vigour that he used to have. but he smiled, and i knew him again. "when did you come, rahmun? " i asked him. "last evening," he said, "i was released from jail." the words struck harsh upon my ears. i had never before talked with one who had wounded his fellow, and my heart shrank within itself when i realised this; for i felt that the day would have been better-omened had he not turned up.
