Read the excerpt from Chapter 21 of A Lesson Before Dying.
Miss Emma lay under a quilt, her head resting on two pillows. The
mosquito bar hung on the bed behind her. I asked her how she
felt. She did not answer, only a slight movement at the comers of
her mouth showed that she had heard me. Her eyes were looking
at something that was not in the room.
What does the figurative language in the excerpt suggest about
Miss Emma?
O Her vision is failing.
She is overcome with illness.
Her only focus on Jefferson.
O She is disappointed in Grant.
