When an author introduces a new character in a short story, he or she must quickly establish the character's key traits. In this portion of the narrative, the author misses an opportunity to develop Mr. Valentine. Rewrite this section of the story to better establish Mr. Valentine as a complex character.
Here's the passage:
Promptly at 8:00 a. m., the doorbell rang. Letting out another deep sigh, Paul pulled himself up off the couch and walked to the door. Opening it, he discovered a small, shriveled, white-haired man staring up at him with piercing blue eyes.
"Mr. Candor?" the man said in a voice that was much larger than he was.
"Uh, no, sir. My father isn't home right now. I can give you his work number if you'd like to call him," replied Paul.
"Mr. Paul Candor is who I'm looking for," said the man. "Is that you?"
"Oh, yes, sir. That's me. You must be my tutor," said Paul, in a voice that didn't hide his skepticism.
"Yes, I'm Mr. Valentine. Let's get to work."
Paul welcomed Mr. Valentine into the house and they sat at the kitchen table and began to work.

Returning from vietnam, we were indeed given a parade. crowds of screaming people waving signs — not just on one road, one day. no, they were everywhere. every day. on the streets, on the television, on the radio. a hot, angry tangle of shaking fists and ugly words that threatened us like a monster with a hundred heads. our country had chewed us up and spit us out, and now we were being treated as if it were our fault. what is one way the author's use of language contributes to the tone of this passage? a. the use of figurative language creates a feeling of resentment. b. the phrase "hot, angry tangle" is used sarcastically to create irony. c. the word "parade" is used sarcastically to create a lighthearted mood. d. the parallelism draws attention to the confusion of those returning.
