I guess here where I draw the line. These are simple point details to prove you have just read the story all the way through. I can explain that in anwsering these for you I will probably do you more harm than good on any subsequent test or random question by the teacher. None of these are hard or mysterious. Just read the story. Judging by your typing you seem very literate and have the time.

Any deeper questions AFTER that come see us. If you need the text there are several places online such as www.eapoe.org.
