Paragraph 45 includes details highlighting 'silence and stillness,' such as the absolute quietness around a lifeless figure, and 'movement' depicted by the moon's motion and blood dripping, which enrich the imagery and tone.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student's task involves a close reading of paragraph 45. Details related to silence and stillness found in the passage include phrases like "Silence deeper than the Night!" and the description of the "dead figure that never should move again." These details evoke a sense of complete absence of sound and motion. As for details related to movement, the text mentions the "moon floated from behind a cloud" and the "black, nauseous stream of blood dripping slowly from the pallet to the floor." These contrasts between stillness and subtle motion enhance the vivid imagery and tone of the passage. Furthermore, the paragraph suggests a transition from describing a static scene into a deeper analysis of the effects created by these technical elements.
