Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

"Oh just my mother and father and uncle sitting around, talking. It's like being a pedestrian, only rarer. My uncle was arrested another time-did I tell you?-for being a pedestrian. Oh, we're most peculiar."

"His wife stretched on the bed, uncovered and cold, like a body displayed on the lid of a tomb, her eyes fixed to the ceiling by invisible threads of steel, immovable."

" How like a mirror, too, her face. Impossible; for how many people did you know that refracted your own light to you?"

Sorry these are all long, I didnt want to leave out any information lol

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. She had a very thin face like the dial of a small clock seen faintly in a dark room in the middle of a night when you waken to see the time and see the clock telling you the hour and the minute and the second, with a white silence and a glowing, all certainty and knowing what it has to tell of the night passing swiftly on toward further darknesses but moving also toward a new sun. Pg. 4

2. He glanced back at the wall. How like a mirror, too, her face. Pg. 4

3. His wife stretched on the bed, uncovered and cold, like a body displayed on the lid of a tomb, her eyes fixed to the ceiling by invisible threads of steel, immovable. Pg. 5
