It follows Mr. Nuttel, a man that is looking for some piece and quiet in the countryside. It narrators for everyone not just for itself. This is how i know it is told third person omniscient. ]]> 2018-02-15 14:46:51 UTC https://padlet.com/nunezel/w98wzl02gtbk/wish/231922715 nunezel https://padlet.com/nunezel/w98wzl02gtbk/wish/231932356 Exposition: A Man named Framton Nuttel goes to Mrs. Sappleton's home seeking mental help.
Rising: Vera tells Mr. Nuttel that her aunt Mrs. Sappleton has been plagued by the death of her husband, her brothers, and their dog, and that they keep the window open in hopes of their return.
Climax: Mr. Nuttel sees the "dead men" through the window, and is so severely spooked he flees the house.
Falling Action: It turns out that the men are not actually dead and that Vera made all of that up. In all actuality Mrs. Sappleton moves on from her lovers very quickly.
Denouement: Mrs. Sappleton thinks it was odd that he came talking about his ailments and then fled so suddenly.

I imagine a window with many panes.
"dreadful wet summer" (2)
I can feel the humid air attacking my skin.
"white waterproof coat over his arm" (2)
I can feel the smooth waterproof material on my fingers.
"they look as if they were muddy up to the eyes" (3)
I can see three men with mud covering their entire bodies.]]> 2018-02-20 01:25:26 UTC https://padlet.com/nunezel/w98wzl02gtbk/wish/233100326 nunezel https://padlet.com/nunezel/w98wzl02gtbk/wish/233105464 Indirect: I infer that Mr. Nuttel is an easily excitable man, because instead of coming to a logical conclusion that those were actual living humans, he jumped to the conclusion that what he was seeing were ghosts.
"In a chill shock of nameless fear Framton swung round in his seat and looked in the same direction...  Framton grabbed wildly at his stick and hat; the hall door, the gravel drive, and the front gate were dimly noted stages in his headlong retreat" (Saki 3)

Direct: "you will bury yourself down there and not speak to a living soul, and your nerves will be worse than ever from moping" (1) In this quote from his sister, it can be said that Mr. Nuttel is a nervous guy that finds his current life too much.]]> 2018-02-20 01:52:49 UTC https://padlet.com/nunezel/w98wzl02gtbk/wish/233105464 nunezel https://padlet.com/nunezel/w98wzl02gtbk/wish/233107895 2018-02-20 02:07:19 UTC https://padlet.com/nunezel/w98wzl02gtbk/wish/233107895 nunezel https://padlet.com/nunezel/w98wzl02gtbk/wish/233108998 2018-02-20 02:14:53 UTC https://padlet.com/nunezel/w98wzl02gtbk/wish/233108998 nunezel https://padlet.com/nunezel/w98wzl02gtbk/wish/233109270 This image represents "crazy" Mrs. Sappleton]]> 2018-02-20 02:16:51 UTC https://padlet.com/nunezel/w98wzl02gtbk/wish/233109270 nunezel https://padlet.com/nunezel/w98wzl02gtbk/wish/233109369 The theme of this story is that not everything is what it seems, or don't believe everything you are told. This is because Mr. Nuttel believed what Vera told him, and thought the men coming from the woods were actually dead, when they were not.]]> 2018-02-20 02:17:48 UTC https://padlet.com/nunezel/w98wzl02gtbk/wish/233109369 nunezel https://padlet.com/nunezel/w98wzl02gtbk/wish/233110184 The tone is almost playful. That is because it plays on Mr. Nuttel's gullibleness.

"once hunted into a cemetery...  by a pack of pariah dogs,... with the creatures snarling and grinning and foaming just above him (Saki 4)
Imagery: The words Saki uses gives the story life. words like "dazed horror" and "deepening twilight" help create certain tones.]]> 2018-02-20 02:36:04 UTC https://padlet.com/nunezel/w98wzl02gtbk/wish/233111820 nunezel https://padlet.com/nunezel/w98wzl02gtbk/wish/233114821 Some conflicts in the story are that Mr. Nuttel is battling wit some form of anxiety.
"you will bury yourself down there and not speak to a living soul, and your nerves will be worse than ever from moping."
And Mrs. Sappleton's husband, brothers, and dog "died".
"Out through that window, three years ago to a day, her husband and her two young brothers went off for their day's shooting. They never came back" (Saki 2).]]> 2018-02-20 03:00:03 UTC https://padlet.com/nunezel/w98wzl02gtbk/wish/233114821
