english 10a credit 3 hs - l4l english 10a(2021)

Explanation:

1. Standout text/words: The onomatopoeias RING and THUMP! are visually bold, large, and stylized, making them stand out. The text boxes with the visitor's formal, urgent lines ("Good morning, madam, I'm looking for Gregor Samsa." "I'm the chief clerk at his...") also stand out against the more anxious, internal thoughts of the character inside.
2. Mood impact:

• RING creates a sharp, jarring, tense mood, signaling an unexpected, intrusive disruption to the character's anxious quiet.
• THUMP! amplifies the sense of chaos and panic, showing the character's distressed physical reaction to the visitor's arrival, heightening the scene's stressful, overwhelming mood.
• The formal, blunt dialogue of the chief clerk contrasts with the internal fear of the character inside, emphasizing the pressure and threat of external consequences, deepening the anxious, trapped mood of the scene.

Answer:

• Standout elements: The bold onomatopoeias RING and THUMP!, and the chief clerk's formal, urgent dialogue text boxes.
• Mood effect: These elements build a tense, anxious, and chaotic mood. The loud onomatopoeias disrupt the quiet unease, while the clerk's demands amplify the sense of pressure and panic for the character inside.
