Answer:
the Treasure of Lemon Brown is a novel written by Walter Dean Myers.In this story, a boy named Greg Ridley meets the former blues singer, Lemon Brown, in an old, abandoned house and learns a valuable lesson about life and its treasures
Sitting in his room, listening to a storm in the distance, Greg starts thinking about a pickup game he’d seen a while back in an abandoned warehouse. He decides to go there in the hopes of getting into a game. When he gets to the warehouse, he enters and looks around. It is dark with only the light from a few passing cars. Greg is aware of something in the room with him, and is scared. Suddenly Lemon Brown speaks up, saying he doesn’t have anything for him, and that he has a razor that could cut him up. They wind up talking for a while. Greg wants to know about Lemon’s supposed treasure. Lemon doesn’t have time to explain to him.A group of thugs come in and toss the room, looking for Lemon and his “treasure.” Lemon and Greg quietly run from room to room, hiding. Suddenly, as they are trapped in an upstairs room, Greg howls like a wolf. Lemon throws himself at the attackers at the top of the stairs, and they all tumble down the stairs. Only Lemon returns, though he is bumped and bruised.
Greg and Mr. Brown begin talking. Lemon tells Greg of his past accomplishments as “Sweet Lemon Brown - Blues Singer and Harmonica Player.” He’d been quite famous. He had also had a wife and son, but when his wife died, his sister-in-law took the boy in. Lemon didn’t really see much of him after that. His playing wasn’t as good, once he lost his reason for playing.Then he found out that his son had gone off to war and died. When they found his body, he was carrying his dad’s old “mouth fiddle and these clippings” of when Lemon had played. That had been his son’s treasure, and when Lemon got them back and realized that his son loved him enough to carry them everywhere he went, the clippings became his treasure. Lemon also says that every man has a treasure. With the thugs chased off, and Lemon’s story told, the rain ends and Lemon tells Greg he ought to be on his way home. Greg agrees and walks home. When he reaches his stoop, he thinks about the lecture his dad is going to give him. Somehow, it makes him smile. He has learned something important from Lemon. He has a new appreciation for his dad, and all his dad does for him.

Thank you.
It’s because I need to color code the l sentences later.
Thank you again!
I would personally have my own bedroom. You spend much more time in your bedroom than you would a bathroom. When I have time to myself, I'd want to be comfortable and have space all to my own. With a bedroom, you have a bunch of space and a cozy bed and all your stuff in it. You can just chill by yourself. With a bathroom, it's usually a much smaller space, and you don't really have any comfy furniture there. Also, I could lay on my floor in the bedroom, but laying on the floor in the bathroom wouldn't be ideal. Bathrooms to yourself are nice, but your own living space is better.

Read the excerpt from “The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle.”
I called upon my friend, Sherlock Holmes, on the second morning after Christmas, to wish him a happy holiday. He was lounging upon the sofa in a purple dressing gown among a pile of crumpled morning newspapers. He was peering through a magnifying glass at an old, shabby black hat, cracked in several places.
“Am I interrupting you?” I asked.
“Not at all. I am glad to have a friend with whom I can discuss my findings.”
I sat down in his armchair and warmed my hands before his crackling fire. A sharp frost had set in, and the windows were thick with the ice crystals. “I suppose,” I remarked, “that, homely as it looks, that hat has some deadly story linked on to it. Is it the clue that will guide you to the solution of a mystery, or the punishment of a crime?”
“No, no. No crime,” said Sherlock Holmes, laughing. “Only one of those odd little events that happen when you have four million people crowded together within the space of a few square miles.”

Read this excerpt from The Golem.
There is wild disorder as neighbors, children, birds, cart-peddlers, other livestock, all run into each other in the frenzy caused by the chickens.
Suddenly, the people hear a loud roar, louder even than the noise they've been making. Everyone stops – even the chickens – and looks up the street to see the source of the sound.
A deep flood races around a corner and down the street toward them, several feet high and carrying away everything in its path. People, carts, animals, birds, all go flying down the street, carried by the racing current.

Can you trust that the narrator is accurately describing what’s happening in the story or poem? Why or why not?
Answer:
From reading “The Tell-Tale Heart” by Edgar Allan Poe, readers learn that the narrator is unreliable and therefore cannot be trusted to tell the story completely accurately. To begin, the narrator cannot be trusted through his vague personality. The narrator claims, “And every morning, when the day broke, I went boldly into the chamber, and spoke courageously to him, calling him by name in a hearty tone, and inquiring how he had passed the night” (Poe 626). The narrator mentions this the morning after the seventh night of stalking. In the wee hours of the morning, the narrator ever so cautiously enters the old man’s bedroom. Here, he shines the light of a lantern upon the “Evil Eye” of the sleeping senior. Throughout the story, three major details of the narrator’s psyche are confirmed. First, we learned of the narrator’s deceitfulness. Every morning he lies to the old man with the least bit of guilt. The next continues to prove the madness as the narrator feels utter joy from the terror of another. Lastly, the narrator fabricates that the old man is simply not home to assure the officers. Readers may question Poe’s choice of a mentally unstable narrator. Though the narrator is clearly proven mad, his descriptions intensify the story greatly. It gives the tale purpose and proposes a captivating plot. A narrator: it is now made debatable if readers will ever have entire trust in another after Edgar Allan Poe’s remarkable.
Explanation: another answer to the question
He is not a reliable narrator because he is insane. Though he repeatedly states that he is sane, the reader suspects otherwise from his bizarre reasoning, behavior, and speech. ‘‘True—nervous—very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad?'' The reader realizes through Poe’s description of the narrator’s extreme nervousness that the protagonist has in fact descended into madness, as anxiety is a common symptom of insanity. He apparently suffers from some form of paranoia. Besides, the narrator claims that he loves the old man and has no motive for the murder other than his growing dislike of a cloudy film over one of the old man’s eyes. At first the intervals receive conventional description—an ‘‘hour,’’ or ‘‘many minutes’’—but eventually such descriptions become meaningless and duration can be presented only in terms of the experience itself. Thus, in the conclusion of the story, the ringing in the madman’s ears is ‘‘distinct,’’ then is discovered to be so ‘‘definite’’, and finally grows to such obsessive proportions that it drives the criminal into an emotional and physical frenzy. Throughout the story, not much objective information is given; the experience is simply way subjective.

Read the following paragraphs carefully to see whether or not they create a mood.

I couldn't choke back the tears as I watched Him carry that heavy cross. They had already beaten Him so badly you couldn't recognize Him. When He stumbled, and the cross fell on Him, I wept openly. And yet, as He looked at me, there was no hate in His eyes!
I stood afar off, but my heart was heavy as I listened to the nails being pounded into the cross!'
