Refer to “The Lottery Ticket” by Chekhov to respond to the following question. Reread the following excerpt: The St. Martin’s summer is followed by cloudy, gloomy weather. It rains day and night, the bare trees weep, the wind is damp and cold. The dogs, the horses, the fowls–all are wet, depressed, downcast. There is nowhere to walk; one can’t go out for days together; one has to pace up and down the room, looking despondently at the grey window. It is dreary! How does the author’s word choice impact the tone?
