Answer from: blake2001

The theme of "Auguste heat" is murder.

Explanation:

The author is W. F. Harvey, and it was published in 1910. The short story is about an artist, James Clarence Withencroft. He is describing his strange day, "the most remarkable day" in his life, as he writes, because in a sort of premonition, that is the day in which a "murdered" meets his "murderer", or, even better said, in which he mees his murderer, before it actually happens the criminal act, and even before meeting in person.

The story starts in a hot day of August, in which Withencroft is drawing a fat man in a dock, a criminal, after being sentenced. He loved his work and kept it on his pocket. Then he started walking for a while until he found the gate of a monumental mason, name Charles Arkinson, as said in the entrance. He entered by an impulse and found out Arkinson itself working on a piece, but welcomed Withencroft nicely and started chatting. He discovered that the man looked exactly as his morning drawing. And, at the same, the piece Arkinson was sculpting was in the memory of James Clarence Withencroft born in 1860 and deceased in 1900. Withencroft mentioned to Arkinson his name and birthday was exactly the same as the sculpture marked, and also showed him his morning drawing. They were shocked about the coincidences, and none of them could hit on the answers of the mystery behind that. After that, Arkinson convinced Withencroft to stay until midnight but at passing eleven o'clock Withencroft writes that the heat of August could be enough to make a man mad. And this is the end, leaving unanswered questions of a murder.

And this is why, with mystery and terror, W. F. Harvey is developing the theme of murder.

Plz im willing to put all my points on the line for this so it would be very nice if u guys could (there is also brainliest on the line)think of an intense argument you had or witnessed sometime in your life. close your eyes and remember every detail. to turn this into a dramatic scene you will need to make changes that will make it make more sense to the audience 500-600 words a description of the set up that explains what happened before the scene diction that matches the characters character objectives and obstacles are clearly conveyed a scene that escalates in dramatic intensity diction that is appropriate to the audience words that are not wasted in idle chit chat action (stage directions) that enhance the scene proper formatting for dramatldr i need a 500- 600 word argument that is understandable ot a high school audience
