This note refers to which important idea found in the
interview?
i'm one of those people who doesn't really think of
thrillers in a conventional way
o you have to make sure that the reader cares enough
about these characters
o "the great gatsby," where you had a lone gunman
killing someone.
i'm thinking about the books i grew up with, even "gone
with the wind,"

Read the passage. when mother’s fever persisted for a week, father summoned our family doctor. dr. blakemore applied leeches to mother’s skin in hopes of reducing the amount of blood in her body. despite the doctor’s efforts, she languished in bed for three more days before her appetite returned and she requested a thin broth. our dear cook, mrs. davis, prepared the broth and delivered it to my mother directly, eager to ease her discomfort. what can readers infer about the time period of the passage?
