Question 1 • English IV
Read the excerpt from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde . He [Hyde] turned a dreadful smile to me, and as if with the decision of despair, plucked away the sheet. At sight of the contents, he uttered one loud sob of such immense relief that I sat petrified. And the next moment, in a voice that was already fairly well under control, "Have you a graduated glass?” he asked. How does the point of view affect how information is revealed in the excerpt?
