Thank you We sneak in Sure Shmoop du jour Brought

00:05

to you by googly eyes those creepy things we put

00:07

on office supplies so that we always see a friendly

00:10

face Otherwise it's a c all right try to regain

00:15

your sanity and then read following passage Impossible thing going

00:18

on in my brain Fancy man world on seven long

00:24

night midnight only slept all right Why did the narrator

00:30

initially find it impossible to fulfill his goal and do

00:33

the work options are aidan They're indifferent concerned All right

00:40

well normally when we hear the phrase do the work

00:42

we'd think of something relatively harmless like yard work or

00:46

lawn mowing stuff like that But for a neurotic narrator

00:49

the work means something a teensy bit more worrisome like

00:53

stabbing an old man because he has a freaky looking

00:55

eye worries that kind of worrisome that kind of work

00:59

But what exactly is standing in the way of our

01:01

nasty narrator in his wicked winds Well it's not that

01:05

he's worried he'll be caught The old man is pretty

01:07

soundly asleep Probably tuckered out after a whole day of

01:10

having someone stare at his eyeball Now if the old

01:13

man were armed That would definitely throw a monkey wrench

01:16

or a shift into the narrator's plan But there's no

01:19

mention of weaponry at all in the passage and is

01:22

the narrator plagued by sudden pangs of sympathy Not really

01:26

He's pretty single minded about killing the old man which

01:29

presents a problem because the narrator has no objections to

01:31

him at all except that he has a weird eye

01:35

So when that evil eyes closed well suddenly he's just

01:38

a sweet happy old granddad again which is the problem

01:41

that our narrator is encountering with that i close Suddenly

01:44

he has no motivation whatsoever to kill the man Which

01:47

makes d the correct answer because let's face it even

01:50

if you're not a gothic murderer Weird wiggly googly eyes 00:01:54.173 --> [endTime] are really creepy Well
