1. What is the author's attitude towards the action or events?
- the narator was done by Ivan himself, you could see that Ivan really love Varenka.
2. Is the story humorous or tragic or frightening Does the author want you to laugh, or cry, to feel happy or sad, to experience anger or fear?- i think this story ended sadly, because the guy fell in love with this girl but the girl does not reurn his feeling and also he finds out that her father is a colonel who likes to make other people's lives miserable. I think the author just wants us feel bad for him, and as for experience i think it would be anger fear and it makes me want to cry.
3. What is the author's attitude towards character or the narrator? Does the author like or dislike, trust or mistrust the characters or the narrator?- i have no idea, because he didnt really tell how he feel.

Imagery(After the ball)
1. everyone was shocked because when he describe Varenka, he used the word like majestic, bold, extra and odinary beat. he made everyone who was hearing feel the passion he had towards Varenka. After reading this story and finiding out what happened in the end still makes i feel disappointed because the way he described her showed that he may still have a little part of him that still loves her.
2. At first it made me feel wriggle because it was really poor then I realized that this man was in love and half of the time what he was saying made no sense to me. but it also made me feel this story was a romantic story.
3. i felt like wriggle because it was too cheesy and it was really adorable. But mostly i think this was with hearing because i imagined this story like the movies, when like someone is getting interviewed and they have flashbacks.
The author probably wanted us to know about the passion Ivan felt for Varenka. And i did feel the sense of lust in it.
