2)At the beginning the writer is known as someone who is very mean as he did not help the girl who just cut her hands,then the writer wrote about the man father who teaches him that the grandmother needed more than they does,he does not empathize with people plight and close his eyes ,ears and heart to other people's sufferings,telling himself that if he could not help then he does not have to feel so bad.At the end he showed a totally different side of him which is sharing and also helping.
3)There are a few internal conflict in the story,for example when the girl cut her hands he was in a dilema at one point to buy the coral or help her as they could not buy it to protect the sea.Another internal conflict is when he realises that he pitied the children plight at vietnam then he started to open his heart he realises that its pity that made a human and in the end it was resolve because he pitied the girl and shared the fruits with her as he understood her plight and sympathizes with her.

1)My impression as i read the passage is that this guy is a mysterious and secretive guy,this is because at the starting of the story he said "i've got to hide",it shows that he is hiding from someone and he seems creepy.
Secondly,it shows that he is a very clever man,the passage shows that he got to hide from getting caught by the police,he went inside an open manhole ,"he hatched a tentative plan",he has already decided on a plan to enter the manhole after the sirens went .
Thirdly,he is a determined person.Evidence is that "He hung for an eternal moment"he tried his best to grip on to the rims so that he doesn't fall or hurt himself in the drain.
2)He uses words like "dark corner of the vestibule",and also "he stiffened as the siren rose" is the words that he uses to instilled fear in the mood of the text.It shows that the man in the story is facing a dark,place where it is surrounded by the police cars.
3)The mood in the text is very creepy and scary as there is a lot of suspense in the storyline.The starting of the story,the criminal was already searching for a place to hide so it has created the suspense and has brought in the tension in the story,as the story progressed the writer told about how he entered the dark and dirty drain to hide from the police.
4)He uses places in his story to make it more scary,as in the shops,the drain which has a huge water rushing and make it more scary.
