Mr. Utterson the lawyer was a man of a rugged countenance, that was never lighted by a smile; cold, scanty and embarrassed in discourse; backward in sentiment; lean, long, dusty, dreary, and yet somehow lovable. At friendly meetings, and when the wine was to his taste, something eminently human beaconed from his eye; something indeed which never found its way into his talk, but which spoke not only in these silent symbols of the after-dinner face, but more often and loudly in the acts of his life. He was austere with himself; drank gin when he was alone, to mortify a taste for vintages; and though he enjoyed the theatre, had not crossed the doors of one for twenty years. But he had an approved tolerance for others; sometimes wondering, almost with envy, at the high pressure of spirits involved in their misdeeds; and in any extremity inclined to help rather than to reprove.
"I incline to, Cain's heresy*," he used to say. "I let my brother go to the devil in his quaintly 'own way.'" In this character, it was frequently his fortune to be the last reputable acquaintance and the last good influence in the lives of down-going men. And to such as these, so long as they came about his chambers, he never marked a shade of change in his demeanour.
No doubt the feat was easy to Mr. Utterson; for he was undemonstrative at the best, and even his friendship seemed to be founded in a similar catholicity of good-nature. It is the mark of a modest man to accept his friendly circle ready-made from the hands of opportunity; and that was the lawyer's way. His friends were those of his own blood or those whom he had known the longest; his affections, like ivy, were the growth of time, they implied no aptness in the object. Hence, no doubt, the bond that united him to Mr. Richard Enfield, his distant kinsman, the well-known man about town. It was a nut to crack for many, what these two could see in each other, or what subject they could find in common. It was reported by those who encountered them in their Sunday walks, that they said nothing, looked singularly dull, and would hail with obvious relief the appearance of a friend. For all that, the two men put the greatest store by these excursions, counted them the chief jewel of each week, and not only set aside occasions of pleasure, but even resisted the calls of business, that they might enjoy them uninterrupted.
*The biblical story of Cain and Abel is a story about two brothers who gave offerings to God. Abel’s offering was accepted by God, but Cain’s was not. Jealous, Cain killed his brother. When God asked Cain where Abel was, Cain said, "Am I my brother’s keeper?" By saying this, Cain implied that what his brother did was his own business. (Genesis 4:1-16)

Summarize, in your own words, the way Perseus feels in Sample A. Use details from the text to support your answer.

Sample A

Perseus sat there in disbelief as the weight of the information his mother just told him sunk in. His perception of what was real and what was make–believe shattered before him. His mother, Danae, silently got up from the table and made her way to the window. As she slowly pulled the curtains back, the bright sun's rays began to fill the room. The sunlight seemed to ease the mood immediately. Perseus went from letting rage and anger fester inside, to a calm and cool demeanor. Once all the information had settled, he took a few deep breaths and cleared his throat.

"Mother, I do not understand your intentions behind keeping this secret from me. For years, I have begged you to see how I was different than everybody else. You would reassure me that it was all in my head and I should keep moving forward," complained Perseus.

"It was not a secret that was meant for your ears. It was a secret that I intended to keep to myself." Danae answered. "The only reason that I told you now was because I was worried of the risk it may have on you in the future!"

Perseus quickly snapped, "Every child deserves to know if they are different, special even. Every child deserves the truth."

Anger had overcome him once again, as he rapidly pushed back his chair and made his way for the door. Before shutting the door behind him, Perseus quickly glanced at his mother. Although he knew that he already forgave her for keeping that secret, he just needed some time away to fully comprehend what all this means.

Perseus sprinted for the nearby dock, the only place that he felt safe when he needed to escape his surroundings. He sat there in disbelief while he splashed the water around with his feet. The sunlight on the water created a glare that was hypnotizing him. Lost in his own train of thought, Perseus quickly stood up. As he was about to jump in the water, he whispered to himself, "I am capable of doing the impossible, for I am the son of the god Zeus."
