Which theme of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s “The Adventure of the Speckled Band” is expressed in this excerpt from the story?

"Were there gipsies in the plantation at the time?"

"Yes, there are nearly always some there."

"Ah, and what did you gather from this allusion to a band—a speckled band?"

"Sometimes I have thought that it was merely the wild talk of delirium, sometimes that it may have referred to some band of people, perhaps to these very gipsies in the plantation. I do not know whether the spotted handkerchiefs which so many of them wear over their heads might have suggested the strange adjective which she used."

Question 5 (10 points)
Read the following poem and answer the question that follows.
"O Captain my Captain by Walt Whitman
O Captain my Captaint our fearful trip is done
The ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is won
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring
But heart heart heart!

O the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.
O Captaint my Captaint rise up and hear the bells
Rise up for you the flag is flung for you the bugle trills
For you bouquets and ribbon'd wreaths for you the shores a crowding
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning
Here Captain dear father!
This arm beneath your head;
It is some dream that on the deck,
You've fallen cold and dead,
My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still
My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will:
The ship is anchor'd safe and sound, its voyage closed and done;
From fearful trip, the victor ship, comes in with object wong
Exult, Oshores, and ring O bells!
But I, with mournful tread,
Walk the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.

The skin I'm in {Chapter 19 & 20}
Why does Miss Saunders get upset when she is talking to Tai?

At which point in the story does the reader learn that Farquhar has died?

"if you can keep your head when all about you

are losing theirs blaming it on you,

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or being lied about, don't deal in the lies,

Or being hated, don't give away to hating,

And yet don't look to good, nor talk to wide:

If you can dream-and not make dreams your master;

If you can think-and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

And treat those two imposters just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools.

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them: "Hold o"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

Or walk with Kings-nor lose the common touch,

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,

If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,

Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,

And-which is more- you'll be a man, my son."
