I. Classify the following examples of represented speech into represented inner and represented uttered speech.
1. He looked at the distant green wall. It would be a long walk in this rain, and a muddy one. He was tired and he was depressed. His toes squelched in bis shoes. Anyway; what would they find? Lot of trees.
2. I shook her as hard as I could. I'd done it in play before, when she'd asked me to hurt her, please hurt her; but this time I was in brutal earnest...
3. He held the cigarette in his mouth, tasting it, feeling its roundness, for a long time before he lit it. Then with a sigh, feeling, well, I’ve earned it, he lit the cigarette.
4. She hadn't wanted to marry him or anyone else, for that matter, unless it was someone like her father. But there was no one like her father. No one she had ever seen. So, oh, well, what's the diff! You have to get married some time.
II. Discuss lexical and graminatical phenomena characterizing represented inner speech.
1. Then he would bring her back with him to New-York — he, Eugene Witla, already farnous in the East. Already the lure of the big eastern city was in his mind, its palaces, its wealth, its fame. It was the great world he knew, this side of Paris and London. He would go to it now, shortly. What would he be there? How great? How soon? So he dreamed.
2. Angela looked at him with swimming eyes. He was really different from anything she had ever known, young, artistic, imaginative, ambitious. He was going out into a world which she had longed for but never hoped to see — that of art. Here one was telling her of his prospective art studies, and talking of Paris. What a wonderful thing!
3. Oh, love, love! Edward! Edward! Oh, he would not, could not remain away. She must see him — give him a chance to explain. She must make him understand that it was not want of love but fear of life — her father, everything, everybody — that kept her so sensitive, aloof, remote.
III. Indicate characteristic features of represented uttered speech.
1. I then found a couple of stale letters to reread, one from my wife ... and one from my mother-in-law, asking me to please send her some cashmere yarn.
2. The Mayor of Maycomb asked us to please help the garbage collector by dumping our own trees and trash.
3. Angela, who was taking in every detail of Eugene's old friend, replied in what seemed an affected tone that no, she wasn’t used to studio life: she was just from the country, you know — a regular farmer girl — Blackwood, Wisconsin, no less!
4. Rosita sniffed and in her well-bottom voice declared that yes, it was better that they stay out of the sun, as it seemed to be affecting Ottilie’s head.

5. Certainly he had seen nobody remotely resembling the photograph of Gowan. Was there anybody at all like what Gowan would be if clean-shaven? Well, there now, that was asking something that was. Had the Inspector any idea what a 'edge-'og would look like without its spikes?
6. …the servants summoned by the passing maid without a bell being rung, and quick, quick, let all this luggage be taken down into the hall and let one of you call a cab.
7. He kept thinking he would write to her — he had no other girl acquaintance now; and just before he entered art school he did this, penning a little note saying that he remembered so pleasantly their ride; and when was she coming?
8. “... So I've come to be servant to you.”
