awesome thing from dom

1a) I think that the words for pejorative are mostly used for girls/women because usually back then they for example didn't allow women to vote until now but I think its the same with witch and wizard its just sexist
1b)I think all women should be treated how they want and that they should change it so a witch is also nice otherwise its basically sexist, girls and boys are o different.
1c)"this quote shows that girls and boys are exactly the same and that they should be treated the same.

2a)be a warning or indication of (a future event).
example in the story:
BED AND BREAKFAST, BED AND BREAKFAST. Each word was like a large black eye
staring at him through the glass, holding him, compelling him, forcing him to stay where he was and not to walk away from that house, and the next thing he knew, he was actually moving across from the window to the front door of the house, climbing the steps that led up to it, and reaching for the bell. 
here this shows that he's forcing himself to go into the place and that it was a bad idea.
3a) Swanky: that once upon a time they had been very Swanky residences
This means that once upon a time they had been very elegant residences.

3b)Congenial: On the other hand, a pub would be more congenial than a boardinghouse.
This is a very understandable sentence if you know what congenial means this sentence means on the other hand , a pub would be more suitable for your needs than a boardinghouse.

3c)rapacious:  rapacious landladies, and a powerful smell of kippers in the living room
This means greedy landladies.

3D) dither: After dithering about like this in the cold for two or three minutes, Billy decided that he would walk on and take a look at The Bell and Dragon before making up his mind. He turned to go.
This means after deciding.

3e) compelling: compelling him, forcing him to stay where he was and not to walk away from that house, and the next thing he knew, he was actually moving
This means this was forcing and making him want to go in and so he did.

3f)dotty: The old girl is slightly dotty
This means that she was slightly unusual.

3G) dainty: shaking her head and heaving a dainty little sigh
This means delicately beautiful little sigh

3h) tantalising:  nothing more tantalizing
This is like I desire.

3i) linger
There is nothing more tantalizing than a thing like this that lingers just outside the borders.
Than a thing like this that , just outside

4a) Imagery1)was like a flat blade of ice on his cheeks
This is imagery from the story this is imagery used to show the touch or feel.

5)the landlady has tried to poison the drink

6)when he finds out that the landlady isn't very nice and that she is trying to kill him.

7) I don't like the ending because it stops right there, I would like it to carry on because I enjoyed the tense moments.
