For the first question we say that is an absolute phrase because it combinesa noun and a participle with any acompanying modifier or object. For the second question we can see that the mood of this oart of the passage os dreary as it describes fog and many creepy and sad situations related to it. And for the 3rd question we can say it is a slow pace, even there are many sentences, he takes the time to describe or give more information to the reader for many of the sentences of this paragraph, something that surely cannot be told in a fast pace
Answer:
On Christmas Day, Mr. Tonto received a call from Sakasaka police station asking for him to go to the station.
The narrator (Mr. Tonto´s daughter or son) accompanied him in the car ride, and ten minutes later they arrived at the station.
There, an officer explained that the narrator´s elder brother had been arrested for having cocaine in his shop.
They asked if they were allowed to prove his innocence and the officer agreed.
Mr. Tonto then brought out a machine from his car to scan both his son's fingers and the fingerprints on the substance to prove they didn´t match so he was exonerated and freed.
Elie Wiesel, a Holocaust survivor and the 1986 Nobel Peace Prize stands in front of a room full of important government people; he wants his audience to recognize that being indifferent is not the same as being innocent – indifference, “after all, is more dangerous than anger or hatred”.
He forces the listeners to wonder which kind of people they are. To him, during the Holocaust, people fit into one of “three simple categories: the killers, the victims, and the bystanders” and he forces the bystanders to decide whether or not to stay indifferent to the actual situation. He takes the time to list various actual civil wars and humanitarian crises (line 17 of his speech) and contrast them with WWII.
He makes sure that his audience realise what is at stake “Indifference, then, is not only a sin, it is a punishment” [for mankind]. He wants the audience to be really affected by what they hear – so he talks to them in their condition of human being: “Is it necessary at times to practice [indifference] simply to … enjoy a fine meal and a glass of wine”. And he also talks to them as government people with their duty and the power they have over the actual conflicts. He wants them to compare themselves with their predecessors during WWII: “We believed that the leaders of the free world did not know what was going on … And now we knew, we learned, we discovered that the Pentagon knew, the State Department knew.”
Wiesel finishes his speech by expressing hope for the new millennium. We believed he addresses these final words to those who will refuse to stay indifferent. But it seems that Wiesel would count them in the minority: “Some of them -- so many of them -- could be saved.” probably refers to this minority.
