Christos KalohoridisSo youve just gotten to the end of Netflixs exciting new show, Locke and Key. Exciting, right? You may have just finished watching all ten episodes of the Joe Hill series, but as soon as the credits of that last episode start rolling, youve probably got some questions. Our advice? First, take some time and revisit the shows soundtrack—it rules. After that, take a deep breath. OK. Question time, now: first, when do we get more? When will the Savini Squad return? And second: what the hell just happened? And while we dont quite have an answer for you on the first one just yet, we do think we can be of assistance for the second. Whats happening with Gabe and Eden? What was that at the end? When the final confrontation between Dodge and the Lockes seemed to happen with about 20 minutes left in the episode, you may have suspected that there would be more to this story—and you were right. As we learned in the closing moments of Locke and Keys first season, Gabe has been a version of DodgeLucas (using the Identity Key) all along, putting his interest in the keys and using them (especially so when compared to Scot) into perspective (it also puts his cruelty toward Eden into perspective too, huh? His actually being a demon, and all). A major question worth wondering...did Gabe ever exist at all? Did whoever the woman we know as Dodge ever exist? Perhaps questions well find out the answers to in the future. As we learned in the final few episodes, Lucas was originally possessed in the past when Rendell Locke opened the Black Door and he was hit by a striking beam of light. When Tyler, Bode, Kinsey, and the rest of the gang head down, at first we dont see anyone get hit. But a flashback in the closing moments show that Eden was indeed hit in the arm by the blasts of light. As the episode closes and we see Gabe and Eden grinning at one another with enormous breakfasts (like Dodge had when she first escaped from the well), it tells us that going forward, things for the Lockes arent going to get any easier. Dodge has got help now. What happened to Ellie? After Ellie helped the Lockes, telling them about the past, and Lucas plan, we saw her return to her house, but never come back. A flashback showed that once home she was actually attacked by Lucas (along with Rufus). LucasDodge used the Identity Key on Ellie to make her appear as Dodge, and then knocked her out, leaving her on the floor of the Key House. Thats right: that means Ellie was thrown out into the abyss behind the Black Door, while Dodge runs free. Its scary for our heroes, because it means their biggest enemy is still at large: and they have no idea.

In season two, saving Ellie will probably be a major motivation for the heroes of the story. What about Sam Lasser? Poor Sam. The show only briefly touched on Sams backstory, but he was clearly a deeply troubled kid simply looking for anyone who would accept him. What he did to Rendell was obviously unacceptable, and holding the Locke family hostage was...well, not cool. But his comeuppance, being trapped for (seemingly) eternity outside of his body on the grounds of Key House? Not good. He did kill that prison guard, and probably a lot more prisoners too, though. Not OK. Sorry, Sam. Given his proximity to the Key House, though, it seems like a strong possibility that his story isnt over just yet. What could Season 2 of Locke and Key have in store for Sam? We will see. Evan is the culture editor for Mens Health, with bylines in The New York Times, MTV News, Brooklyn Magazine, and VICE.

If not, go back, answer the questions and then head back here and find out what youve gotten right and what you may have missed. If youre curious about what authors tone really is and wondering how to figure it out, here are three of the tricks you can use to determine the authors tone when you dont have a clue.Feel free to use these free printable pdf files for your own educational use, too:Authors Tone Worksheet 1 | Authors Tone Worksheet 1 Answer Key 1. What does the author most likely want to convey through the use of the phrase ready consent to terms and a couple of coins flung upon the table? A. The strangers lack of manners and thoughtfulness. B. The strangers desire to quickly get to his room. C. The strangers greediness in bartering. D. The strangers discomfort.The correct answer is B. The stranger is desperate for warmth. We know that because hes covered in snow and asks for human charity, which we can only assume is because hes cold. So even though we know he is uncomfortable, the correct answer is NOT D. The author uses the words ready consent, which means eager or quickly willing consent and coins flung upon the table to indicate a hurried pace. Yes, we know its because hes uncomfortable, but the phrases indicate speed. 2. The authors attitude toward mothers trying to arrange marriages for their daughters could best be described as:A. accepting of the notionB. irritated with the notionC. astonished by the notionD. amused by the notionThe correct answer is D. Even if we read nothing beyond the first line, wed get the sense that the author was slightly amused by the subject matter. The author further makes the scene amusing by pitting a complacent husband against his busybody wife. Austen depicts the mother as meddling, gossiping, and impatient. If Austen were irritated by the idea, shed make the mother more unlikable. If she were astonished by the idea, then shed make the husband act aghast when Mrs. Bennet brings it up. If she were accepting of the idea, then she probably wouldnt have written about it in a witty way. Hence, Choice D is the best bet. 3. What tone is the author most likely trying to convey with the sentence, It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife. A. satiric B. scornful C. reproachful D. wearyThe correct answer is A. This speaks to the tone of the excerpt as a whole. Shes sarcastic about societys notion of marrying young women off to wealthy men. Her overreaching statement, a truth universally acknowledged is an example of hyperbole, which is an exaggerated statement not meant to be taken literally. And although she may personally be reproachful or scornful of the idea, her tone does not convey it in this satire. 4. Which of the following choices provides the best answer to the authors final question posed in the text, while maintaining the tone of the article?A. It could be that Id fallen into a nightmare without knowing it. B. It had to be the dreariness of the day. Nothing about the house itself was particularly depressing.C. The solution defied me. I couldnt get at the heart of my displeasure.D. It was a mystery I couldnt solve; nor could I grapple with the shadowy fancies that crowded upon me as I pondered. The correct choice is D. Here, the answer must closely mirror the language in the text. The words used by Poe are complicated, as is his sentence structure. Choice B and Ds sentence structure is too simple and Choice Bs answer is incorrect based on the text. Choice A seems logical until you place it up against Choice D, which uses a complex structure and language similar to that already in the text.5. Which emotion is the author most likely trying to rouse from his reader after reading this text? A. hatred B. terror C. apprehension D. depressionThe correct choice is C. Although the character feels depression upon viewing the house, Poe is trying to make the reader feel apprehension in the scene. Whats going to come up? If he were trying to make the reader feel depressed, he would have spoken to something more personal. And he wasnt trying to terrify the reader in this scene, either. He wouldve used scarier content instead of relying on the dark, depressing words and phrases he does. And Choice A is completely off! Hence, Choice C is the best answer.
