Answer: |
The whisper of harsh Burmese syllables contributed to the overall atmosphere or mood of the scene by adding a sense of tension and unease. The harshness of the language and the urgency of the woman's demands created a feeling of conflict and danger. It also highlighted the cultural divide between Flory and Ma Hla May, emphasizing the difficulties of their relationship. |
