Error Correction Exercise: Brontë's Atmosphere
It was a calmy evening, the sky painted with hues of orange and purple, as the wind whisperd through the trees. Elizabeth stood at the window, watching the shadows lengthen across the garden, feeling a strange sense of foreboding. The houses, which once seemed welcoming, now appeard distant and cold, their windows like dark, watchful eyes. She could hear the distant owl hooting, a sound that seem to echo in the stillness of the night. The air was thick with silence, broken only by the rustling leaves and the occasional crack of a branch under the weight of the breeze.
