Answer:
1.The waves symbolize the Seventh's Man's fear.
2After he rediscovers K.'s water colors, what does the seventh man do with them? The seventh man takes a good, concentrated look at the watercolor paintings that K. had given him. In his own words he explains, "I opened the bundle again and forced myself to take a long, hard look at K.'s watercolors."
3. K.'s watercolors symbolize the great, and warm memories that the seventh man had with K. during the duration that they spent as best friends before the traumatic event. When you paraphrase, you restate a text in your own words.
4. "I found myself in warm memories." Paraphrase the seventh man's comments about fear in the story's final paragraph. He is saying in very wise words that you should not be fearful of being fearful of something.
5.As the story unfolds and the seventh man comes to peace with his constant blame and grief and also eliminates his fear of the ocean, we see that the best way to deal with fear is to face it rather than turn our backs on it and let it slowly overtake us.
6. Although the seventh man did not die, he did not truly escape the wave because for forty long years, he dealt with imagining the traumatizing image of his best friend K. being swallowed by the giant wave, and continuously had nightmares down to the smallest detail about his experience.
This question is missing the options. I've found them online. They are the following:
How does the use of the word “twitches” in the stage direction most affect this scene?
A. It characterizes Hale as someone who is weak and cannot handle difficult aspects of the job.
B. It emphasizes the fact that death is a difficult subject for Mr. hale and causes him discomfort.
C. It hints to the reader that Hale may have somehow been involved and is acting out of guilt.
D. It reveals to the reader that Hale is extremely upset because he and Mr. Wright were very close.
Answer:
The use of the word “twitches” in the stage direction most affects this scene because:
B. It emphasizes the fact that death is a difficult subject for Mr. hale and causes him discomfort.
Explanation:
In this excerpt from the play Trifles, by Susan Glaspell, Harry and Hale have found Mr. Wright's body. The stage direction, combined with Hale's speech, shows that death is a difficult subject for him. He is simply explaining what he first thought of doing once they found the body. But, just at the mere memory of looking at the body, Mr. Hale's face twitches. That stage direction is given purposefully, to make it clear to readers/the audience that seeing Mr. Wright, dead, bothered Hale.
