What does "Insanity is relative. It depends on who has who locked in what cage." mean?

Are there specific answer choices? This could be interpreted different ways. The way I see it is, insanity gives the feeling of being locked in a cage. But, it depends and varies on what kind of "cage", meaning what is it that traps this person, making them insane. What has driven them to that point, what makes them feel trapped. That is their cage. Many have different cages. Maybe stress, depression, or something specific going on in their lives. As far as "who has who locked" means that each situation differs by what place that person holds. Maybe they may be the one insane and locked in their cage, or they may be the one locking someone in a cage. Two different situations created by switching roles. Sorry, I'm probably not much help but this could mean many different things depending on your grade level and what exactly is needing to be understood, as well as how deep. I hope you find your answer ^^

It's an old figure of speech that asks us to question who's really insane: people who are called "insane" and locked up in asylums, or the society that locks them up

What does the author reveal about Scoot's character from her thoughts and actions while she is trapped in the cabin? Cite eviden

Alona [7]

Answer:

Scoot was not the type to give up when in danger. She was also a brave girl.

Explanation:

In the book 'Rogue Wave', we learn of a brother and sister who went on a ride in a sailboat. This was to serve as a fulfillment of the birthday wish of the fourteen-year-old girl, Scoot. However, they were faced with danger when the boat tilted downwards because of a giant wave that left Scoot trapped in the cabin while her brother Sully managed to get out.

Scoot was not downhearted when she realized that she was trapped. She made courageous efforts to get herself out including

1. holding on to a hull

2. shouting out for her brother

3. searching for a torchlight which she used to find her way around the cabin

4. diving into the water to find her footing on the ceiling ribs, and

5. hitting hard on the window to open it up eventually.
