If such a furious trope may stand, his special lunacy stormed his general sanity, and carried it, and turned all its concentred

cannon upon its own mad mark; so that far from having lost his strength, Ahab, to that one end, did now possess a thousand fold more potency than ever he had sanely brought to bear upon any one reasonable object. What is the meaning of this excerpt?

In this excerpt of Moby D*, Ahab has lost his strength, he is weary and exhausted, but hid madness, his desperate desire of revenge strengthen him and keeps him moving forward.

(Sorry for the spelling in the title's book, it seems to be a curse)

To explain the fragment we should pay attention to the name of the character: Ahab. It means uncle in Hebrew and is well known because A. Melville used in his novel 'Moby D-i.c.k' (1851).

In the fragment, we read a detailed description of the emotion of the character. This emotion envolved Ahab at a precise moment in which he apparently faces death. He feels a mad force, some power only comparable to the resistance of an entire army troop.

The narrative construction uses a third-person narrator, which reveals the feelings that Ahab experienced. It is a moment of great narrative tension, possibly the passage that begins the end of the story.

Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

The details about sugar's dependency on slavery help inform readers about why sugar was inexpensive.

Explanation:

In this text, the author explains that sugar was a cheap commodity during this time period. This was the case despite the fact that sugar was produced thousands of miles away. The main idea of this excerpt is that sugar was such an inexpensive good because it relied on slavery. By using free labor, production costs were kept extremely low, allowing for sugar to be inexpensive, and therefore, popular all over the world.

Has anyone ever read "The Secret Garden" by Frances Hodgson Burnett. If so can you help me? QUESTION IN DETAILS
marissa [1.9K]
I have! It's one of my favorite books. I'd say the theme is centered around the saying, "home is where the heart is." and plays on the magic of childhood. In Mr. Craven, his stern brother, and Mary’s parents, readers have found evidence of a failed and fallen adult world. When Mary first arrives at <span>Misselthwaite in winter, she's spoiled rotten and downright rude. But she begins to garden. And when her flowers sprout in the spring, so does Mary's heart of gold. Hope that helps you! </span>
