In this  classical novel, the captain wears a prothesis in his leg made out of whalebone ivory because a white whale that gave the name to the book, destroyed his leg in an earlier incident.

The suffering that Captain Ahab has it's not only physical, it is emotional, not having his leg, means that he has lost part of his manhood. It's a symbol for energy and determination, that he finally one day he will go back and hunt the whale and get even because of that incident.

'I am offering this poem to' how does writer present the speakers feeling of love
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

In the poem, the writer presents the speakers feeling of love by showing that throughout the rough time they are in, the poem is a feeling of warmth for them. The speaker is supposedly giving the poem to someone they care about to help them get through the hard times and to show they care. Whenever it states "to warm your belly in winter, it is a scarf for your head..." it shows us readers that the speaker is trying to provide a form of protection to their loved ones heart.
