In 2–3 complete sentences, thoroughly explain the protagonist's main motivation or goal in your Module One short story? What doe

Dafna11 [192]

In the short story "Condensed Milk," by Russian author Varlam Shalamov (1907-1982), the protagonist appears to have two main motivations: hunger and revenge.

The protagonist's name is never revealed. He is a prisoner at a Gulag, a Russian forced-labor camp. He is sick from exhaustion and starvation, and emotionally dulled to the lack of empathy and dignity of his condition.

When another prisoner, who is treated much better than the protagonist, offers him a chance to escape, the protagonist almost immediately realizes the whole thing is a trap. He lies to the man, tells him he agrees with escaping as long as he is brought some condensed milk to eat. At this moment, hunger seems to be the main motivation:

I fell asleep and in my ragged hungry dreams saw Shestakov's can of condensed milk, a monstrous can with sky-blue label.

When he is brought two cans, the protagonist drinks their contents to only then reveal he does not intend to participate in the plan. This where we find out about his need for revenge. He knows Shestakov is a traitor:

It was, of course, a weak, worthless act of vengeance just like all my feelings.

NOTE: I know the question asks only for two or three sentences, but I found it important to add context to the answer. Feel free to edit and shorten it.

Which best identifies the logical fallacy of this example

nata0808 [166]

This logical fallacy is called "ad hominem", which means "to the man" in latin. It means that, instead of debating about the specific question, you rather attack the person, in an attempt to discredit him and his words.

It is a logical fallacy because, when debating about anything, you should always and only talk about the actual point, instead of considering who said what.

If a serial killer claims that 2+2 equals 4, you can say something like "don't listen to him! He's a serial killer!". Yes, he may be one of the worst human being to have ever lived, but it doesn't change that this specific claim he made is true.

ANTONII [103]

One theme from Rikki Tikki Tavi would be courage. In Rudyard Kipling's story, Rikki has to fight two cobras, Nag and Nagaina, to protect his garden and Teddy. He is frightened of them because they are stronger and bigger than he is, but, knowing that he is a mongoose and meant to fight snakes, he overcomes his fear and fights them anyway. One line in the story to support this is "though Rikki-Tikki had never met a live cobra before, his mother had fed him on dead ones, and he knew that all a grown mongoose's business in life was to fight and eat snakes."
