What is the theme of the story Rogue Wave by Theodore Taylor?
Kruka [31]
The power of a short story, such as “Rogue Wave,” comes from its actions and events. Most stories follow a series of events, also known as the ​plot​. A story centers around the c​ onflict​, the struggle between opposing forces. As the characters struggle to resolve a conflict, the plot builds suspense, the growing tension and excitement felt by the reader. Most plots have five stages:
★ The ​exposition ​introduces the characters and presents the setting and conflict.
★ The​ rising action​ presents complications that intensify.
★ The ​climax ​is the story’s moment of greatest interest - the point where the conflict of resolved.
★ In the ​falling action​, the story begins to draw to a close.
★ The ​resolution ​reveals the final outcome of the conflict.
Often the plot is influenced by the setting, or the time and place of the action. For example, the setting can cause plot complications. In “Rogue Wave,” Sully notes that as evening comes, the fading light could hamper his rescue efforts. To understand the influence of setting on the plot in “Rogue Wave,” find details that tell where and when the events are happening. Use those details to visualize the setting and follow the action.
Exposition:
Sully is outside the capsized boat where there is plenty of light and air. But he wants to get into the boat to free his sister. Scoot is below in the darkness with limited air. She wants to get to the surface. So, the settings separate the two characters, underscoring the external conflict.
Rising Action:
Scoot is in total darkness, so she can’t see what she’s doing or where things are. She has a headache. She finally realizes that the cabin where she is trapped is upside down, which makes her disoriented. Finally, when she tries to open the entry doors, she can’t.
Climax:
Sully is finally giving up hope. Scoot is on her sixth dive. She gives one final push “with all her strength” and the skylight finally opens! Scoot is almost out of breath - about to lose consciousness - but has resolved her conflict.
Falling Action: Resolution:
Sully answers Stevens’s question with just two words:
“rogue wave.” Stevens winces and nods because that is all he needs to hear - a rogue wave is so sudden and destructive, it goes without saying that it causes massive problems.
... Sully and Scoot survive the “Rogue Wave

What argument did Andrew Jackson used to persuade people that the Indian removal act was a good decision
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

A. American Indians will be allowed to practice their own culture and live the way they want.

Explanation:

President Andrew Jackson actually signed The Indian Removal Act into law in 1830. The Removal Act met opposition; some tribes actually removed peacefully while some resisted the policy and were forced out. The Removal Act actually authorizes the president to grant lands in Mississippi in exchange for Indian lands.

The American Indians were removed in order to have their laws sovereign without any interference. President Jackson's argument in persuading people that the Act was good was that it will allow the American Indians practice their own culture and have the liberty to live as they want.

Read the excerpt from President Kennedy's address at Rice University on the Nation's Space Effort: No man can fully grasp how fa
erik [133]

Kennedy's speech is very persuasive as it appeals to the emotions and national pride of the audience. First of all, we have to take into consideration the context in which this speech was delivered. Kennedy pronounced this words on September 12th of 1962, amidst the Cold War and only a year after the Berlin wall had been built. President Kennedy was then in a difficult position in which he had to both keep the spirits of the population up and transmit a sense of safety and control in front of the growing threat of Communism. Also, he had to demonstrate both authority and humility in order to contrast with the authoritarian methods of the communist regimes.

In order to achieve this, he used both rhetoric and evidence. Kennedy lists a set of milestones for humanity and scientific development and places the landing of an unmanned spacecraft into Venus as the latest, most recent achievements. In this way, by deciding to scale down all of the achievements of humanity to a unit of time that is easy to grasp and understand, such as 50 years, Kennedy places the United States as a small but yet important cog in the advancement of humanity and traces a line of continuity between the early pioneers who "conquered" the country and these new pioneers (both in scientific and military power) that are meant to conquer space. These choices are in line with the objective of the speech, that is to present America as a powerful yet humanistic nation in front of the enemy, who was portrayed as dictatorial and merciless.

By establishing this parallelism between those who "moved forward" in the past to conquer the country (especially in Texas, the land of Stephen Fuller Austin and the Old Three Hundred) and those who were "moving forward" at that time to conquer space, he traces a continuity between the original spirit of the nation and the current spirit that had to be maintain in order to face the "new ills (...), new ignorance, new problems, new dangers" that were a result (either direct or indirect) of the Cold War.

To sum up, Kennedy's speech succeeds at engaging an audience that is both in awe and afraid of the state of affairs of the world at that time. The space race worked as an agglutinant force to bring the nation together to admire the marvelous advancement of technology and, at the same time, served as a demonstration of power that attempted to sooth the fears of the population, who were afraid of the potential threat of the USSR.
