The correct answer is the first one: Melville is building a mood of suspense.


Long before Ahab appears in the story, there is an atmosphere of mystery about the captain of the ship. The owners call in the crew in while Ahab is absent. Ishmael is told that Ahab is a man of few words but deep meaning; from the first moment, it is clear that the captain has a complicated personality. He is an "ungodly, god-like" man who has attended colleges as well as he has been among cannibals. Ahab is ungodly because he refuses to submit to a higher power. He does not worship or even acknowledge that there are forces beyond himself. Ahab is god-like in the sense that he represents a higher power; perhaps he even wants to be considered as a God.


The mystery is deepened as Ahab remains in his cabin through the first days of the trip. Ishmael grows anxious, checking the area outside the captain's cabin whenever the narrator goes on watch. When Ahab finally appears, in this chapter 28, he is an imposing figure whose haunted look sends shivers Ishmael's spine.

Write an article about The importance of sports and games.<br>please answer quickly ​
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Education doesn't mean just learn what's written in the book. Eduction is everything we learn about. Sports and games are also really important in a student's life other than education. A child's health is really important. Through sports and games children can really improve the health.

Games not only improve a child's health but also mentally builds a child. Playing sports and games gives child mental health. It gives self confidence and team spirit. They are also the part of education.

Now a days children are lacking behind in sports and games. What parents give importance the most is for studies. They forget that the child's health is also important. But now the schools try their level best to ensure the child's physical and mental health. They give games nd physical education training to the children.

Playing games gives happiness to the children. While playing games children mingle with new students and become close to everyone. They develop skills while playing. Which can further go to higher plays. Children should be sent out and allowed to play. A student can learn properly only if they are mentally well. And playing helps them to be mentally healthy.

So games and sports must become a part in the students life. If we give little more encouragement to the students who are interested in sports then they can achieve high. They will give name and fame to our country. Sports and games are a part of student's life.

Hope this helps you.....^-^
