The theme of the novel that this excerpt best address is "Man and the natural world". In other words, how humans can see animals as a terrible monster for their own benefit. In this chapter, in particular, there are some rumors of Moby D. circulating among the whalemen, rumors that tend to put Moby D. as the most terrible monster of them all, capable of maiming and killing anyone, an evil creature (<em>malicious</em>) that will kill if he encounters anyone on his path. Also, Ahab talks about Moby D. as the worst and cruelest monster.

It's important to know that Moby D. is not an ordinary whale, it is very large and strange looking, his whiteness is very particular and the same goes to his jaws that are misshapen. Even if it has these tremendous characteristics its still a whale but in this book it's more like a mystical and fantasy character. It usually hard to find even if it has very clear characteristics.

In the excerpt "<em>monomaniac</em>" means an irrational concern with a single idea or object. We can see this idea reflected on Ahab's behavior as he wants to hunt and kill Moby D. because it would be a symbolic victory against the cruelty of this monster.

What does Robert Frost accomplish by using blank verse in his poems?
lapo4ka [179]
Hey there!

The most common belief for why he did this was to promote originality. Most poets in that time used rhyming meters, and they still do today. In fact, you were probably taught rhyming meters in school - they follow rhythm and pattern that isn't subject to change.

Robert Frost wanted to break the rules. Considering the nonexistent popularity of the style he intended to use, he created an entire new type of poetry and writing by breaking the rules themselves. There was no rhyme, but there certainly was reason.

Hope this helps!

Today is more important than yesterday or tomorrow. do you agree or disagree justify​
OLga [1]

Answer:

I would probably have to disagree because we learn from what happened yesterday, and we will continue to grow tomorrow.  We should of course stay in the present and be mindful but it doesn't mean it is more important.  They are all equal imo.  We learn from our mistakes, even if it is just from yesterday, and if we already made them today, then tomorrow will be an opportunity to start afresh.  I don't know this is probably wrong :(
