Roosevelt means that a <em>muck-raker</em> - a journalist- is that person interested in dirt or filthy things - <em>muck</em>-. That person will do anything to get filthy information and to get it,  he / she will use a  <em>rake </em>to scratch the soil - or reality -  to pick up or invent the dark side of  humans. Roosevelt is furious because a group of journalists have disclosed controversial issues from his government. He shows his anger through   this speech on "The Man with the Muck- Rake" (1906).

According to Pi, why does the hyena not eat him or the zebra immediately?
Anvisha [2.4K]
"Pi hears snarls coming from the hyena and barks from the zebra, as well as wet mouth sounds". "Still the animals do not come near him. He hears sounds from under the boat and notes that the animals in the water are also battling for life." "After that first full night in the lifeboat, the sun rises, and Pi's thoughts turn to rescue and seeing his family again. But when he looks into the lifeboat, he sees an appalling sight: the hyena has bitten off the zebra's broken leg and is eating it. The zebra is alive, still silent but grinding his teeth." I feel like the hyena was waiting for the right time, to attack the zebra. And that the hyena didn't wanna attack him because someone could find him when it is light outside because it said " In the dark, a rescue ship won't be able to spot him, and the animals might attack him.

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

first person to show a single perspective.

to tell an old story from a new point of view.

with Grendel acting as a first-person narrator.

Explanation:

The narrator is also the main character and the pronoun "I" is the one most used, so the story is told in the first person. So we can see now how an old story is different when told from someone else's perspective, in this case, Grendel's.
