The theme of death is constant in Hemingway's stories, in this particular one we can clearly deduct that the tragedy is not that the hero Schatz is foomed but that he believes himself to be doomed when he is in fact perfectly fine.

Schatz heroism is demonstrated through his words and actions, the abrupt change in his demeanor between day one and the next day being the most dramatic manifestation of it.

Another element is his father's behavior which unintentionally affects and worsens Schatz' mental turmoil. The justapoxition of his father behavior and Schatz' self controlled and tragic stoicism is exactly what Hemingway so cleverly used to portray the main character's heroism.


Hope this helps!

Review the meanings of current on the left. Which
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Jay turned off the current before taking apart the

outlet.

The current from the overhead wire caused sparks

to fly.

Explanation:

When words are spelled or pronounced in the same way but have different meanings, they are called homonyms.

One of homonyms is the word "current" which can mean:

- something happening at the present time

- a movement of  body of water in a certain direction

- the flow of electrical energy

In the first answer, the outlet is a device whose purpose is to connect electrical devices to an electrical supply (plugging it in the socket). So, it's electrical current.

In the second answer, it denotes the moving of the water

In the third answer, it means that Todd's present roommate in neat.

In the fourth answer, since it comes from a wire and causes a spark, it denotes electrical current.

Finally, since Vanya is in the river, it denotes a flow of the water.
