Read the passage from the novel Moby-D ick. How does the author use the wind here to tell the reader more about the main charact

er, Captain Ahab?
From Moby-D ick

“And yet, I say again, and swear it now, that there’s something all glorious and gracious in the wind. These warm trade winds, at least, that in the clear heavens blow straight on, in strong and steadfast, vigorous mildness; and veer not from their mark, however the baser currents of the sea may turn and tack, and mightiest Mississippis of the land swift and swerve about, uncertain where to go at last. And by the eternal poles! these same trades that so directly blow my good ship on; these trades, or something like them—something so unchangeable, and full as strong, blow my keeled soul along!”



a) Captain Ahab is certain that, should he die pursuing the white whale, his soul will ascend to heaven.

b) Captain Ahab feels justified and confident in his unwavering pursuit of the white whale.

c) Captain Ahab is worried that unfavorable winds might cause him to fail to find the white whale.

d) Captain Ahab is glad that the strong trade winds are helping him catch up with the white whale.

Breaking the word "Mustn't" between the "t" and the "n"... A) violates the poem's rhyme scheme B) creates an example of onomatop
kompoz [17]

Answer:

The objective of the question is somewhat unclear.

Explanation:

A) It's impossible to tell whether or not the poem's rhyme scheme is being violated. This is because we don't have a reference to the poem where the word was used.

B) The word "Mustn't" is not an example of Onomatopoeia. Onomatopoeia refers to words which when used sound like the object being described. This creates more expression and color in the literature where it is used.

Some examples of Onomatopoeia are:

  1. Zoom
  2. Zing
  3. Belch
  4. Boom
  5. Clang

C) End-Stopping refers to a poetic device that entails a pause at the end of a unit of syntax. A syntactic unit may be a sentence, phrase, or clause.

An example of an end-stopped line is given below:

How can I compare you to a sunny day?

You are more resplendent and lovely:

D) Mustn't only means one thing: "Must Not"

So the word is a contraction of two words: Must and Not.

Contractions are used in the English Language for informal conversations. They are inappropriate for formal correspondences.

Cheers
