In The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell, what are three examples Rains-ford shows calmness throughout the short story

English
1 answer:
IRINA_888 [86]3 years ago
4 0
Well, the first example that I can think is when Rainsford is standing on the deck of the yacht at night and he hears a gunshot. Trying to get a clearer look, Rainsford loses his balance and falls into the water. Rainsford doesn't try to swim back to the yacht (which is smart, as it would have been futile). The narrator states that "a certain coolheadedness had come to him; it was not the first time he had been in a tight place". Because he was able to stay calm, he was able to swim to Ship Trap Island. 
Later on, after General Zaroff had released Rainsford into the jungle, Rainsford kept telling himself repeatably "I must keep my nerve, I must keep my nerve". One final example is how Rainsford is able to keep calm during the hunt and think of ways to trick Zaroff. "An idea that held a wild chance came to him, and, tightening his belt, he headed away from the swamp".

Can anyone translate this stanza for me? - The Republican Genius of Europe by Philip Freneau
Elenna [48]

Answer:

it's already completed, but here's the whole poem:

Explanation:

The Republican Genius of Europe

Emporers and kings! in vain you strive

Your torments to conceal--

The age is come that shakes your thrones,

Tramples in dust despotic crowns,

And bids the sceptre fail.

In western worlds the flame began:

From thence to France it flew--

Through Europe, now, it takes its way,

Beams an insufferable day,

And lays all tyrants low.

Genius of France! pursue the chase

Till Reason’s laws restore

Man to be Man, in every clime;--

That Being, active, great, sublime

Debas’d in dust no more.

In dreadful pomp he takes his way

O’er ruin’d crowns, demolish’d thrones--

Pale tyrants shrink before his blaze--

Round him terrific lightenings play--

With eyes of fire, he looks then through,

Crushes the vile despotic crew,

And Pride in ruin lays.
