Answer: It reveals Ahab’s commitment to his mission for revenge.

In this passage, the speaker is describing the impact that Ahab caused when meeting him for the first time. He describes his white, whalebone leg, and how he fashioned it out of a sperm whale's jaw. He also describes how there was an auger hole on the deck, upon which Ahab would steady his leg. He would stand there and look out beyond the prow for hours on end. The speaker also describes his attitude of determination and wilfullness. All of these elements contribute to showing how commited Ahab was to his mission.

Which best describes the diction in "ain't i a woman?"
yanalaym [24]
The essay "Ain't I a Woman" is quite impressive. For me, it says that the writer is fed up of being a slave and being treated as a second class citizen in the society. She had many children and they were all sold off into slavery. As for me, I would have not been able to continue on after having one taken from me.
