Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

“An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” is an elaborately devised commentary on the fluid nature of time. The story’s structure, which moves from the present to the past to what is revealed to be the imagined present, reflects this fluidity as well as the tension that exists among competing notions of time. The second section interrupts what at first appears to be the continuous flow of the execution taking place in the present moment. Poised on the edge of the bridge, Farquhar closes his eyes, a signal of his slipping into his own version of reality, one that is unburdened by any responsibility to laws of time. As the ticking of his watch slows and more time elapses between the strokes, Farquhar drifts into a timeless realm. When Farquhar imagines himself slipping into the water, Bierce compares him to a “vast pendulum,” immaterial and spinning wildly out of control. Here Farquhar drifts into a transitional space that is neither life nor death but a disembodied consciousness in a world with its own rules.

What events or conflict happen in the Life of Pi to emphasize the theme?
german

Answer:

The major conflict is related to Pi's fight for survival after he is stranded at sea when the ship that he and his family are travelling to Canada on sinks. To resolve this conflict, he has to face both internal and external challenges. The biggest conflict Pi faces are against the natural environment. Pi also faces terrifying weather conditions that make life at sea unpredictable. Pi describes a storm that ''came on slowly one afternoon. The clouds looked as if they were stumbling along before the wind, frightened. The sea took its cue. It started rising and falling in a manner that made my heart sink.'' The storm destroys the raft and many of the supplies on the lifeboat. He also faces many other challenges, such as being forced to battle the elements, animals, and a carnivorous island while stranded at sea. This links directly to the theme, which is about struggling to survive through difficult odds. The shipwrecked inhabitants of the little lifeboat don’t simply give up: they actively fight against it. Pi abandons his lifelong vegetarianism and eats fish to sustain himself. Orange Juice, the peaceful orangutan, fights ferociously against the hyena. Even the severely wounded zebra battles to stay alive; his slow, painful struggle clearly shows the sheer strength of his life force. As Martel makes clear in his novel, living creatures will often do unexpected, and sometimes heroic things to survive. However, they will also do barbaric things if pressed. The hyena’s treachery and the blind Frenchman’s turn toward cannibalism show just how far creatures will go when faced with the possibility of extinction.

What quality of the locomotives does the consonance of the r sound in the sentence below suggest?
velikii [3]
The repetition of the r sound in "heaR", "Rushing", "RoaRing", and "shRill" suggests the image and sound of the train rushing past. When something fast moves by you, there's a rush of air that flies by, and this sound and movement of air, mixed with the grinding of the train on the tracks is meant to be represented by the 'r' sound, based on the consonance in the line.
