Which sentence in this excerpt from Stephen Crane's "The Open Boat" is a metaphor that reflects the naturalistic theme that huma

n life is insignificant before the workings of fate?
"The boat was headed for the beach. The correspondent wondered if none ever ascended the tall wind tower, and if then they never looked seaward. This tower was a giant, standing with its back to the plight of the ants.It represented in a degree, to the correspondent, the serenity of nature amid the struggles of the individual.The coldness of the water was sad; it was tragic. This fact was somehow so mixed and confused with his opinion of his own situation that it seemed almost a proper reason for tears. The water was cold."

I believe that the sentence from this excerpt that shows such a metaphor is the following one - <u>This tower was a giant, standing with its back to the plight of the ants.</u>
We are the ants - we are completely insignificant before nature, and before fate itself, as, according to the naturalists, we cannot influence our own lives, but rather just wait to see what happens. We cannot change our fate - what's been decided for us is going to happen and there is nothing we can do about it.

When you say that something is cryptic, it means that, that thing has a meaning that is mysterious or obscure.
From the way the word was used in the given sentence, it means that the message the teacher was passing across about the test is hidden, it was not understood by any of the students.

What is the central or main idea of Interview with Marielle Tsukamoto?
Paladinen [302]
I am pretty sure that the main idea of the Interview with Marielle Tsukamoto was Japanese American internment. During the whole interview Marielle Tsukamoto tells about how she spent her time in an internment camp, shares her ideas about American citizens,  her feelings of leaving lovely place, mentioned all her saddest memories and  happy moments and praises her mother, I recommend you to read this article, it’s not a big one.
