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.

Please say what the independent or dependent clause is in the sentence thank you❤
arsen [322]
An independent clause is a clause that can stand alone in a sentence. (it expresses a complete thought.

a dependent clause is a clause with a subject and a verb, but it does not express a complete thought, therefore it can not serve as a sentence alone.

Select the correct text in the passage. Hamlet wants to avenge his father's murder. However, his indecision prevents him from ta
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Now might I do it pat, now he is praying; And now I'll do't—and so he goes to heaven, And so am I reveng'd. That would be scann'd: A villain kills my father; and for that I, his sole son, do this same villain send To Heaven O, this is hire and salary, not revenge. (Hamlet, act IV, scene III)  

Explanation:

The above excerpt shows exactly the indecision and the urning point of Shakespeare's tragedy. That's because this excerpt reveals the moment when Hamlet comes across his father's killer. Hamlet wants to avenge his father's death by killing the murderer, but when he finds the murderer, he realizes that he is praying.

Although this is the perfect time for his vigil, since it would be easy to kill a man who is praying, Hamlet realizes that he would be doing the killer a favor by sending him to heaven since he was not practicing any sin. For this reason, Hamlet decides to kill him at another time, when he is sinning, so that his soul goes to hell.
