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.

WILL BRAINLIEST What factors do you think influence what you feel about yourself? What would help a person develop a more positi
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

The factors that influence what I feel about myself are gender and appearance.

A person can develop a more positive self-concept by becoming contented of himself and not comparing himself to other people.

Explanation:

Self-concept- Generally speaking, self-concept is defined as a person's thought about his own behavior, abilities and characteristics. It can be divided into two, <em>positive self-concept and negative self-concept.</em>

Positive self-concept- A person who values himself has a positive self-concept. It gives the person the ability to cope with different problems involving himself. He often has a big confidence and feels secure.

Negative self-concept- A person who has a hard time accepting criticisms or negative feedback has a negative self-concept. He lacks confidence and is insecure.

For me, <em>gender and appearance influence my self-concept. </em>My gender tells me the positive side of being a woman (since I'm a lady). It gives me awareness on how a good woman should behave in the society. Next, my appearance. As I get older, I realize that I needed to change my fashion according to my age. This affects my self-concept.

In order to have a positive self-concept,<em> </em><em>it is very important to accept your flaws as a person.</em> If you're contented of who you are, you will feel more secure. You also won't get trapped in competing with other people for power and fame. <em>Comparing yourself with others will make you even more distant and insecure.</em>

siniylev [52]

Amy Tan's A Mother's Tongue The purpose of Amy Tan's essay, “Mother Tongue,” is to show how challenging it can be if an individual is raised by a parent who speaks “limited English” (36) as Tan's mother does, partially because it can result in people being judged poorly by others.

The complete question to the excerpt is: Which mood does the author develop with syntax and diction? A. joyful B. sarcastic C. angry D. gloomy

"<em>Portrait Of An Artist As A Young Man</em>" is the life story of the main character Stephen Dedalus by James Joyce. It depicts his religious and intellectual awakening and the central idea of betrayal and finding his self-identity.

From the excerpt, it can be seen that the mood is gloomy as he was sitting on the side when others were playing. He was sitting there just plainly and was not happy and cheerful at all.

Therefore, the gloomy mood is set in the excerpt.
