"As each salty wall of water approached (it shut all else from the view of the men) in the boat, and it was not difficult to imagine that (this particular wave was the final outburst of the ocean) (the last effort of the grim water.)" this is the part that applies

"So the war swept over like a wave at the seashore, gathering power and size as it bore on us, overwhelming in its rush, seeming

Answer:

This quote of Gene Forrester shows how disillusioned and unrealistic his belief about the great war is.

Explanation:

The given quote is spoken by Gene Forrester in chapter 8 of the book A Separate Peace by John Knowles. The given lines show the disparity of the boys' world and the reality of the world. Amidst the war that was going on in the outside world, the boys are rather more concerned about their rivalry and academic life.

In the given passage, Gene compares World War II with that of an ocean wave, "gathering power and size". But this shows just how trivial the war seems to him, without realizing the severity of the situation. Their location in Devon was unfazed by the war which had ravaged other parts of the nation. It has "eluded" them, and that it had gone away, without any need to worry about it's return. Gene also expressed his belief that even though the war had hurled "harmlessly overhead, no doubt throwing others roughly up on the beach, but leaving me peaceably treading water as before", he believes that there is no more harm coming. He did not believe "another even larger and more powerful" wave will follow the one that they have just eluded.

In Langston Hughes’s poem “I Dream a World,” the repetition of the word “dream” emphasizes

Cloud [144]

The correct answer is the following: the belief that dreams often remain unrealized due to oppression.

Actually in the fourth four line unit the note of skepticism is difficult to understand infact he talks about his world dream where misery doesn’t exist in men’s lives because it has replaced by the Joy. Finally Hughes comments that a world like this can only exist in his dream vision.

In “I Dream a World” the character is the dreamer and visionary in the scheme of things but also the reader is engaged in this dreaming process, we can say that both dream the same dream. The implicit function of every four line unit is to explain the reality that the vision of Hughes’s dream try to resolve. Hughes’ contrasting versions of the world or as he imagines are presented in each unit too.

Answer:

The builders planned for the mayors of Ember to pass along a locked box, built to open automatically after 200 years, and successfully passed along until it reached the seventh mayor. Fearing he would soon die from a bad cough, the mayor tried to open the box. He was unsuccessful, and he died before he could return the box to its rightful place so that it might be passed on properly. As a result, the box was not opened after 200 years, and the supplies and plans the builders left behind are beginning to dwindle.
