What theme is common to the two excerpts below? . . . His theory of running until he reached camp and the boys had one flaw in i

t: he lacked the endurance. Several times he stumbled, and finally he tottered, crumpled up, and fell. When he tried to rise, he failed. He must sit and rest, he decided, and next time he would merely walk and keep on going. As he sat and regained his breath, he noted that he was feeling quite warm and comfortable. He was not shivering, and it even seemed that a warm glow had come to his chest and trunk. And yet, when he touched his nose or cheeks, there was no sensation. Running would not thaw them out. Nor would it thaw out his hands and feet. Then the thought came to him that the frozen portions of his body must be extending. He tried to keep this thought down, to forget it, to think of something else; he was aware of the panicky feeling that it caused, and he was afraid of the panic. But the thought asserted itself, and persisted, until it produced a vision of his body totally frozen. (Jack London, To Build a Fire) Presently the boat also passed to the left of the correspondent with the captain clinging with one hand to the keel. He would have appeared like a man raising himself to look over a board fence, if it were not for the extraordinary gymnastics of the boat. The correspondent marvelled that the captain could still hold to it. They passed on, nearer to shore—the oiler, the cook, the captain—and following them went the water-jar, bouncing gayly over the seas. The correspondent remained in the grip of this strange new enemy—a current. The shore, with its white slope of sand and its green bluff, topped with little silent cottages, was spread like a picture before him. It was very near to him then, but he was impressed as one who in a gallery looks at a scene from Brittany or Algiers. He thought: "I am going to drown? Can it be possible? Can it be possible? Can it be possible?" Perhaps an individual must consider his own death to be the final phenomenon of nature." (Stephen Crane, The Open Boat)

Compare Zaroff’s and Rainsford’s point of view on the hunt. How does this tension contribute to the moral stakes of the story?
stiks02 [169]

Answer and Explanation:

<u>Zaroff and Rainsford are characters in Richard Connell's short story "The Most Dangerous Game". The whole story revolves around what is moral and what is not, as well as the characters' ability to empathize with others.</u>

It is interesting to notice that Rainsford and Zaroff are more similar than they are different. They are both skilled hunters who also happen to be quite arrogant about their profession. Both fail to empathize with their prey. However, this is where the difference begins and ends.<u> Rainsford hunts wild animals. </u>He does not think of a jaguar's feelings when he fires his gun to kill it.

<u>Zaroff, on the other hand, hunts men. </u>He knows very well he is hunting rational beings like himself. But he does not care. He sees the men he hunts as inferior to him, just like Rainsford sees the animals as mere huntees. Yet, <u>Rainsford is incapable of condoning with Zaroff's behavior and perception. To Rainsford, what Zaroff does is pure muder.</u>

<u>This tension and the conflict this difference generates are what advances the plot. Both hunters have similar views, only one of them has taken it to the next level. Is only Zaroff wrong? Are both of them murderers? Is Rainsford a better men simply because he has a different sense of moral when it comes to other human beings, but no moral when it comes to animals? Thus, the moral stakes of the story make us wonder and question the characters.</u>

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

Pathos

Explanation:

Pathos was used more in the Ted talk by Jia Jiang, because he used stories that appealed to the emotions of his audience. He started with the story of how he faced rejection as a young boy at six. He cried at the rejection and felt so sad.

At 30, he was still battling rejection. He, however, took the bull by the horn by becoming intentional about overcoming rejection. He appealed to emotions by using stories of different times he was rejected, and how he learned that asking 'why?' could help him understand the reason for the rejection. He was effective because his audience grew into millions and they benefited from his experience.
