Answer:

Hi, you didn't put the answer options, but I can help you by showing you that the central idea in “two ways of looking at a river” is the statement that the more we know something, the more we change our opinion about it .

Explanation:

"Two ways of looking at a river" is a work by Mark Twain and describes how he changed his mind about the Mississippi River as he got to know it more and more. In the text Twain shows how he saw the river as something beautiful, poetic , somewhat mystical and transcendent, as something supernatural and ideological. However, after becoming a steamboat pilot and knowing the river in a professional way he started to change his mind, he started to see the river as something normal and natural, very different from the vision I had before.

Alexxandr [17]

Answer: Lemuel Gulliver is the protagonist of Gulliver's Travels.

Explanation:

Lemuel Gulliver is the fictional character, the narrator and the key protagonist of Gulliver's Travels, Jonathan Swift's novel from 1726.

Gulliver is a trained surgeon, but his business fails and he goes to the seas. The story that he describes happens after the shipwreck, when Gulliver wakes up in Lilliput, tied by tiny threads. Gulliver narrates the story in a first-person narrative, but many critics suggest that he never shows emotions and that we are rarely given an insight into his deep thoughts.
