If the story were to continue, the author would mostly likely discuss, the way the author and Uncle Jake escaped from the bison herd.
Answer: Option B.
Explanation:
The above given excerpt provides details about how the author used to spend his vacation at his uncle's place and the things he used to do over there. As the story moves forward, we come across an incident where the author and uncle Jack have encountered a group of bison. The bisons were coming near them, they were frightened and confused as to what should be done now, and that's when the story ended. So the continued part of the story would most certainly be, how Uncle Jack and the author have escaped the bison herd.
The correct answer is: A) Vanity is dangerous.
This Greek myth tells the story of Narcissus, known for his incredible beauty, and Echo, a nymph who fell in love with him.
Narcissus was supposed to have a long life, but only if he never saw himself. When he rejected Echo, he angered the Gods and happened to fall in love with himself after seeing his own reflection in the water. The extreme vanity of Narcissus ultimately led to his death.
1. It was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs.
-Personification is shown in this excerpt, specifically in the line "I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs." Because the author is giving human like characteristics to the light.
2. Mingled with this horror, I felt the bitterness of disappointment; dreams that had been my food and pleasant rest for so long a space were now become a hell to me; and the change was so rapid, the overthrow so complete!
- The line "for so long a space were now become a hell to me; and the change was so rapid, the overthrow so complete" uses a metaphor because the vents that take place aren't literally hell, but they are describing it in a way that makes it feels that way.
I think the correct answer is: They are both willing to risk their lives.
If we understand the word "willing" as ready to do something, this means they both are ready to risk their lives. We could think that the correct answer is "They are both helpless and weak" but in the first excerpt although he seems weak, he has been able to get food for his family and escape from the gamekeepers, even hitting them with the slingshot.
What they have in common is that although they are concious that their actions can kill them they are determined to do them. In the first excerpt hunting in the woods is forbidden and if someone gets caught doing it he would be "even killed". The kid has no option but to risk his life to get some food: "but my family had to eat one way or another."
The second excerpt refers to a pirate's slave, he has a miserable life and it could get worse. He is determined to scape or die trying, we can see that he has nothing else to loose, "I would rather die than spend another minute on that ship."
