The captain
In this excerpt, the captain has saved the ship so the Governor may now travel to wherever he pleases. The Governor had been waiting on the shore until the ship could be deemed safe for his passage. The wording clearly shows that the speaker is grateful for this person who has saved him. The words "deliverer" and "a man sent from Heaven" indicate the heroic attributes the speaker feels the captain has. We know it is not actually Jesus or God because the word "him" is not capitalized. Since Heaven is capitalized in this excerpt, the author would also have capitalized him if it was referring to Jesus or God.
Answer:
A prologue is used to give readers extra information that advances the plot. It is included in the front matter and for a good reason! Authors use them for various purposes, including:
Giving background information about the story. For example, in a sci-fi book, it may be useful to include a description of the alien world, perhaps in a scene that illustrates its essential characteristics and functioning, so as not to confuse readers by plunging them into a completely foreign world in the first chapter (and having to explain it then or leave them lost, which may lead to disinterest).
Grabbing readers' attention with a scene from the story. The author could pick an exciting scene from the middle of the story to draw readers in and make them want to keep reading.
Describing a scene from the past that is important to the story, such as a fire where the main character's father is killed, which is the motivation for the action in the novel.
Giving information from a different point of view. The story is written in first person, and the prologue is in third person. The prologue focuses on a secret of one of the characters (which the main character would have no way of knowing, and the author would not otherwise be able to tell the reader due to the first person perspective).
Expressing a different point in time. For example, the prologue may be about the main character who is in her eighties and who is remembering her childhood, which is when the story takes place (and which begins in Chapter 1).
Answer:
Indirect characterization describes a character through their thoughts, actions, speech, and dialogue. Direct characterization, or describes the character through their physical description, things about them...
Explanation:
This seems to be describing what it might be like to climb into someone else's skin and walk around as them. Possibly his thoughts? Indirect and thoughts...
You cannot literally do this, but you can think it....
