What is the theme of the story Rogue Wave by Theodore Taylor?

Kruka [31]3 years ago
7 0
The power of a short story, such as “Rogue Wave,” comes from its actions and events. Most stories follow a series of events, also known as the ​plot​. A story centers around the c​ onflict​, the struggle between opposing forces. As the characters struggle to resolve a conflict, the plot builds suspense, the growing tension and excitement felt by the reader. Most plots have five stages:
★ The ​exposition ​introduces the characters and presents the setting and conflict.
★ The​ rising action​ presents complications that intensify.
★ The ​climax ​is the story’s moment of greatest interest - the point where the conflict of resolved.
★ In the ​falling action​, the story begins to draw to a close.
★ The ​resolution ​reveals the final outcome of the conflict.
Often the plot is influenced by the setting, or the time and place of the action. For example, the setting can cause plot complications. In “Rogue Wave,” Sully notes that as evening comes, the fading light could hamper his rescue efforts. To understand the influence of setting on the plot in “Rogue Wave,” find details that tell where and when the events are happening. Use those details to visualize the setting and follow the action.
Exposition:
Sully is outside the capsized boat where there is plenty of light and air. But he wants to get into the boat to free his sister. Scoot is below in the darkness with limited air. She wants to get to the surface. So, the settings separate the two characters, underscoring the external conflict.
Rising Action:
Scoot is in total darkness, so she can’t see what she’s doing or where things are. She has a headache. She finally realizes that the cabin where she is trapped is upside down, which makes her disoriented. Finally, when she tries to open the entry doors, she can’t.
Climax:
Sully is finally giving up hope. Scoot is on her sixth dive. She gives one final push “with all her strength” and the skylight finally opens! Scoot is almost out of breath - about to lose consciousness - but has resolved her conflict.
Falling Action: Resolution:
Sully answers Stevens’s question with just two words:
“rogue wave.” Stevens winces and nods because that is all he needs to hear - a rogue wave is so sudden and destructive, it goes without saying that it causes massive problems.
... Sully and Scoot survive the “Rogue Wave

Based on the evidence provided in the paragraph, what is the best prediction?
torisob [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is D) Devin will be disappointed by the weather.

Explanation:

Devin had started out the day before preparing for his game. He had dotted every 'I' and crossed every 'T'.

Given that the rain was intensifying at 7am, it's most likely that it would ruin the day. On the balance of probability, it is possible the game will be canceled due to flooding or just because the field might not be in the best shape for a game. It is also possible that Devin might sleep through the alarm given the cool weather induced by the rain.

Ultimately, Devin would most likely be disappointed.

Cheers

Pretend that a new deep-sea
siniylev [52]

Answer:

Below the ocean’s surface is a mysterious world that accounts for over 95 percent of Earth’s living space—it could hide 20 Washington Monuments stacked on top of each other. But the deep sea remains largely unexplored. As you dive down through this vast living space you notice that light starts fading rapidly. By 650 feet (200 m) all the light is gone to our eyes and the temperature has dropped dramatically. Dive deeper and the weight of the water above continues to accumulate to a massive crushing force. Any light still filtering down has diminished to appear completely black, leaving only animals and bacteria to produce the light found here. By 13,000 feet (4,000 meters), the temperature hovers just below the temperature of your refridgerator. At this depth, we’ve reached the average depth of the deep-sea floor, a place that may start to get a little muddy. The further we dive down from the surface, the less new food is available, making the fight to survive that much more challenging. Despite these harsh conditions, there is life—an astounding variety of creatures that will boggle your mind. You can’t dive to the deep ocean on your own, of course, but scientists have a variety of sophisticated technologies to explore this vast frontier.
