Answer and Explanation:

One lesson Twain learns as a cub pilot is to trust himself. As an apprentice, he works under Mr. Bixby. Upon being given the chance to navigate on his own, Twain is initially very confident in his own skills. However, Mr. Bixby asks him if he is really sure he can do it. Twain grows immediately insecure. He doubts himself, even though he truly knows what to do. It was all a test. Bixby wanted to teach him a lesson: to never doubt his own skills because of what others say.

What do you think of queen gertrude

docker41 [41]

First, Queen Gertrude in Shakespeare's novel is the queen of Denmark, and mother of Hamlet.
In the story, you can only analysis Gertrude by what others say about her, not by what she says. First, she only cares about her outside look and external pleasure. She's very sexually, which made Hamlet angry on her. She was even involved in plot of Claudius during his murder plan, and of course she announced everything when Hamlet confronted her: From adultery, to murder. But, as we can see later, all her lies were to protect everyone around her. She could have told the king that Hamlet killed Polonius, but she lies to him to protect Hamlet. Her love for everyone is big, since she cares about everyone and try to protect them as much as she can, staying loyal and faithful to them. But at the end, she gain her forgiveness for her sensual nature and shallow. But she dies drinking from a poison goblet.

Hope this Helps! :)
