Answer:

The answer is

Explanation:

A young boy, Michael, travels with his parents around the world on the yacht Peggy Sue. Michael's parents teach him what he would have normally learnt at school themselves. When he is on lookout one night, steering the boat, Michael and his dog, Stella Artois, are washed overboard. They awake to discover that they are stranded on a desert island in the Pacific Ocean.

While Michael is struggling to survive on the island, food is regularly left for him. To his surprise, he learns that an old man called Kensuke is also living on the island. Kensuke helps Michael to survive. He sets guidelines that Michael thinks are just annoyances. When he is nearly killed by a giant jelly fish, Kensuke tends to Michael, and Michael eventually befriends him.

Michael teaches Kensuke English, and Kensuke in return teaches Michael how to paint, how to fish and where to find the best food and water. He is eventually revealed to be a doctor and survivor of ww 2, and he believes that his family died in nagasaki after the atomic bomb was dropped there on August 9, 1945. Over time Kensuke begins to understand how Michael feels and how he misses his family. They both build a beacon that would be lit to signal to ships, but for a long time they see no sign of any ships. Later, however Michael witnesses a Chinese junk and he consults Kensuke as to whether or not he should light the beacon, but Kensuke recognizes the ship as that of poachers and he and Michael rush to gather all the orangutans into the cave to protect them from the threat that lies in the ship. They nearly succeed but miss out one orangutan, that Kensuke calls Kikanbo, which they could not find. The ship arrives and they both hear gunshots. When the ship leaves they discover that some gibbon monkeys had been killed, but that Kikanbo was still alive. The next time they see a ship it is not the poachers and they both light the fire. The crew on the ship see the fire and change direction, heading towards the island. When the boat is closer, Michael sees that the boat is the Peggy Sue, with his parents on-board. Kensuke decides at that point, despite thinking otherwise earlier, that he would not be sailing home with Michael and tells him to keep everything a secret until 10 years had passed and Kensuke was dead. Michael runs out to the beach where the ship had landed and is reunited with his parents.

Hope this helps....

Have a nice day!!!!

Which statement best explains seared in the flames of withering injustice as it is used in the second paragraph
telo118 [61]
This is most evidently a metaphor.  The thing to keep in mind when analyzing literature/poetry is that if you see figurative language making comparisons/drawing parallels between two differing things--instances where the meaning is not literal such as how injustice is not really a fire and has no flames--it's a safe bet you'll have on your hands a metaphor.
