This question is incomplete. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

What lesson does Mr. Bixby try to teach the narrator in “A Cub Pilot”?

A. to know when he is being tricked

B. not to be so certain of his own abilities

C. not to rely on his existing knowledge

D. to keep a cool head in tense situations

Answer:

The lesson Mr. Bixby tries to teach the narrator is:

D. to keep a cool head in tense situations

Explanation:

In Mark Twain's "A Cub Pilot", Mr. Bixby shakes Samuel's confidence on purpose. He makes Samuel doubt his own abilities, second-guess himself. All Mr. Bixby does is ask Samuel if he is sure he can navigate on his own. Later on, however, he tells Samuel he shouldn't allow him (Mr. Bixby) nor anyone else to shake his faith in himself. He (Samuel) should keep a cool head in tense situations, no matter what it is that people tell him.

How do I write a rationale responding to a narrative I wrote for english, and linking aspects to a novel we read in class? What
leonid [27]

A rationale is an explanation or a justification of something, so you can write a rationale as to why your characters act the way they do, for instance.

<h3>Writing a rationale</h3>

A rationale is simply a justification, the reason why you did something the way you did. According to the instructions in the question, you are supposed to write a rationale about a narrative you have written. You are supposed to link that rationale to aspects of a novel you have read, as well. However, you do not mention what your narrative is about or which novel you have read. Thus, the answer below will be a general one in order to help you as much as possible.

You can write a rationale justifying the following topics, for example:

  • Why your characters act the way they do.
  • Why you chose that specific theme for your narrative.
  • Why you chose to end the story the way you did.

You can link that justification to the novel by saying, for instance, that characters' actions in the story or the theme developed by the author seemed intriguing to you, so you wished to explore it some more.

A brief example of a rationale would be the following:

  • As I read "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald, I found it intriguing to see how aware Daisy is of the injustices of this world toward women. She knows it is a man's world, which is why she wishes her daughter to be a fool - fools are happy, no matter how unfair the world is. With that in mind, I wanted to write from the perspective of her grown daughter to explore her own views of society and how she deals with the unfairness that surrounds her.

We can conclude, with the information above in mind, that the explanation provides the necessary information for a rationale to be written.
