Which of the following passages best expresses Mark Twain's purpose in "A Cub Pilot"? There is one faculty which a pilot must in

cessantly cultivate until he has brought it to absolute perfection. Nothing short of perfection will do. That faculty is memory. He [a pilot] must have good and quick judgment and decision, and a cool, calm courage that no peril can shake. "You shouldn't have allowed me or anybody else to shake your confidence in that knowledge. Try to remember that." I had become a good steersman; so good, indeed, that I had all the work to do on our watch, night and day.

Answer:

1). Squealer: Insincerity

2). Napoleon: Intimidation

3). Boxer: Patriotism

4). Snowball: Idealism

Explanation:

1).  Squealer displays insincerity as he keeps lying and influencing the animals persistently all through the course of the text for backing the pigs rule.

2). Napoleon mirrors Intimidation as he employs his own dogs to subdue the farm animals so that they follow him blindly go after him and do not listen to any other.

3). Boxer displays utter patriotism as he frantically perpetuates Napolean's ideas and follows him blindly to safeguard the animals of the farm without understanding Napolean's trick behind it. He is very innocent and keeps repeating the phrases which display his patriotism.

4). Snowball reflects idealism as he is a true individual and honestly feels the need for revolution for the betterment of the farm animals.

An example of <u>complicating incident</u> <span>would be in Act II when Oberon puts the potion on the eyes of the sleeping lovers and Titania.
Act I serves as an introduction into the play, but everything changes in Act II when Oberon does this to the sleeping lovers and Titania, because he starts the whole incident with people falling in love with wrong people. He made a mistake and thus the complications began. </span>
