Answer:

B. To enable the reader to visualize the ferocity of Santiago's foe.

Explanation:

In Ernest Hemingway's "The Old Man And The Sea", the endurance and experience of the old fisherman was in direct contrast with his victim, the marlin that he had caught. The experienced old man battled with the fish in his attempt to keep it under control but later lost almost all except the bones to the sharks.

Hemingway provided detailed description of the shark attacking Santiago's marlin. The shark was a <em>"fish built to feed on all the fishes in the sea, that were so  fast and strong and well armed that they had no other enemy"</em>. Santiago also admitted the shark "<em>had no fear at  all and would do exactly what he wished"</em>. The detailed description of the shark enables the reader to visualize the shark's ferocity against the old man's experience yet old age.

HHHHHEEEEEEEELLLLLLPPPPPP!!!!!!!! What is the MAIN conflict of the story? How does it drive the plot? How does it shape Buck’s c
RoseWind [281]
The main conflict is Buck fighting against his masters and his development from a tame dog into a wild wolf. This drives the plot because it shows the life of Buck as he is exposed to the harshness of the world from his first taste of abuse to his first life and death dog fight and his being punished for the wildness that is in him to the end where he buckles under the influence of the wild. This shapes Buck's characterization because in the beginning of this story, he is a tame, gentle giant who lived in the south. A pretty soft dog who didn't have anything to worry about. However, this changes from the first time a man hits him and his first dog fight. The conflict is resolved In the end by Buck's dearly loved master being killed. After this, Buck throws the law of the club away, and kills many Indians, those who killed his loved master. After he does this, he goes to run with his wild brothers and caves to his instincts and  becomes a wild wolf.
