Answer:

A. He is tenacious and unwilling to give up.

Explanation:

This occurs in Part 3 of the book. In this section, we see that Santiago's hand has begun bleeding. He is not worried, as this leads him to assume that the marlin must be getting tired too. He also believes that he allowed his hand to get cut because he was distracted, and this motivates him to pay more attention and try harder. As time passes, his hand starts to get numb, and he is angry with himself. He tells his hand to turn into a claw, but knows that this will not lead him to stop. Santiago is extremely tenacious and each difficulty only encourages him to work harder.

Answer:

The second statement in the given excerpt illustrates that Nicki is a round character.

Explanation:

This is because she is feeling the footsteps of the thugs and also is able to think about their behaviour or character. She can compare their characteristics with the sacks of sugar because it can be bought and sold. She is not indulging into deep thinking by stopping in the woods. Rather she knows and thinks while moving forward and figuring out what to do.

Imagine that you are a woman in 1915, fighting for the right to vote. You and a group of women have gathered in the town square

svp [43]

Answer:

Women's suffrage is basically the right to vote, but it means something more than that to us. It shows people that we are stronger than they think we are. We may not be as physically strong as men, but we are very strong. If we set our mind towards something we can and we will complete that. We are doing this to recieve the right to vote, but most of all we are doing this to show womens' worth.

Hope this helps, and I had fun writing this one lol!! :)
