In these two texts, we see two very different perspectives of the ocean. In the first text, "Excerpt from The Open Boat," we see a description of the ocean that is quite bleak, forceful and destructive. The ocean is described in ways that are intended to cause a strong impression on the reader. The author states that "<em>these waves were most wrongfully and barbarously abrupt and tall and each frothtop was a problem in small boat navigation.</em>" This sentence shows that the waves in the ocean were strong and threatening. The author also states that "<em>a singular disadvantage of the sea lies in the fact that after successfully surmounting one wave you discover that there is another behind it just as important and just as nervously anxious to do something effective in the way of swamping boats.</em>" This shows how dangerous the open ocean can be.

On the other hand, the text "Sea Fever" provides a more positive view of the ocean. The author talks about wanting to sail again, and his motivations are all positive and cheerful ones. He says that some of the things he desires are "<em>the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking,/And a grey mist on the sea's face, and a grey dawn breaking</em>." He also tells us that he dreams of "<em>a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,/And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over.</em>" This shows that the author's point of view is a much more positive one, and one that highlights the excitement of going to sea.

Answer:

This shows that Charlie is developing his perception of emotions, which is totally different from what he was able to do before.

Explanation:

The excerpt presented in the question above can be found in the book "Flowers to Algernon" where we know the character Charlie, who has a mental disability that does not allow him to have a good cognitive and rational capacity. However, Charlie undergoes surgery that lessens the mental disability he has, causing him to undergo gradual changes during the story.

In the excerpt shown in the question above, we can see one of these gradual changes. That's because Charlie was unable to interpret the emotions he had towards other people, but now he can understand that Alice Kinnian pleases him and that it provokes positive emotions for him.

This final chapter depicts the complete transformation (not only in name) from Animal Farm to Manor Farm. There will never be a "retirement home" for old animals (as evidenced by Clover), and the pigs come to resemble their human oppressors to the degree that "it was impossible to say which was which."

The completion of the second windmill marks not the rebirth of Snowball's utopian vision, but a further linking of the animals and humans: Used not for a dynamo but instead for milling corn (and thus making money), the windmill's symbolic meaning has (like everything else) been reversed and corrupted. Animal Farm is now inexorably tied to its human neighbors in terms of commerce and atmosphere.
