Answer: The setting of “The Colomber” is the sea. The sea is a spooky setting because it has so many unexplored regions, too deep for most man-made machines to explore. It is also spooky that the colomber wanders the ocean because the oceans are all interconnected. Stefano will always be on some continent surrounded by ocean. Although he may be far away from the edge of shore, he’s always surrounded. This enforces the theme in the story that one cannot escape one’s fears. No matter where Stefano is, the lure and the presence of the ocean (which is home to the creature he most fears) is always waiting for him.
Memories make them cry about the country they can't go back to.
He thought she was made happy too easily. That her sweetness was a fault because she liked everything she saw and was contempt with anything. Something he saw as disgusting.
<span>Well, he starts off by justifying his reasons with patriotism. "Nowhere is the promise of innovation greater than in American-made energy." He also uses facts and promises of a brighter future to gain an audience. "75% of our potential offshore oil and gas resources. Right now, American oil production is the highest that it's been in 8 years. Last year, we relied less on foreign oil than in any of the past 16 years." We also see more facts in his closing statements, "But with only 2% of the world's oil reserves, oil isn't enough"
He then inadvertently talks about different types of energy sources. These being clean, reliable and opening jobs. This passively emphasizes that we need clean energy for ambiguous reasons, such as global warming and pollutants. It also gives the listeners hope of an increase in the job market. We know that America has had low job-rates lately, so the possibility of new jobs sparks a fire in the heart's of the people. Also, he mentions the gas will be cheaper, which is big, too, since our economy has gone through inflation and a financial depression, and because of this gas has skyrocketed. Cheaper gas motivates people to invest (Taxes?) in these new ideologies and technologies.
