Answer: A: An author is allowed quite a bit of slack when writing dialogue in a story. So one writer may spell Jason’s scream as “ah,” another as “ahh,” and still another as “a-h-h.” The same may be said about Michelle’s moan and Nancy’s swoon and Henry’s wondering.
Try to be consistent, though. If you use “a-h-h” in one place, stick with that spelling elsewhere in the story.
if in doubt, you can always look it up. You’d be surprised at how many of these words are actually in the dictionary. For instance, The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language (4th ed.) has three of the words you mentioned, with these spellings: “ah,” “oh,” “aw.”
I sometimes use hyphens when I stretch out one of these words: “a-h-h,” “o-o-h,” “a-w-w,” and so on. But another writer may skip the hyphens. It’s a judgment call.
Color and bold font and use images
The correct option is B: the uncontrollable power of nature.
We can perceive how the author is trying to show us how human beings have the tools and the technology and, besides, the intelligence to capture wild animals, but what they do not seem to understand is that in many occasions they underestimate the power of nature. In this case, they are not aware of the power of the whale.
For the author the symbolism is clear: what is meant to be free, it should stay that way.
Hello,
David is thinking about his quest for manhood, which he connects with
owning a gun. Because he is “almost a man,” he believes that he should
own the symbol of manhood: a gun. Borrowing a mail-order catalog from a
local store owner so that he can look at the pictures of revolvers,
David becomes obsessed with thoughts of guns, becoming a man, and, most
important, the strategy that he must use to persuade his mother that he
should be able to buy a gun. A real man doesn't need a gun.
