Question

Which two sentences in this excerpt from Ernest Shackleton south the author reflecting on memories of his experience rather than recounting factual information

Answer 1

Passage: The apathy which seemed to take possession of some of the men at the frustration of their hopes was soon dispelled. Parties were sent out daily in different directions to look for seals and penguins. We had left, other than reserve sledging rations, about 110 lbs. of pemmican, including the dog-pemmican, and 300 lbs. of flour. In addition there was a little tea, sugar, dried vegetables, and suet. I sent Hurley and Macklin to Ocean Camp to bring back the food that we had had to leave there. They returned with quite a good load, including 130 lbs. of dry milk, about 50 lbs. each of dog-pemmican and jam, and a few tins of potted meats. When they were about a mile and a half away their voices were quite audible to us at Ocean Camp, so still was the air.

We were, of course, very short of the farinaceous element in our diet. The flour would last ten weeks. After that our sledging rations would last us less than three months. Our meals had to consist mainly of seal and penguin; and though this was valuable as an anti-scorbutic, so much so that not a single case of scurvy occurred amongst the party, yet it was a badly adjusted diet, and we felt rather weak and enervated in consequence.

Hi. You did not enter the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, and I will try to help you as best I can.

To answer this question, you will need the text it is related to. As stated in the question, you must present two sentences where the author is reflecting on the experiences he has had. In this case, you will need to find, within the text, the moments when the author shows thoughts about his experiences, where he presents what he learned and how these experiences were positive or negative for his life and how this contributed to the story that it's counting, that is, you shouldn't look for the experiences themselves, but how they impacted the author.
