When I grow up I either want my career to be a comedian or an engineer. My only obstacle with becoming a comedian is that my parents are so stubborn and won’t give me consent, they say my react time to slow and I will not be able to come up with jokes. But I think I can take on that project!
Explanation:
Tourism certainly has the potential of taking over the burden of powering Oman’s economy and replacing its dependence on income from oil.
Oman is the second country in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states, after the United Arab Emirates (UAE) that welcomes an increasing number of tourists every year. Out of the 9.3 million passengers arriving in the country in 2015, about 36 per cent were tourists.
I think the correct answer is: They are both willing to risk their lives.
If we understand the word "willing" as ready to do something, this means they both are ready to risk their lives. We could think that the correct answer is "They are both helpless and weak" but in the first excerpt although he seems weak, he has been able to get food for his family and escape from the gamekeepers, even hitting them with the slingshot.
What they have in common is that although they are concious that their actions can kill them they are determined to do them. In the first excerpt hunting in the woods is forbidden and if someone gets caught doing it he would be "even killed". The kid has no option but to risk his life to get some food: "but my family had to eat one way or another."
The second excerpt refers to a pirate's slave, he has a miserable life and it could get worse. He is determined to scape or die trying, we can see that he has nothing else to loose, "I would rather die than spend another minute on that ship."
