Excerpt from Life on the Mississippi Mark Twain 'If you were to hit it you would knock the boat's brains out. Do you see where t

he line fringes out at the upper end and begins to fade away?' 'Yes, sir.' 'Well, that is a low place; that is the head of the reef. You can climb over there, and not hurt anything. Cross over, now, and follow along close under the reef--easy water there-- not much current.' I followed the reef along till I approached the fringed end. Then Mr. Bixby said--'Now get ready. Wait till I give the word. She won't want to mount the reef; a boat hates shoal water. Stand by--wait--WAIT--keep her well in hand. NOW cramp her down! Snatch her! Snatch her!' What thing is being personified as a "she" in the selected lines? A) the boat B) Mr. Bixby C) a swordfish D) the captain's wife

What is the most important event that happened in chapter 8 of the book, The outsiders and why?
Rama09 [41]

Answer: The most important event in chapter eight of <u>The Outsiders</u> is Ponyboy and Randy's conversation outside of the diner. The significance of  this scene is that Randy and Ponyboy find a common ground by talking about Bob and the school children. Randy realizes that Greasers are more than just hot-headed guys who like to fight, and Pony realizes that just because the Socs are different, they are people too, just like him. They both leave with a better understanding of each other, almost like bridging a gap between the Socs and Greasers.
