Answer:
Santiago is such a memorable character because he is determined to succeed despite his recent failures.
Explanation:
Santiago is a central character of one of Earnest Hemingway’s novel, ‘The old man and the sea.’ This novel depicts a story of Santiago who’s an old fisherman and who wasn’t being able to catch a fish for 84 days straight.
The reason by Santiago is such a memorable character of the story lies in his determination. Despite being so old and despite his several failures, he continues to go on for fishing. And eventually he was able to catch a big marlin fish. The fish was so big that even his boat couldn’t handle its size.
Santiago’s character depicts that if a man is determined enough to reach his goal, no force can stop him from achieving it.
Answer:
The phrase "the edge of the sea concerned / with itself" most strongly suggests:
A) The sea continues to break on the shore despite Icarus's drowning.
Explanation:
"Landscape with the Fall of Icarus", by William Carlos Williams, is a poem that describes a painting by Pieter Brueghel. The painting depicts the mythological character Icarus falling from the sky into the ocean as his wax wings are melted by the sun. The poem and the painting convey the same idea that the world goes on without consideration for the suffering of a being. Not one person, one thing, was disturbed by Icarus's fall. As the lines say, "the edge of the sea concerned / with itself", meaning the ocean itself is not disturbed. Icarus has just fallen inside it, but the sea continues to break on the shore as if nothing has happened, as if no one had died.
