These lines signify the victory in the civil war of the Union.
Explanation:
These lines by Walt Whitman were eulogizing Abraham Lincoln after his death.
These lines start by relating that the battle that they were fighting in his leadership is now won,
The battle here is the civil war.
This is described by the narrative strategy of metaphor in which the ship is the Union force and the sea is the war and the war was now won but the captain of the ship who is supposed to be Lincoln is no longer there so the victory does not seem to him complete.
It reminds readers of the loneliness and absolute desolation of the characters. hope this helps.
Answer:
Gretel disliked her father, brother, and even the lawyer because they are all males trying to dominate over the female gender and putting themselves superior to the females.
Explanation:
Garrison Keillor's adaptation "Gretel" revolves around the character of Gretel from the "Hansel and Gretel" story. But in this adaptation, Gretel is presented as a feminist, and in contrast with the patriarchal society that diminishes and looks down on the female gender.
Gretel dislikes her father, brother, and even their lawyer because they are all males, trying to make her get less money from the profits they will get after selling their book. Her father and brother are typical males who dominate over the females while their lawyers put her on a spell and made her sign another contract. This contract agrees to pay her less money from the book sale and also even declares the book as mere fiction. And in her zeal to fight for equality, she had to oppose the patriarchal mindset of the men in her life.
