Question

Phil felt strangely fearless. He watched the ocean rotating up at him and thought Theres nothing more i can do. Analyze these feelings. What is the authors purpose of including them?
​

Answer 1

Answer

The author's intention is to demonstrate the narrator's liberation in embracing destiny.

Justification:

In a short period of time, the feelings mentioned here are many. The narrator's mood is initially characterized as oddly fearless.

This leads us to believe that there is little to be afraid of, which is why it has been fearless.

But then the author uses imagery to explain the experience, and we realize that Phil is in fact drowning, and his feelings are his realization that he will not live at all.

He has little hope of survival, but he embraces his destiny and feels oddly liberated.
