This particular excerpt makes part of the bigger poem "The Tide Rises, The Tide Falls", written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow between 1807 and 1822. In essence, this particular poem makes reference to the process of life, death and rebirth, through the image of the ocean, its movements, its activities and its effects on life. The poem is short, only three stanzas long, and most of it shows the sadness of life as it comes and then ebbs away, marking with it the time limitation on life.
In this particular excerpt of the poem, Longfellow is making reference to how natural events, like the flow of the sea, affect human beings, their lives, and links the two things, human life, and nature, by giving an almost human characteristic to the ebb and flow of the sea. This is why, the correct answer here is B: Human beings are challenged by events in the natural world.

<em><u>Thetis and Achilles are two Iliad’s figures and the strong bond between mother and son represents one of the great poetic themes .
</u></em>
<em><u>Thetis is more than a supporting character in Homer's epic poem infact her actions greatly influence the war and its consequences. </u></em>
<em><u>There is some evidence that the sea-goddess played a more central role in the religious beliefs and practices of Archaic Greece. When Achilles feels wronged or in trouble, he turns to his mother for help , which she provides. His child was a mortal like his father Peleus, so he is destined to have a short life even though his mother was an immortal sea goddess.

<em><u>She played a key part the Trojan War events. Nine years after the beginning of the Trojan War, the Iliad starts with Agamemnon, the King of the Achaeans, and Achilles, arguing over Briseis, a war prize of Achilles. </u></em>
<em><u>Finally Achilles, disgraced by Agamemnon, refuses to fight to demonstrate how much the Greeks need him to win the war. Thetis convinces Achilles to wait until she speaks with Jove to rejoin the fighting and he waited. She begs Jove to let win the Trojans, even if they are enemies of his son.
</u></em>
<em><u>Thetis is aware that the Trojans are destined to defeat, but asks Jove to postpone that moment, making them win some battles, so that the Greeks beg Achilles to return to fight and Agamemnon asks the hero's forgiveness.
