Part A In the story "Life on the Sea," how does Marla feel about her husband's job as a fishing boat captain? She thinks he is a

selfish fool for risking his life as he does. She is thrilled that he is doing something he loves. She wishes he had a job that let him be home more often. She wishes he had a job that made more money. Question 2 Part B Which excerpts from the story best support the answer in Part A? Select the two correct answers. "He had tried things her way, but that had only lasted a couple years; after a while, she could tell that he was miserable, and she gave him her permission to do what he loved." "He gave his job two weeks’ notice and was back on the sea right away." "She couldn’t grasp why he didn’t get the same satisfaction from life behind a desk..." "His wife, Marla, didn’t understand his obsession with the water, why he spent months of the year navigating a boat full of crab fishermen to isolated spots of the ocean hundreds of miles away from shore."

Marla would like her husband to have a job that would allow him to come home more often.

The excerpts that show this are:

"His wife, Marla, didn’t understand his obsession with the water, why he spent months of the year navigating a boat full of crab fishermen to isolated spots of the ocean hundreds of miles away from shore."

"She couldn’t grasp why he didn’t get the same satisfaction from life behind a desk..."

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • Marla's husband's job requires him to spend a lot of time away from home.
  • She doesn't like it because she misses him and believes it would be better if he found another job that would allow him to have a family life.
  • He asks her husband to answer her claims, which he does, but he is very unhappy, as he enjoys life at sea a lot.
  • Marla doesn't understand the reasons for this, but she sees him unhappy and that's why she asks him to go back to doing what he loves.

With that, we can understand that Marla is a very understanding person, who doesn't agree, but understands her husband's love for the sea.

Describe, in your own words, how petrarch employs metaphor to express his ideas of unattainable love. use examples from the text
Stels [109]

Petrarch employs metaphor to express his ideas of unattainable love by comparing his beloved or Laura to natural phenomenon.

Metaphors are frequently used in Petrarchan sonnets to express his ideas of unattainable love. For instance, the metaphor "In a tremendous storm on an unsecured raft" is also used to describe how he feels in response to her passing which shows that he lost his love.

His blason makes extensive use of metaphor and simile, but the sonnet as a whole is littered with them.

The simple facts that unattainable love gives pain, that time may not heal, and most significantly, that our confidence in God can remain constant as our eyes focus upward rather than toward ourselves or others, may then be revealed by Petrarch's use of metaphors in his sonnets.
