A. Repetition of the word lazy makes the tone angry.
When repetition is used as a literary element, it is done so for the sake of emphasizing something. When the word “lazy” is spoken by the Eldest Magician in the story, it is out of anger at that the man was complaining that he would have to row home without the help of the crab’s great wave. It was this action—the laziness of the man—that angered the Eldest Magician. As such, repetition of the word “lazy” makes the tone angry as it highlights what made the Eldest Magician angry.
Answer:
This statement means that it is self-limiting to subject our lives and decisions to patterns that we are already used to.
Explanation:
A hobgoblin is a spirit creature known in folklores as being mischievous. Consistency is depicted to be a negative trait as it is compared to something mischievous.
Ralph Waldo Emerson hereby implies that it is a mischievous or menacing attitude to get ourselves into a pattern because it is what we have always known to be true. This pattern limits us and prevents us from thinking outside the box.
Answer:
In "The Open Boat," the cook was forced to bail out water initially, even though he didn’t quite like the sea. He would often say, "Gawd! That was a narrow clip," in reference to the looming waves. The oiler and the correspondent were compelled to keep on rowing, despite their growing tiredness: “The plan of the oiler and the correspondent was for one to row until he lost the ability, and then arouse the other from his seawater couch in the bottom of the boat.” This sentence conveys the growing exhaustion that the two men felt. The behavior of the sea was inconsistent as well. The sea would buck like a bronco at times and appear calm at other times. This would happen irrespective of how tired or sleep-deprived the men on the dinghy were. The sea did not judge the men’s situation when treating them the way that it did. The sea also did not seem to care as the men were approaching the shore, toward the end of the story, and destroyed their dinghy, forcing them to swim to shore despite their exhaustion. While one wave helped the tired correspondent reach the shore safely, another wave ended the oiler’s life. The random treatment of the two men who did the same job on the boat—rowing—exemplifies nature’s indifference to man.
