Paragraph 17 reveal about the oiler that

  • The oiler was steering with one of the two oars in the boat

  • The oiler sometimes raised himself suddenly to keep clear of water that swirled in over the stern.

<h3>Who is an oiler?</h3>

An oiler is a junior role in the engine room of a ship, senior only to a wiper, consisting mainly of keeping machinery lubricated. The primary job of a oiler is to lubricate the engine parts of a ship.

The oiler from the Excerpt from "The Open Boat" is also helping with ensuring the open boat does not sink.

Is because Teachers use a grading scale and they may use your story as an example to another class on what to do or what not to do, so you may want to be careful.

How do the scene with the gravediggers and Hamlet’s scene with Yorick’s skull illustrate the broader theme of Hamlet’s preoccupa
qwelly [4]

The scene with the gravediggers illustrates the play’s broader theme of mortality. In the first part of the scene, two gravediggers discuss the burial of people who have taken their own lives and how the Christian system is flawed in disallowing suicide. Hamlet and Horatio then look at the remains of the many dead bodies and reflect on the certainty of death for all people. In death, we are all the same. For example, a woman may go to great ends to beautify herself in life, but her remains after death may look like any ordinary person’s remains. Hamlet and Horatio also discuss how a person's greatness ceases to matter when he or she dies. Hamlet refers to Alexander the Great being buried and becoming one with the sand.

Yorick’s skull acts as a symbol of death. With the skull in his hand, Hamlet reminisces about the time he spent with Yorick. Now, in death, Yorick is nothing more than a pile of bones, with no wit, humor, or intelligence. Earlier in the play, Hamlet spent much time mulling over death and wondering what came after death. Yorick’s skull answers that question for Hamlet.

The skull and the graveyard directly contrast with the life Hamlet led in the castle. In Elsinore, Hamlet’s mother and Claudius tried to make him forget about his father's death. In the graveyard, he has the freedom to contemplate death.
