Answer:
It would be under a cave to be protected from sun rays
Well, this phrase is to be interpreted with how you believe it would be. Let's break it down. Let's start with the beginning of our sentence; "Who with a single thwart." What does the word "thwart" mean.
Thwart: (verb) to prevent (someone) from accomplishing something.
So, we have this so far;
"Who with a single prevented blow."
Onto the next part, "Blow cleft asunder a brace"
Lets dive into the words "cleft" and "asunder."
Cleft: (adjective) split, divided, in two.
Asunder: (adverb) into pieces, apart
All together we now have; "Who with a single prevented blow split into pieces under a brace."
Lastly, we will define "of hulking blustering giants."
Lets break down this one more.
When I see the word "hulking" I think of the Incredible Hulk. So let's dive into that word, and the word beside it.
Hulking: (adjective) large, heavy, clumsy.
Blustering: (verb) talking aggressively, noisily
So now, we should have interpreted this as "Who with a single prevented blow split into pieces under a brace of large noisy giants."
Based on what we have rewritten this sentence, what do YOU think this means? I believe that they're talking about someone in comparison to the giants.
Have a great day :-)
Answer:
I believe the theme of the story revolves around truth and how it can be defined or changed by those who have more power.
Explanation:
Ambrose Bierce's "The Difficulty of Crossing a Field" is a one-page short story. A man named Williamson is crossing a field when he suddenly disappears. However, only two people are listened to and believed when it comes to this strange fact - Mr. Wren and his son. But most importantly, Mr. Wren and his son are white men who own some land. Williamson's own wife and the slaves working on the field are not listened to or believed at all. The wife is even said to have lost her mind. The inferiority of Africans and women is clearly shown - and let's make it clear that Bierce is criticizing such an action. Everyone saw his disappearance, everyone came up with different explanations to it, but the woman and the slaves were not considered worthy of being heard and trusted. The "truth" in the end is something chosen, established by a few.
