Dear friend.

Imagine him receiving that message has been the only happiness in my life. I don't know you, nor do you know me, but if fate has allowed you to find my message, it's because you need to know about me and help, if not me, other victims like me.

I find myself trapped in the basement of the sadistic, mad, murderous General Zaroff. I arrived here after my ship wreck survived. I came in search of help, but I only received despair and panic. The general hunts me like an animal, plotting my death all the time. I can no longer sleep, and control my nerves, I live on the edge of insanity all the time and I believe that my days of life will be short if I remain here, or if I throw myself into the sea, trying in vain to escape my captivity.

I'm afraid of suffering at the hands of Zaroff, I'm afraid of a slow and painful death, but my biggest fear is that this rascal will get away with his actions.

Please take this letter to the authorities and help an unfortunate person like me.

1. 8R4 - How does the extended simile in paragraph 9 affect the mood of "Excerpt from The Open Boar"?!
elena-s [515]

Answer:

1) The correct answer here is D)

 

Explanation:

The simile that compares the boat to a bucking broncho strengthened the tense mood.

Paragraph 9 reads:

The boat "pranced and reared, and plunged like an animal" repeatedly over "walls of water" repeatedly.

This sort of comparison forces one to think about the kind of attention channels at riding wild and dangerous animal.

The simile communicates great danger to the reader of the possibility of the boat to crash or capsize at any given moment as it slams against the waters and into the huge waves before them.

2) The correct answer is D)

Explanation:

The phrase "<em>The mind of the master of a vessel is rooted deep in the timbers of her</em>" alludes that the Captain of the vessel regardless of how long they have commanded such vessel.

3)   The excerpt which confirms the relentlessness and indifference of the ocean is given below

"<em>A particular danger of the sea is the fact that after successfully get­ting through one wave, you discover that there is another behind it. The next wave is just as nervously anxious and purposeful to overturn boats.</em>"

Cheers!

Which of the following statements best summarizes a conclusion about Wilbur Wright based on his 1899 letter to the Smithsonian?
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Wilbur Wright looked to nature for inspiration in his flight engineering and had done so since he was a child.

Explanation:

The Wright Brothers, the inventor of building the world's first successful airplane, wrote letters to Smithsonian Institution while they were making the human flight possible.

On May 30, 1899, Wilbur Wright wrote the letter to the institution asserting that human flight is possible. He said that he has been observing birds since his childhood and interested in mechanical and human flights. He had made bats of different sizes since childhood especially after reading the stories of Cayley's and Penaud's machines.

Wilbur has looked to birds for the techniques of gymnastics, as they are the world's perfectly trained gymnasts.

Thus the 1899 letter concludes that Wilbur has looked to nature for inspiration and has done so since his childhood.
