What effect does Stephen Crane achieve by repeating the phrase "the sacred cheese" in the short story "The Open Boat"?
Karolina [17]

Answer:

  1. A.) The crew's determination to realize their slight chance of reaching land.
  2. C.) compares the men to mice who must struggle to survive but have their efforts go in vain.

Explanation:

"The Open Boat" is normal for Crane's naturalistic style. Naturalism in writing is a point of view that frequently underscores the material, the physical condition as a determinant in human conduct.  

In "The Open Boat," one of the best short stories in the language, Crane depends on tone and symbolism to depict the cold blooded detachment of nature. The popular opening line, “None of them knew the color of the sky,” sets up a quick dreariness, a world drained of the emotional value of color. The sea is described as gray and the only green, suggestive of hope, is that of the land that the men cannot reach.

How does reading the Proclamation most affect Hagop? In Excerpt from my mother's voice: The Proclamation ​
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

A: It shocks him and makes him feel unsure about the future .

Explanation:

In Kay Mouradian's short story "Excerpt From My Mother's Voice: The Proclamation", the narrator tells the story of a man named Hagop Minishian and his family. Though it presents just a single scene where he was playing a game of backgammon with a friend, the coming of the proclamation led to the sudden shift in the atmosphere of the characters involved.

While playing the game and also reminiscing about his youngest daughter Flora's birth and life, the horseback riding Turkish soldier came and nailed a paper proclaiming the 'arrest/ surrender' of Armenians. This proclamation was read by everyone in the square, including <em><u>Hagop who was greatly shocked at the order and makes him feel unsure about what the future will hold for them.</u></em>
