Some sentences form Shackleton's South that blend personal and objective experience are:
 
<em>The apathy which seemed to take possession of some of the men at the frustration of their hopes was soon dispelled</em>
(he describes here his own impressions of the apathy)

and this one: it takes a very personal stance, giving the speaker's own impressions of the diet:

<em>Our meals had to consist mainly of seal and penguin; and though this was valuable as an anti-scorbutic, so much so that not a single case of scurvy occurred among the party, yet it was a badly adjusted diet, and we felt rather weak and enervated in consequence.</em>

The apathy which seemed to take possession of some of the men at the frustration of their hopes was soon dispelled

When they were about a mile and a half away their voices were quite audible to us at Ocean Camp, so still was the air.

Mandarinka [93]
In "Things Fall Apart," one religious practice of the people of Umuofia is the practice of animal sacrifice.

They describe sacrificing a rooster before planting crops. The sacrifice is dedicated to Ani, the owner of all land. A rooster is also sacrificed to Ifejioku, the god of yams. 

This practice is culturally significant because the sacrifice is meant to ensure good crops. Ultimately, these sacrifices ensure the health of the village, since if the crops fail, the villagers will be without a large part of their food supply. Since the crops are so essential to the villagers' health, the sacrifice has a great cultural significance.

The machine stops:<br> Summarize a typical day in the Machine with evidence cited from the text.
victus00 [196]

Answer:

The machine is the place where every human being lives in an era that seems to be the future.

Explanation:

A typical day at the machine seems to be somewhat monotonous. The interactions with people are through technological devices and apparently the people here repeat their day to day.

Let's see the following lines:

<em>"She made the room dark and slept; she awoke and made the room light; she ate and  exchanged ideas with her friends, and listened to music and attended lectures; she make  the room dark and slept. Above her, beneath her, and around her, the Machine hummed  eternally; she did not notice the noise, for she had been born with it in her ears. The earth,  carrying her, hummed as it sped through silence, turning her now to the invisible sun, now  to the invisible stars. She awoke and made the room light." </em>

The only thing Vashti does is wake up, turn on the lights, interact with some of the thousands of buttons on the machine, talk virtually with friends and go back to sleep.

Here there is no direct interaction with nature or outside.
