<u>Explanation:</u>
In the short story "Luck", Twain is able to illustrate the inner feelings of an ordinary person after his success. The use of alternative past and satirical language brings out the narrator’s and the people’s understandings of Scoresby’s wartime blunders create humor and contribute to the narrator’s point of view.
He explains to his readers using humor and satire to state that it is not right to praise people who has gained success through luck because even in the story, the clergyman states that it was Scoresby's luck as he was basically a fool.
I have described myself as always having been imbued with a
fervent longing to penetrate the secrets of nature.
In this line, the author is exploring man versus nature. The
word or phrase from this passage that best demonstrated the conflict between
man and nature is perhaps ‘penetrate’ or specifically ‘penetrate the secrets of
nature’.
‘Penetrate’ means to succeed in forcing a way into or
through. This signifies that the persona in this passage wants to understand
the mysteries that surround nature.
