Not many people know that Mark Twain is a pseudonym the writer’s real name is Samuel Langhorne Clemens. Clemens, from now on referred to as Twain, was born in Florida, Missouri in November the 30th 1835. Twain was considered the father of North-American literature.

Twain wrote many novels and stories but the most famous are “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” (1876), and “the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885), the latter often called "The Great American Novel".

In his novel “A Cub Pilot” he tells an autobiographic story about him wanting to be a steamboat pilot. At the beginning of the story Twain is presented as an apprentice cub pilot working on a steamboat. The second character is Brown who is a pro pilot also working on the same boat. The two characters have a conflict from the start because Brown likes to pick on weaker and smarter boys. The problems grow due to the differences between the two characters. Twain and Brown have some differences and similarities in regards to their position. Twain is an apprentice, a cub pilot, and Brown is the boss, the pilot. Twain is under Brown to learn a few skills and Brown usually abuses the power; Twain is under stress because Brown keeps irritating him. Although Twain wanted to kill Brown, he had to hold back because he is a co-pilot. Nonetheless, Brown and Twain are both passionate in their job. That is why neither of them wanted to leave the ship.

The main idea of the passage from “A Cub Pilot” is that sometimes, no matter how smart you are, how many times you have practiced and done something, when you are under pressure, nervous or in a hurry; it is really difficult to see things for what they really are. It does not matter how experienced you can be, everybody can commit mistakes one in a while when under a lot of pressure. Sometimes you cannot see what you have seen before in equal circumstances. It a phenomenon I have coined as “Pressure Blindness”.

The sentence that can define my thesis is:

“I suppose I’ll never hear the last of how I was stupid enough to heave the lead at the head of 66.”

By stating this twain tries to explain how unbelievably blind, or stupid as he presents it, he was not to realize that everything he was doing was nonsense.

Dietrich's experience in this passage demonstrates which of the following themes:

Phantasy [73]

According to the statement above: "Dietrich's experience in this passage demonstrates which of the following themes:

"I can't believe we got stuck with Dietrich as a lab partner," groaned Grable.

"What rotten luck," Bacall agreed. "Maybe Dr. Hayworth will let us switch groups."

"Here he comes, you guys," warned Monroe. "Try to be nice to him. How would you feel if you were the new student in school?"

"He isn't just a new student," Grable said. "He was kicked out of his last school for cheating on an exam. Do you want your grade to depend on a cheater?"

"I want to be a nice person more than I want to get an A," Monroe said with a stubborn look on her face.

"What do you guys think about this project?" asked Dietrich as he approached the girls. "It looks pretty tough to me, but I think we're up to the challenge."

"As long as we keep everything nice and ethical, we should be fine," Bacall replied with an insincere smile. Dietrich's face turned bright red, and he cleared his throat.

"I guess you've heard about my past," he said with a sigh. "I was hoping that I could make a fresh start at this school."

"Why don't you tell us your side of the story?" suggested Monroe.

"I made a wrong decision last year and cheated on a math exam," Dietrich admitted. "My teacher caught me, and I was kicked out of school. I'll never do anything like that again, I swear. In fact, I spent all summer volunteering with the Inner City Tutoring Program. I've changed my ways, and I hope that people can start to forget about the past. Everyone has been saying nasty things about me behind my back, and I don't have a single friend here. It's been a lonely few weeks."

"Everyone else at this school may think of you as a cheater, but from now on, we'll consider you a friend," promised Monroe.

"We can do even better than that," Grable said. "We can start spreading the truth around school instead of lies. By this time next week, everyone will know what kind of person you really are, Dietrich."

"Thanks, guys," replied Dietrich with a grateful smile.

a. A new school is the best place to start over.

b. Gossip can have a negative impact on people.

c. Peer pressure often results in bad choices.

d. People are always willing to believe the best"

The answer is: B. Gossip can have a negative impact on people.

Hope this helps.

Answer:

Hey There! ^^

Explanation:
