Imagine there was a shipwreck. You are stranded in a lifeboat with a tiger. Both of you are hungry and thirsty. You fear the tiger may gobble you down. How will you convince the beast not to eat you? Write a dialogue between the tiger and yourself.

Answer and Explanation:

You: I can tell by the look in your eyes that you're thinking of eating me.

Tiger: That's true. I am indeed.

You: Well, I'd like to advise you against that. If you eat me, your chances of surviving afterwards will diminish.

Tiger: I doubt that. If I eat you, I will gain strength. Consequently, I'll be able to survive for a few more days. That might be enough for a ship to show up and rescue me.

You: That reasoning is good, but flawed. Yes, you will gain strength that will last for a few days. However, if a ship does not show up in a few days, you will die. Fishing is not one of your abilities as a tiger, so you won't catch anything to eat after devouring me. Also, if a ship does show up, the crew may very well be afraid of taking you with them for fear that you might attack and eat them.

Tiger: I see... go on.

You: If you keep me alive, we will solve all of those issues. I can fish for the both of us. We'll both maintain our strength until a ship shows up, even if it takes long. When that happens, they will certainly take us in. I will vouch for you, letting them know you were civilized enough not to eat me. Therefore, they can trust you not to eat them.

Tiger: I see your point, and it is a good one. I promise not to eat you if you promise to keep your word.

You: I promise. We have a deal.

read this excerpt from “incidents in the life of a slave girl.”

i went about my evening work with trembling steps. mr. flint twice called from his chamber door to inquire why the house was not locked up. i replied that i had not done my work. "you have had time enough to do it," said he. "take care how you answer me! "

i shut all the windows, locked all the doors, and went up to the third story, to wait till midnight. how long those hours seemed, and how fervently i prayed that god would not forsake me in this hour of utmost need! i was about to risk everything on the throw of a die; and if i failed, o what would become of me and my poor children? they would be made to suffer for my fault.

at half past twelve i stole softly down stairs. i stopped on the second floor, thinking i heard a noise. i felt my way down into the parlor, and looked out of the window. the night was so intensely dark that i could see nothing. i raised the window very softly and jumped out. large drops of rain were falling, and the darkness bewildered me. i dropped on my knees, and breathed a short prayer to god for guidance and protection. i groped my way to the road, and rushed towards the town with almost lightning speed.

what is the main idea of this excerpt?
