read this excerpt from "the open boat" by stephen crane, and then complete the paragraph that follows.

"if we don't all get ashore—" said the captain. "if we don't all get ashore, i suppose you fellows know where to send news of my finish? "

they then briefly exchanged some addresses and admonitions. as for the reflections of the men, there was a great deal of rage in them. perchance they might be formulated thus: "if i am going to be drowned—if i am going to be drowned—if i am going to be drowned, why, in the name of the seven mad gods who rule the sea, was i allowed to come thus far and contemplate sand and trees? was i brought here merely to have my nose dragged away as i was about to nibble the sacred cheese of life? it is preposterous. if this old ninny-woman, fate, cannot do better than this, she should be deprived of the management of men's fortunes. she is an old hen who knows not her intention. if she has decided to drown me, why did she not do it in the beginning and save me all this trouble.”

. .

in the meantime the oiler rowed, and then the correspondent rowed, and then the oiler rowed. gray-faced and bowed forward, they mechanically, turn by turn, plied the leaden oars. the form of the light-house had vanished from the southern horizon, but finally a pale star appeared, just lifting from the sea. the streaked saffron in the west passed before the all-merging darkness, and the sea to the east was black. the land had vanished, and was expressed only by the low and drear thunder of the surf.

"if i am going to be drowned—if i am going to be drowned—if i am going to be drowned, why, in the name of the seven mad gods, who rule the sea, was i allowed to come thus far and contemplate sand and trees? was i brought here merely to have my nose dragged away as i was about to nibble the sacred cheese of life? "

in stephen crane's naturalist story, the repetition of the term "sacred cheese" invokes the idea of unable to see the good in a situation attempting to find the good in a bad event running wearily in a circle or on a wheel seeming powerless and caught in a trap . this idea is in keeping with the theme of the story that humans are made to be punished by the supernatural led by free-will and self-determination subservient to nature's power at the mercy of their creations

1. The repetition of the term "sacred cheese" invokes the idea of seeming powerless and caught in a trap.
The narrator is complaining about his sad fate to see the land in front of him after his ship was destroyed, but being unable to reach that land and save himself. The sacred cheese is the food that a hungry person sees and wants to have, but something is preventing him from having it, the same way that something is preventing these shipwrecked people from reaching the island and saving themselves from certain death.

2. This idea is in keeping with the theme of the story that humans are subservient to nature's power.
The entire story written by Crane is talking about how people want to control nature, but are ultimately unable to do so because nature is the actual ruler, and not people. People may think they are able to control nature, but in cases such as this one in the story, we can see how we are powerless when faced with nature and all of its glory and strength. It controls are fates and destinies, and it is the one who will decide whether we live or die.

Answer from: Quest

gilgamesh is an epic hero from birth, as he's brought to the world by the hand of several gods who shaped him with the goal of saving humanity. there's a passage from the text that reads "the glorious sun shamash bestowed upon him glory; adad the terrible god of storms bestowed upon him courage. the great gods perfected his magnificence beyond all others, terrible like the great wild bull". this is a great example that show some of the super-human qualities that the gods gave gilgamesh upon his birth.

as gilgamesh grows he has to face many challenges that put his heroism to task. the courage he displays along the way, prove that he's ready to live up to the godly qualities brought upon him. at one point he has to overcome a wild beast by the name of hubamba "whose roar is a flood, whose mouth is fire, whose breath is death", as the text reads. the actions taken by gilgamesh, beating the beast with the use of his super-human force, examplify why he shoud be thought of as an epic hero.

hope this !

Iwill only mark brainliest if you get it correct. read the following prompt and type your response in the space provided. examine the diagram and text: you see water all around you every day as lakes, rivers, ice, rain and snow. there are also vast amounts of water that are unseen—water existing in the ground. and even though groundwater is unseen, it is moving below your feet right now. as part of the water cycle, groundwater is a major contributor to flow in many streams and rivers and has a strong influence on river and wetland habitats for plants and animals. people have been using groundwater for thousands of years and continue to use it today, largely for drinking water and irrigation. life on earth depends on groundwater just as it does on surface water. there are rivers flowing below our feet … a myth? have you ever heard that there are rivers of water flowing underground? do you think it’s true? actually, it is pretty much a myth. even though there are some caverns, lava, and ice tubes, and horizontal springs that can carry water, the vast majority of underground water occupies the space between rocks and subsurface material. some rivers, such as the alpha river in northern florida, usa, can disappear underground during low flow periods. generally, water underground is more like water in a sponge. it occupies the space is between soil and rock particles. at a certain depth below the land surface, the spaces between the soil and rock particles can be totally filled with water, resulting in an aquifer from which groundwater can be pumped into used by people. courtesy of the u. s. geological survey is there missing or extraneous information in this diagram? are all of the details in the text relevant and accurate? explain using details from the text.
