Read the excerpt from "the most dangerous game." he struggled up to the surface and tried to cry out, but the wash from the speeding yacht slapped him in the face and the salt water in his open mouth made him gag and strangle. desperately he struck out with strong strokes after the receding lights of the yacht, but he stopped before he had swum fifty feet. a certain cool-headedness had come to him; it was not the first time he had been in a tight place. there was a chance that his cries could be heard by someone aboard the yacht, but that chance was slender, and grew more slender as the yacht raced on. he wrestled himself out of his clothes, and shouted with all his power. the lights of the yacht became faint and ever-vanishing fireflies; then they were blotted out entirely by the night. rainsford remembered the shots. they had come from the right, and doggedly he swam in that direction, swimming with slow, deliberate strokes, conserving his strength. for a seemingly endless time he fought the sea. he began to count his strokes; he could do possibly a hundred more and then— what details from the narration show that rainsford is a rational individual who does well in moments of danger? check all that apply. he struggled up to the surface and tried to cry out desperately he struck out with strong strokes after the receding lights of the yacht a certain cool-headedness had come to him; there was a chance that his cries could be heard by someone aboard the yacht [d]oggedly he swam in that direction, swimming with slow, deliberate strokes, conserving his strength.

hmm, sadly there is no dialogue. there is no place in the story where he is talking to anyone. it's more of just describing what he eats and where he sleeps. you have to become anne frank, give details of where you are, what other folks look like, how the environment is. have a little bit of dialogue tell of what people are specifically saying. anne frank talked about her entire household including the people, the objects, the lighting, the food they ate, and even the smell in the air. there has to be more to your diary entries, the whole story in its current state is only about peter van daan, the food, the sounds, and where he sleeps. also he seems to be writing only once a year yet more than that happened from day to day. for a friend, i can you write it out, if you want.

the correct answer is: reveal gregor as an untidy individual.

in metamorphosis by franz kafka, gregor samsa is the main character, who one day wakes up as a bug, and the attitude he takes upon his transformation forces him to go deeper on his existence and the new features of his body.

in this excerpt the writer mentions a table full of collection textile samples, which gives us a hint about gregor being messy. later on the book we discover how he is a really untidy individual.

the grass-plot before the jail, in prison lane, on a certain summer morning, not less than two centuries ago, was occupied by a pretty large number of the inhabitants of boston; all with their eyes intently fastened on the iron-clamped oaken door.
