Which best describes another comparison that melville could have used to symbolize the rigid and unalterable character of ahab in chapter 28 of moby-d. ck? an uninhabited island a full moon a stone monument a forest fire

The correct answer is C) a stone monument.

The option that best describes another comparison that Melville could have used to symbolize the rigid and unalterable character of Ahab in Chapter 28 of Moby Dic is "a stone monument."

Ahab was described as a reserved person. Nobody knew what he was thinking. That is why it could have been compared with a stone monument. A firm person, made or rock, no talking, and cold. A character rigid, cold, no feelings,    that never changes. And that nobody can really know what he is thinking or feeling because he has no expression at all.

The other options of the question were a) an uninhabited island, b) a fool moon, and d) a forest fire.

the answer is c

the speech this question is referring to is president kennedy's special message to the congress on urgent national needs, may 25, 1961

kennedy responds in a very direct and concrete way to those thinking that communism is a positive system:

"yet their aggression is more often concealed than open. they have fired no missiles; and their troops are seldom seen. they send arms, agitators, aid, technicians and propaganda to every troubled area. but where fighting is required, it is usually done by others--by guerrillas striking at night, by assassins striking alone--assassins who have taken the lives of four thousand civil officers in the last twelve months in vietnam alone--by subversives and saboteurs and insurrectionists, who in some cases control whole areas inside of independent nations." (kennedy)

president kennedy presents communism as cowardly, as a hidden and treacherous weapon that strikes from the shadows like thieves, he represents the system as not even being capable of showing and open and overt attack or confrontation. to finish up the response, he expresses that the system attacks even a country's idependence and freedom.
