How does the word tranquil relate to the overall mood
of the passage?
A little more lather here under the chin, on the Adam's
apple, right near the great vein. How hot it is! Torres
must be sweating just as I am. But he is not afraid. He is a
tranquil man, who is not even giving thought to what he
will do to his prisoners this evening. I, on the other hand,
polishing his skin with this razor but avoiding the
drawing of blood, careful with every stroke - I cannot
keep my thoughts in order.
"Lather and Nothing Else,"
Hernando Tellez

 he's living, i know. but he's numbed with the cold. 
 see, i'm wrapping my hair all around him to warm him.' -
- 'no. we can't keep the dead, dear. come, loosen your hold.

 'come. loosen your fingers.' - 'o god, let me keep him! ' -

 to fret the bare seas at the breaking of day. the rhyme scheme of "an open boat" is abcb abab abba aabc
