Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn draws from certain biblical themes, such as a storm symbolizing destruction. Which detail best shows this symbolism?
We spread the blankets inside for a carpet, and eat our dinner in there. We put all the other things handy at the back of the cavern. Pretty soon
it darkened up, and begun to thunder and lighten; so the birds was right about it. Directly it begun to rain, and it rained like all fury, too, and I
never see the wind blow so. It was one of these regular summer storms. It would get so dark that it looked all blue-black outside, and lovely; and
the rain would thrash along by so thick that the trees off a little ways looked dim and spider-webby, and here would come a blast of wind that
would bend the trees down and turn up the pale underside of the leaves, and then a perfect ripper of a gust would follow along and set the
branches to tossing their arms as if they was just wild, and next, when it was just about the bluest and blackest-FST! it was as bright as glory,
and you'd have a little glimpse of tree-tops a-plunging about away off yonder in the storm, hundreds of yards further than you could see before;
dark as sin again in a second, and now you'd hear the thunder let go with an awful crash and then go rumbling, grumbling, tumbling down the
sky towards the under side of the world, like rolling empty barrels down stairs-where it's long stairs and they bounce a good deal, you know...
The river went on raising and raising for ten or twelve days, till at last it was over the banks. The water was three or four foot deep on the island
in the low places and on the Illinois bottom.

according to archimedes principle, volume of water displaced = volume of water.

hence volume of rock is = 1.65l or 1650 cm^3

explanation:

when i skim a text i look for anything i'm trying to find, like keys or clues or i just want to see if it is interesting to me.

explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
