If the author wanted to write a story in which the main character looks back on the events of his long, full life, which would be the best way to start this story?

a) with the main character as a teenager in high school
b) with the main character as an 85-year old man, deep in thought about everything he has been through over the course of his life
c) with the main character as a 25-year old in his first job
d) with the main character as a four year old wondering about his future.

B)with the main character as an 85-year old man, deep in thought about everything he has been through over the course of his life

first of all the mood needs to be defined: it is obviously a mood of deceitful relief and serenity. why? because the cape horn is one of the most violent maritime regions of earth and although it has been left behind, it is a personification of ahab’s delirium and the fact that the end of the passage speaks about it about being “hidden” but “raving” immediately conveys the feeling the calm is not permanent but fleeting.

furthermore, the oxymoron “mild stun'sails” is the first instance of such feeling as the adjective “mild” is associated with “stunned” underscoring the fleeting nature of this “tranquil” moment. and the contrasts keep piling up, with the opposition between “dark den” and “blessed light and air” to end with the final conclusion that leaves the reader with the uneasy knowledge that this is just a reprieve.
