Which excerpt from "a cub pilot" by mark twain develops the author's point of view?
"this was almost an affront. it was about the plainest and simplest crossing in the whole river. one couldn't come to any harm, whether he ran it right or not; and as for depth, there had never been any bottom there."
"a pilot must have a memory, but there are two higher qualities which he must also have."
"therefore pilots wisely train these cubs by various strategic tricks to look danger in the face a little more calmly."
"it was a good enough lesson, but learned the hard way. yet about the hardest part of it was that for months i so often had to hear a phrase which i conceived a particular distaste for. it was, 'oh, ben, if you love me, back her! '"

I found all of this just for you!

Explanation:

"Two (2) is asking you to explain how the era the person lived in contributed to their experiences. Experiences usually work their ways into authors stories. And you have to use points of the memoirs that back your claims up.

Three (3) asks you to show the similarities and differences between "Barrio Boy" and "A Cub Pilot". Like the first question, you're being asked to explain how the author's experiences affect their writing. I'm sure somewhere in the stories, there are certain things that show why and how authors write the way they do and why they write the things that they do.

For question four (4); ask yourself this - what is the conflict of either "To Kill A Mockingbird" or "A Separate Peace"? When you figure out the conflict, figure out how it "drives the plot" or keeps the story going (that's the best way I can explain it). How do the characters in the story try to resolve the plot? What does this resolution suggest that the overall theme of the story is about?

I hope my answer clears up any confusion you may have had. Note that I won't give you the answers. I'm just going to give you rewritten (and somewhat more detailed versions) of the questions so that you can find the answers on your own."
