Read the selection below and answer the question. an open boat by alfred noyes o, what is that whimpering there in the darkness?

 the boat must be lightened. he's dead. he must go.' 


 see - quick - by that flash, where the bitter foam tosses, 
 the cloud of white faces, in the black open boat,

 and wraps her loose hair round his breast and his throat.

 he's living, i know. but he's numbed with the cold. 
 see, i'm wrapping my hair all around him to warm him.' -

 and there are no voices or ghosts from that darkness, 
 to fret the bare seas at the breaking of day. the imagery and word choice in the second stanza creates a tone of liveliness and joy danger and gloom silence and peace anger and hostility
