HELPO ASAPP PLEASE Then I can hear the small sounds: the sound of water dripping
from the mussels on the ceiling or of water dripping from
seaweeds that line the walls-small, silver splashes losing
themselves in the vastness of the pool and in the confused,
murmurous whisperings that emanate from the pool itself-the
pool that is never quite still.
What is the most likely reason the author includes the sentence
in the passage?
O to explain why the tidal pool is in a constant state of motion
O to show that some aspects of the tidal pool are difficult to understand
O to prove to the reader that the tidal pool is an experience for all of the
senses
O to help the reader feel that he or she is experiencing the tidal pool
with the author

Ibelieve the answer is d : )

The red badge of courage documents henry's growth and maturity as a soldier through the changes in his personality and behavior. during this transition, henry's emotions run the gamut from glory to fear to depression to anger to exhilaration to courage to honor. his personality and behavior move from innocence to experience, in essence from doubt to duty. henry's maturing process occurs very quickly. in the span of just a few days, henry experiences a lifetime's worth of growth — from his enlisting for self-centered reasons of glory, to the exhilaration of his first battle, to his running from his second battle for fear of being killed, and, ultimately, to his facing the enemy and leading a charge as he becomes one of the bravest soldiers in his regiment. several examples from the novel illuminate the changes which take place in henry's character and in their relationship to the themes of doubt and duty.
