Which sentence best contributes to the mood of hopelessness in the excerpt?
The Open Boat
by Stephen Crane (adapted excerpt)
A seat in this boat was not unlike a seat upon a bucking broncho, and, by the same token, a broncho is not much smaller. The craft pranced and reared, and plunged like an animal. As each wave came, and she rose for it, she seemed like a horse making at a fence outrageously high. At the top of them were ordinarily these problems in white water, the foam racing down from the summit of each wave, requiring a new leap, and a leap from the air. Then, after scornfully bumping a crest, she would slide, and race, and splash down a long incline, and arrive bobbing and nodding in front of the next menace.
A singular disadvantage of the sea lies in the fact that after successfully surmounting one wave you discover that there is another behind it just as important and just as nervously anxious to do something effective in the way of swamping boats. In a ten-foot dingey one can get an idea of the resources of the sea in the line of waves that is not probable to the average experience which is never at sea in a dingey. As each slaty wall of water approached, it shut all else from the view of the men in the boat, and it was not difficult to imagine that this particular wave was the final outburst of the ocean, the last effort of the grim water. There was a terrible grace in the move of the waves, and they came in silence, save for the snarling of the crests.

Need asap how does black hawk’s rhetoric in this excerpt advance his viewpoint that his cultural experience has fueled in him great animosity for white men? the white men despise the indians, and drive them from their homes. but the indians are not deceitful. the white men speak bad of the indian, and look at him spitefully. but the indian does not tell lies; indians do not steal. a-he creates an extended metaphor to suggest he has a thorough understanding of white men. b-he uses alliteration to emphasize the morals and values of the indians. c-he employs personification to capture the confusion he feels when dealing with white men. d-he contrasts the image of white men driving indians from their homes with examples of the admirable conduct of indians.
