What important naturalist theme is reflected in this excerpt from Stephen Crane's "The Open Boat"?
The birds sat comfortably in groups, and they were envied by some in the dinghy, for the wrath of the sea was no more to them than it
was to a covey of prairie chickens a thousand miles inland. Often they came very close and stared at the men with black bead-like eyes.
At these times they were uncanny and sinister in their unblinking scrutiny, and the men hooted angrily at them, telling them to be gone.
...the captain gently and carefully waved the gull away. After it had been discouraged from the pursuit the captain breathed easier on
account of his hair, and others breathed easier because the bird struck their minds at this time as being somehow gruesome and
ominous.

The seagulls are an omen of bad luck that create a feeling of dread in the crew.
The seagulls symbolize the subconscious fears and anxieties of the crew.
The seagulls are a sign that nature will not protect the crew from drowning.
The seagulls are indifferent, yet the crew believes they are mocking them.

Read the excerpt from the story The Big Move:

Sandeep and Den were best friends living on a small island off the coast of Maine. They weren't alike, but they were two peas in a pod. Den was usually calm, logical, and level headed, while Sandeep often reacted based on his emotions. Still, they did everything together. They biked down to the general store to spend their allowance every Saturday afternoon, spent their summers at the same camp, and took the ferry every morning to the same school on the mainland. In fact, the two were inseparable.

That is until one beautiful summer day when Den came over to Sandeep's house for lunch.

"We're moving," Den said.

"Ha! Yeah, right. What do you mean you're moving?" Sandeep replied.

Den elaborated, "Mom and Dad say we're moving to the mainland. With my dad's new job, he says it's too hard to commute on the ferry for the night shifts he's doing."

Sandeep did not know what to do with this information. He stared down sadly at his grilled cheese sandwich, not knowing how to reply. He felt nauseous at the thought of losing his best friend.

"Well, aren't you going to say something?" Den asked, his face filled with concern about his friend's response.

Sandeep was angry and sad at the same time. He didn't know how to express his emotions, so instead, he lashed out at Den, "Fine! Go then. We were never really friends anyway."

Den was shocked at this response, "What do you mean? Of course we're friends. Best friends! You don't mean that."

Sandeep said nothing as tears slowly welled up in Den's eyes, and he stood up to leave. He wanted to tell Sandeep that they could still see each other, and they would still be going to the same school, but every time he opened his mouth to speak, Sandeep said he didn't want to hear it. He took one look back at Sandeep and walked out the door.

Almost immediately, Sandeep realized he had made an egregious mistake. He knew that he should have talked it out with his friend and that they could probably work it out together. After all, he didn't even know exactly where his friend was moving nor if he was changing schools. Sandeep jumped on his bicycle to try to catch up with him before it was too late.

By the time Sandeep reached Den, they were near the ferry landing on the western side of the island. The ferry bobbed slightly as its doors lowered to allow the cars off the boat and another line up of cars, which had accumulated since the last trip, on. Sandeep remembered how, one time, he and Den rode their bicycles to the ferry and crossed to the small mainland town on the other side. He yelled for Den to stop, "Hey, Den! I'm sorry, and I didn't mean it!" Den stopped and looked back him with eyes full of salty tears. Sandeep rode up to him and continued, "I'm really sorry about what I said to you there. I just don't know how to react to this. I mean, you're my best friend, and we do everything together."

Den's face softened as his tears began to dry while he spoke, "It's okay, Sandeep. I'm upset about it, too, but if you would have let me talk earlier, I could have told you that we are still going to be going to the same school every day. My family bought a cottage on the island, so we can vacation here every summer. We are just moving to the mainland on the other side because Dad wants to cut waiting for the ferry from his trip. We'll be just a short ferry ride away. Do you remember that time when we rode our bikes to the ferry? Well, we can do that again, and as we get older, we can probably just meet up on either side all the time. It won't be too bad."

At this news, a smile grew across Sandeep's face. "Well, why didn't you say so in the first place?" he laughed. Den began to laugh as well as the two boys looked across the water to the other side. "Well," Den said, "we'd better get moving." Sandeep looked confused. "Moving where?" he inquired with a worried look on his face. Den smirked as if he was about to tell a joke, "Back to your house to finish our lunch, of course!" The boys rode back to Sandeep's house side by side and as inseparable as always.

The Sound of Thunder



From the clouds to a nearby tree or roof, a lightning bolt takes less than a second to split through the air. The loud thunder that follows the lightning bolt is often said to come from the bolt itself. However, the grumbles and growls we hear in thunderstorms actually come from the rapid spread of the air surrounding the lightning bolt.
As lightning connects to the ground from the clouds, a second stroke of lightning will return from the ground to the clouds. This follows the same path as the first strike. The heat from the electricity of this return stroke raises the temperature of the surrounding air. Since the lightning takes so little time to go from point A to point B, the heated air has no time to expand. The heated air is compacted, raising the air from 10 to 100 times the normal atmospheric pressure. The compacted air explodes outward from the path, forming a shock wave of compacted tiny atoms in every direction. Because of the explosion, the rapidly expanding waves of compacted air create a loud, booming burst of noise.
Because electricity follows the shortest route, most lightning bolts are close to vertical. The shock waves nearer to the ground reach your ear first, followed by the crashing of higher shock waves. Vertical lightning is often heard in one long rumble. But if a lightning bolt is forked, the sounds change. The shock waves from the different forks of lightning bounce off each other, the low hanging clouds, and nearby hills to create a series of lower grumbles of thunder.

Thunder Fun Facts:
To judge how close lightning is, count the seconds between the flash and the thunderclap. Each second represents about 300m (984.25ft).
Thunder is not only heard during thunderstorms. It can occasionally be heard when it is snowing.
Lightning does not always create thunder. In April 1885, five lightning bolts struck the Washington Monument during a thunderstorm, but no thunder was heard.
