In “the open boat” stephen crane shows that man projects his own fears on nature while nature remains indifferent. which lines in the excerpt reflect this theme?
canton flannel gulls flew near and far. sometimes they sat down on the sea, near patches of brown seaweed that rolled on the waves with a movement like carpets on a line in a gale. the birds sat comfortably in groups, and they were envied by some in the dingey, 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. one came, and evidently decided to alight on the top of the captain's head. the bird flew parallel to the boat and did not circle, but made short sidelong jumps in the air in chicken-fashion. his black eyes were wistfully fixed upon the captain's head. "ugly brute," said the oiler to the bird. "you look as if you were made with a jack-knife." the cook and the correspondent swore darkly at the creature. the captain naturally wished to knock it away with the end of the heavy painter; but he did not dare do it, because anything resembling an emphatic gesture would have capsized this freighted boat, and so with his open hand, 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 grewsome and ominous.

Ответ:
The first is the line: "At these times they were uncanny and sinister in their unblinking scrutiny, and the men hooted angrily at them, telling them to be gone." Here, all the birds are doing is staring at the men, yet the men feel they are "uncanny and sinister." The men are projecting their own fears on indifferent birds.
The final line also illustrates this theme: "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 grewsome and ominous." Here, the narrator tells us that the birds strike the men as being "grewsome and ominous." They believe the birds are foreshadowing some sort of evil. Again, they are projecting their own fears onto birds that do not care about them one way or another.

Gandhi says students, princes, and anarchists are influencing the political and cultural direction of India.
He describes farmers as the backbone of the society; the princes, with their jewels and wealth, as distant observers of the widespread poverty in the country; and anarchists as scared citizens who only spread negativity.
Gandhi draws a connection between these three groups. He feels the attitude of all the people in these groups has to change for the country to prosper and gain self-governance.
Gandhi feels that for the country to grow, the aristocracy must abandon its extravagant lifestyle.
Gandhi believes that anarchists spread fear because they are afraid of others. Gandhi says that fear and violence have no place in India.
