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.
OA.

Liam's white kitten lay curled up on the sofa like a snowball.

The kittens white fur had earned her the name Frosty the Snowman, but her feisty personality suggested that perhaps "Strong" might be more appropriate. In just a few days, Frosty had pulled down the curtains in Liam's bedroom, knocked a vase off the bookself, and sent the family dog into hiding. The kitten was a mini-tornado.

The white ball of fur pounced and hissed commandingly, just as a sudden storm shows it's power with thunder and lightning.

Why does Paine think that now is the time to break away from Britain? Check all of the boxes that apply.

Reconciling with Britain will lead to tyranny.

Other countries are breaking away.

No one knows if such an opportunity will come again.

Forming a constitution now will guarantee basic rights.

Britain is angry with America.
A government of our own is our natural right: And when a man seriously reflects on the precariousness of human affairs, he will become convinced, that it is infinitely wiser and safer, to form a constitution of our own in a cool deliberate manner, while we have it in our power, than to trust such an interesting event to time and chance . . . Ye that oppose independence now, ye know not what ye do; ye are opening a door to eternal tyranny, by keeping vacant the seat of government. There are thousands, and tens of thousands, who would think it glorious to expel from the continent, that barbarous and hellish power.
