THIS IS TWO PARTS FOR A QUESTION, ANSWER BOTH PLEASE! Part A In “A Cub Pilot,” why does the narrator believe that it is so important for a steamboat pilot to have a good memory? Each boat that a pilot steers is bound to be quite different from others. All jobs that require great skill also require very keen memories. Memory is very closely related to judgment and courage. The river’s physical features are constantly changing and hard to keep straight. Part B Which statement from “A Cub Pilot” best supports the answer in Part A? “One cannot easily realize what a tremendous thing it is to know every trivial detail of twelve hundred miles of river and know it with absolute exactness.” “To know the Old and New Testaments by heart . . . is no extravagant mass of knowledge, and no marvelous facility, compared to a pilot’s massed knowledge of the Mississippi.” “If you will take half of the signs in that long street, and change their places once a month, and still manage to know their new positions . . . you will understand what is required of a pilot’s peerless memory.” “By the time he has become a pilot, he cannot be unmanned by any danger a steamboat can get into; but one cannot quite say the same for judgment.”
