You cite something called APE format. After teaching 9th
grade English for several years, I can honestly say I do not know what that is. You may
be asking about APA format, a notation method.
Either way,
on , our service is to provide an answer to your question generally in paragraph
form.
Whitney seems to serve as a foil to Rainsford. A foil
is a character often close to the protagonist who helps highlight the main character's
traits by being different and almost exactly opposite of the main character. In this
story, Whitney is different from Rainsford in a few ways. First, he believes the
superstitions that the seamen have are well-founded. Whitney feels and experiences the
fear that is in the air. A second distinction between the two further develops the
contrast between fear and bravery. This occurs as Whitney discusses the fear of being
killed that a jaguar might have. Rainsford disagrees and blows off the idea entirely
because jaguars are just animals. These differences help develop the character traits in
Rainsford of bravery and confidence. We also see him as a hunter in the opening scene
and these traits fit him well. We would not get such a great picture of Rainsford
without Whitney.
