Leia o trecho do conto "The Black Cat" escrito por Edgar
Allan Poe e publicado em 1845.
To those who have cherished an affection for a faithful and sagacious dog, 1 need hardly be at the trouble of explaining the nature or the intensity of the gratification thus derivable.

“He always thought of the sea as 'la mar' which
is what people call her in Spanish when they love
her. Sometimes those who love her say bad
things about her but they are always said as
though she were a woman. Some of the younger
fishermen, those who used buoys as floats for
their lines and had motorboats, bought when the
shark livers had brought much money, spoke of
her as 'el mar' which is masculine.They spoke of
her as a contestant or a place or even an enemy.
But the old man always thought of her as
feminine and as something that gave or withheld
great favours, and if she did wild or wicked
things it was because she could not help them.
The moon affects her as it does a woman, he
thought.”
— Ernest Hemingway, The Old Man and the Sea
According to the passage from "The Old Man and the Sea," why does the old man believe the sea does

Birth of Venus is one of the most famous paintings
in the world. It was painted by Alessandro di Mariano
Filipepi, known as Sandro Botticelli, who was an Italian
painter of the Florentine School that emerged in the
early Renaissance period. In mythology, Venus wasconceived when the Titan Cronus castrated his father, the god Uranus, whose severed genitals fertilized the sea.
Venus was
conceived when the Titan Cronus castrated his father, the
god Uranus, whose severed genitals fertilized the sea.
Venus is an arrestingly beautiful figure with her
delicate skin and soft-flowing curls fresh from the sea.
Historically, this is the most important depicted nude since
classical antiquity.
Apart from its artistic quality, Birth of Venus is
noteworthy for having been the first known Tuscan work of
art to be painted on canvas, which is now standard but was
then revolutionary, with paintings customarily done on more
expensive wood panels. It was restored in 1987 to heighten
the bright vividness of the painting as it first appeared, an
effect achieved by the use of lustrous alabaster powder and
gold leaf.
