Question

To whose heart do you think the narrator is referring? What effect is created by the repetition of the word heart three times?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The sailor calls out again, but this time it isn't for the captain. He belts out the word “heart,” and this could mean that he is shouting out a) to his captain to keep heart, as in not to give up, or b) to his own heart, as if in pain.
