What is the significance of the compass to the narrator? Help. This is from moon over mainifest.

a question like this requires the excerpt to be included in order to answer the question.

"the sandy walls seemed to collapse in on themselves"

and

"the bloodshot waters seemed to have no bottom"

the answer is subjective. i personally agree with the first answer for this question.

if one isn't strictly talking about objects then the correct answer would be 'my eyes' since according to this riddle i am asleep and in order to answer/open the door i need to open my eyes first of all.

however, if one is specifically looking for an object, then the first thing i would open would be the door

hope this !
