Divine intervention is when the gods do something 'against the rules' to help someone. I'm not sure what book you're talking about but a regular example would be if someone prayed while someone else was banging on the doors and the doors magically turned to stone

Divine intervention refers to instances in which a God interferes in a mortal's life in order to bring him some benefit. The idea of divine intervention carries a connotation of not being allowed according to divine rules.

In <em>The Odyssey</em>, there are many examples of Athena interfering with the characters in order to help them. Athena helps Odysseus during the shipwreck in Book 5 and in the battle of Book 22. She also intervenes by  sending Telemachus to Pylos and Sparta, and by appearing to Penelope in dreams.

How I can write a paragraph using the words “scheme, hoard, irreproachable, conspicuous, and ominous??”
wariber [46]
<h3>I would write a "detective" paragraph, including a character they are researching, such as a thief.</h3><h3 />

<em>Sentence examples - </em>

  • ...his hoard of stolen items lurking in his lair.
  • ...with his sinister scheme, waiting for the perfect opportunity to pounce into action.
  • ... slinking into the ominous darkness.
  • Leaving no conspicuous clues at the crime scene...
  • irreproachable idleness of sleep...

Example Paragraph -

I woke from my irreproachable idleness of sleep to the ring of my cell. At the absurd time of 1 am, I drowsily, picked up the phone, answering with a dull "Hello". A panicked and angry storekeeper yelled into my ear, reporting a robbery at his shop in the centre of Brocklevin, only a block away from my flat. We exchanged words as I quickly dressed. "I'll be there shortly," I assured the anxious storekeeper before hanging up and brisk;y wandering into the night, flashlight in hand. In just two minutes I had arrived. Carefully I stepped into the scene of the crime. The thief had done the crime in a rush, yet left no conspicuous clues to their identity at the crime scene. I kicked the several knocked over cans, searching for any evidence. As I walked about, there was no doubt in my mind that the criminal was forming another sinister scheme, waiting for the perfect opportunity to bounce back into action. Frustrated, I paced around the shards of broken glass. I tried to think like the thief, slinking into the ominous darkness of the ally. After what seemed like an hour of futile searching, I found something valuable. A small salmon-coloured pouch about the size of a wallet. Excited, I opened it with furious enthusiasm. Inside was a hoard of small objects and a single yellow rose.

  • Just think of my example paragraph as an inspiration, and create a unique scenario!
  • Hope this helped!~

Introduction
kirza4 [7]
Homeschooling sucks for children all across america and coronavirus is coming for everyone’s education. Homeschooling at home is definitely making it harder for children to learn with correct resources. For example, some children with 504 plans are having a harder time to learn because the don’t receive extra time on test and quizzes. I understand teachers might not like it and neither might the government but currently it is necessary to stop the spread. Although it can be difficult we all just need to try to hang in there until the virus can stop spreading.

The rain how it fell; the cadaver smell

Retching, gagging, holding back the bile.

Satan’s work, merciless, callously wild.
