An important aspect of a theme is that it is "universal" which means it can be applied beyond the story itself. Compare and cont

The story “Mercury and the Workmen,” a famous Greek fable, deals with the topic of honesty. In the story, the honest man is rewarded, and the dishonest one punished, highlighting the importance of honesty and the benefits it can bring. This theme is universal, as honesty is appreciated everywhere in the world. This moral therefore is relevant for a wide range of stories and situations beyond the Greek story itself.

Another famous story that gives a lesson on the importance of honesty is “The Necklace” by Guy de Maupassant. There are several similarities between both stories. In both cases, dishonesty is punished, and the dishonest characters end up worse than they would have been if they had not attempted to tell a lie. However, they are different in that in the Greek story, it is Mercury who punishes the liar, while in the French story the consequences are brought about by fate. Also, the motivation to lie in the first story is greed, while in the second one it is a desire for recognition and status. Both stories are good examples of this universal theme.

Which of the following words has a negative connotation? (10 points)  Discouraging  Freedom  Exhilarated  Bulb
boyakko [2]
The word with a negative connotation is discouraging.

When someone is discouraged, they are dispirited, disheartened, and with a lack of enthusiasm; this has a negative implication.

All other options have positive connotations, except maybe bulb, which is pretty neutral.

I hope this helps you!

If you wanted to leave the community, where would you go to start the process in the giver. Plz answer this
nignag [31]

Answer:

If I wanted to leave the community I would ask to be released from it and if it was denied I would flee by the river.

Explanation:

"The Giver" presents a utopian society that, in an attempt to end any inequality in society, decides to monitor and make all the choices of society, including in relation to its professions and relationships. In chapter 6 of this book, we can see that it is possible to leave this community, if an individual wants to. In this chapter, we learn that there were cases of people who did not like the profession to which they were assigned and fled the community by crossing a river, but in this same chapter, we are informed that it is possible to lose a license to leave the community, if the individual does not want to do what you've been told.

Evaluate Harper Lee’s rendering of Bob Ewell. To what extent does Bob Ewell fit the description of the redneck stereotype? What
timurjin [86]

Answer:

Bob Ewell perfectly fits the redneck stereotype. He corresponds to the social stereotype of not being educated and being of the working class. He also fits the cultural stereotype of rednecks by demonstrating blatant and base bigotry as well as uncouth comportment (when he is called to testimony). Ewell is also an alcoholic and displays violent tendencies.

This matches the redneck (poor white Southerner) formula to near exactitude.  

Even his name (Bob) and daughter's name (Mayella) seem to fit this image.

Bob Ewell is intended to represent a particular role of prejudice and racism in Southern society. Though it serves as a symbol, his character can be considered more than a mere stereotype... as it says something critical about his society. Societies are complex.

Explanation:

Hope this helps :)
