Which is the best statement of the theme of the story?

English

Answer:

C. People are more likely to follow those who lead by example, not force.

Explanation:

The story is similar to a morality play, in which it sets up a scenario to give a perspective into real-life behavior and attitudes. Iktomi seems kind of self-important: he "[bosses] the other children around" and his "overpowering personality is disliked by others." He is juxtaposed with another unnamed boy, who apparently taught the children to make snowshoes.

Because the story ends with the other boy getting a leadership position, it is safe to conclude that <u>people are more likely to follow those who lead by example, not force.</u> Iktomi led with force in being bossy and authoritarian, whereas the other boy helped his peers and led by example.

“What can happen to great thinkers when their ideas are critical of others?”
Aliun [14]

Answer:

This can lead to, if the other person's idea is more popular or the other person themself is, the great thinker being discredited and/or disliked. Such as if someone said a very popular food was poisonous, but someone else said it wasn't, people might believe the latter person's idea, as they don't want the other to be true possibly. It can also possibly have the reverse effect of the person with the other idea being discredited and/or disliked. If the great think is known for being a great thinker, people might then think anyone who disagrees with them must be wrong and possibly even foolish or something. It also may lead to it being harder for people to realize when the great thinker is wrong because they might have already thought of how they must be right and started thinking that the other was clearly wrong because of that, which might dissuade them from realizing they were actually wrong and that the great thinker had made the mistake. This may also apply if both are correct, but people think the great thinker is *more* correct.

Read the poem.
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is: Cupid can appear in many forms.

Explanation:

In this poem, Ralph Waldo Emerson shares his thoughts about love and its transcendental nature by comparing the laws of men and laws of the church regarding the human spirit.

He states that Cupid can come in different appearances and forms, as love occurs differently in people's hearts, so Cupid is basically present all around us, in or lives and in our hearts. His appearances depend on us, our characteristics and personal point of view, which are creating our love and our love story.
