Epimetheus was one of the Titans, son of Iapetus and Clymene. He was the brother of Prometheus, Atlas and Menoetius. His name is derived from the Greek word meaning 'afterthought', which is the antonym of his brother's name, Prometheus, meaning 'forethought'. In this context, Epimetheus appeared as a foolish character, while Prometheus was the clever one.
Prometheus and Epimetheus were told to distribute characteristics to the newly created animals. Epimetheus started giving a positive trait to every animal, but lacking foresight, he realised that he had distributed all traits without having any left to give to man. So, Prometheus gave mankind the civilizing arts and fire.

How is the story "A dogs tale" structured?

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

The story "A Dog’s Tale" by Mark Twain is structured as “problem to solution.” The right answer is option C here.

Explanation:

The story is narrated from the "point of view" of Allie, the dog and the protagonist. Aileen is misunderstood and experiences the ups and downs of life. She is subjected to suffering and cruelty because of the "shallow belief" of her inferiority amidst humans. The story shows the difference between the inconsiderate nature of humans and loyal nature of dogs. Allie saves her master’s baby from an accident but is misunderstood and beaten up brutally. Even when the misunderstanding gets cleared, she is not praised rather her puppy is killed by the master to prove his opinion on optics to his scientist peers. Indeed, this story evokes too many emotions. It encourages humans to reflect on their actions and have respect for each life.
