This question is missing the excerpt. I've found it online. It is the following:
Read the excerpt from Part 4 of The Odyssey.
As long as bread and good red wine remained to keep the men up, and appease their craving, they would not touch the cattle. But in the end, when all the barley in the ship was gone, so hunger drove them to scour the wild shore with angling hooks, for fishes and seafowl, whatever fell into their hands; and lean days wore their bellies thin.
Answer:
The theme that is best revealed by this conflict is:
A. It is easy to uphold morals when one is not suffering.
Explanation:
<u>In this part of the epic poem The Odyssey, by Homer, the hero Odysseus and his men have landed on an island. Even though there is cattle in the island, Odysseus has been warned to not allow his men to kill and eat it, since this cattle is sacred. However, the men are only capable of upholding their morals and respecting the order to not kill the cattle while they are not suffering. As long as they have food and wine, the cattle is safe. But, once they have consumed their provisions, they forget about their morals and the warning, kill the cattle, and end up dead as a punishment from the gods.</u>
If the character starts and ends in the same place, the plot has gone in a circle. For example, if Charlie was having problems with his teacher at the beginning of the story, and the story talks about the many weeks he has tried to fix these problems, yet the story ends with him still not resolving these problems, the plot had gone in a circle. There is not resolution, no ending, no fix.
Setting and tone/mood can be seen to go hand in hand, so to
speak. For instance, a scene of a story
or poem that takes place in a field of flower on a bright and sunny day would
contribute to a tone of happiness. That
said, the time _1984_ occurs is in the future for the characters of the
novel. The place is London, and the
weather and color are, respectively, dreary and gray. Because
the future can never be known for sure, this uncertainty contributes to the
dystopian tone. Likewise, when one
thinks about the miserable nature for people that would be caused by a dystopian
society, bright and sunny are not what one might generally think. Setting
in _1984_ contributes to the tone of dystopia because when one pictures what a
dystopia might look like, smoggy, foggy, and gray are probably what come to
mind.
The correct answer is A. :)
