Apex Demons torturing sinners.

Dante is describing sinners suffering in boiling pitch. Their suffering is eternal; they suffer in the pitch, and they suffer when they break the surface.

There is a pool of boiling pitch that the souls bob in and out of. When they break the surface, a demon grabs them and tears them apart. By remaining under the pitch for as long as possible, they can escape the demon's tortures and gain a form of peace. (This is a relative form of "peace" because they are still submerged in boiling pitch.)

When a demon does pull a sinner out, Dante describes him being pulled out by his hair. The demon, with the sinner hanging out of his mouth, appears to look like an otter.

Write a story to illustrate the saying a good name is better than riches​
Y_Kistochka [10]
Hey here’s a short story.
His name became a synonym for honesty and he also won the Silverbird Man-of-the-Year award for his honesty. He forgave Mr. Akinwande and Nwokocha and even gave them money for the upkeep of their families. Thus indeed, a good name is better than riches.
Hope it helps : )

What was Ray Bradbury's political views?
yarga [219]
Ray Bradbury was disturbed by the future of America. He was afraid for the fate of the whole earth, he acutely felt the threat of fascism. His political views are reflected in his works. That's why he received a special distinction: his name was included in fascists' list of those who was sentenced to death. On a day when they will come to power... But that day will never come because Ray Bradbury is not alone in America.

8. Describe Tom's religious behavior. Why does he act this way?
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

Tom becomes a religious fanatic and frequents churches all the time tirelessly. All of this is the result of fear and despair about what his soul's destiny will be.

Explanation:

"The devil and tom walker" tells the story of Tom who sold his soul to the devil in exchange for a treasure that left him rich and powerful. Tom was not religious and sold his soul without thinking twice, because he believed that nothing in the world would be more pleasurable for him than having a lot of money, for this reason, after selling his soul and getting paid, Tom lived a long life of wealthy people. and he was very happy that way, but when he realized that his life was coming to an end he was extremely nervous and very afraid to go to hell and suffer for eternity. This fear and despair at not knowing what would happen to him made him a religious fanatic. He tried desperately to save himself by attending churches all the time, carrying bibles wherever he went and praying frantically, but nothing was able to save him.
