The chorus is an important element of drama. In Antigone, it serves multiple purposes, such as providing background information

about events that occurred before the start of the play. Which lines in this excerpt from Antigone serve the purpose of describing recent events?
CHORUS:
But ere a torch our crown of towers could burn,
Ere they had tasted of our blood, they turn
Forced by the Dragon; in their rear
The din of Ares panic-struck they hear.
For Zeus who hates the braggart's boast
Beheld that gold-bespangled host;
As at the goal the paean they upraise,
He struck them with his forked lightning blaze.

To earthy from earth rebounding, down he crashed;
The fire-brand from his impious hand was dashed,
As like a Bacchic reveler on he came,
Outbreathing hate and flame,
And tottered. Elsewhere in the field,
Here, there, great Area like a war-horse wheeled;
Beneath his car down thrust
Our foemen bit the dust.

Seven captains at our seven gates
Thundered; for each a champion waits,
Each left behind his armor bright,
Trophy for Zeus who turns the fight;
Save two alone, that ill-starred pair
One mother to one father bare,
Who lance in rest, one 'gainst the other
Drave, and both perished, brother slain by brother.

Now Victory to Thebes returns again
And smiles upon her chariot-circled plain.
Now let feast and festal should
Memories of war blot out.
Let us to the temples throng,
Dance and sing the live night long.
God of Thebes, lead thou the round.
Bacchus, shaker of the ground!

I believe the third stanza is the correct answer:
<span>Seven captains at our seven gates
Thundered; for each a champion waits,
Each left behind his armor bright,
Trophy for Zeus who turns the fight;
Save two alone, that ill-starred pair
One mother to one father bare,
Who lance in rest, one 'gainst the other
Drave, and both perished, brother slain by brother.

These lines tell the story of what happened immediately prior to the play Antigone. It describes the events of when her two brothers fought and kill each other in battle, which is the reason why the play Antigone exists. The first two stanzas describe events from a long time ago, and the fourth one are current events. The third one gives a background to the story, which is why I'd pick that option.

What role does Govinda not play in Siddhartha’s life?
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

best friend

Explanation:

Govinda has come the way of Siddhartha, but on his own — <u><em>not as a disciple or as a follower of Siddhartha. </em></u>

Govinda's attaining the transcendent beatific smile and union with the river of life is, therefore, his own. Most important, he has accomplished this in the only way one can — independently.

In Siddhartha, Govinda is Siddhartha's <u>oldest friend</u>. We meet Govinda in the village of Siddhartha's birth. The story follows both of their attempts to find enlightenment. Initially, the two leave a life of great comfort, working as Brahmin and trying to find enlightenment through rituals.

The question is at the bottom.
alexgriva [62]

Hello. You left the question incomplete. Here is the continuation:

... these colonies of tiny organisms would not last. In fact, we’d be lucky if they lasted 5 more years. She cared about the safety of these coral reefs more than she has cared about anything for a long, long time. She had to do something for the fragile, endangered habitat with its fish, mollusks, worms, crustaceans and many more.

So, she used her money to create a lab at her aunt’s house. She worked tirelessly—endlessly—sleeping only when she had to.

“It’s what mom and dad would have done,” she thought.

Her best friend Sam, would hang out with her everyday—eating pizza, fries, and whatever else he could get his hands on, keeping her company with his humor while Sophie worked on her experiments. And now, she has a biological solution in her hands.

She hesitated at the door to the labs. Nervously, she shifted her lab report from one hand to the other.

“I know that have an innovative approach to solving the coral reef issue and I know I can help,” she said to no one.

The image of being ridiculed by these professors, delayed her entry. She stood outside the door, wanting to run back- wanting to hide- glued to the icy spot.

“Hey, Sophie!” She turned at the unexpected sound of Sam’s voice.

“I’ve been… trying to catch up with you,” he panted- out of breath. “Let’s go in and… show them… what you’ve got.”

Sophie tilted her head, smiled at Sam and opened the door. She walked confidently to the front, laid out her research on the podium and began her presentation. When her presentation ended, it was to the enthusiastic sound of the scientists’ applause.

Setting:

Protagonist

Rising Action:

Conflict:

Climax:

Falling Action:

Resolution:

Answer:

Scenario: Winter in New York in the current year.

Protagonist: Sophie.

Rising Action: When sophie is outside the room debating with herself.

Conflict: Sophie is concerned that her research will be disregarded and serve as a joke to scientists.

Climax: Sophie enters the room to show her research to the scientists.

Falling action: Sofia ends her presentation.

Resolution: Scientists applaud Sophie's research and presentation.

Explanation:

The scenario is the environment in which the story takes place.

The protagonist is the main character in the story, the one who moves the plot and where all the situations occur around this character.

Rising action is the part of the script where the tension starts to build up towards the climax.

Conflict is the element that shows what the protagonist will need to face.

Climax is the moment when the character will face his challenge.

Falling action occurs when the character fought the challenge he had.

Resolution is the part of the script that ends the story with the defeat or victory of the character.

Right me a paragraph of why students should be allowed to use phones in school ?
kirza4 [7]

Students should be able to use their phones for two reasons. The first being to be able to communicate with others better. If students were given their phones, they would be more aware of their surroundings and better able to adapt to new things. The second reason students would benefit from phone use is in case of emergencies. If there is any type of accident or emergency, students should be able to use their phones to contact authorities, parents, and friends.

Best of luck.
