English
1 answer:
Katen [24]3 years ago
8 0

In<em> Damon and Pythias, </em>the author creates surprise when Dionysius pardons Damon and Pythias.

<em>Damon and Pythias </em><u>symbolizes friendship.</u> In the myth, Pythias is accused of conspiring against Dionysius and condemned to death. In that way, Damon offers himself to be held hostage and also to die in his friend's stead if Pythias does not return. However, when Phythias returns to save Damon's life, <u>Dionysius is so moved by their friendship and their loyalty that he ends up freeing both of them</u>. That is the 'surprise effect' that the author of the myth creates.

Paraphrase the following lines from Thoreau's Walden:
Elis [28]

Answer:

When Thoreau says <em>superfluous wealth</em> he refers to money that is not needed or there is more of it than enough and that with all that money can be bought just things that we do not need. Those things make us blind for what should be really important in life. As he goes on in the second sentence -  we can have money, but we can not buy what our soul needs. Life can be experienced far more fully when living simply.
