How does the author create surprise in this myth?

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.

Ludmilka [50]
I think they would react by being sad momentarily but looking at this as a positive, knowing they need to study harder for the next exam, as well as going back over the exam taken to figure out what they got wrong and work to understand those concepts

What social commentary does Mark Twain make in this excerpt from "The £1,000,000 Bank-Note"?
Komok [63]
The correct answer is B: Rich Londoners are quick to bet huge sums of money to settle trivial arguments. This is because they were betting whether or not he would starve in a month. This is of course, not an actual concern and just an exaggeration, since rich people don't starve.

I really don't have a conflict that I experienced I tried to just come up with one but I can't, it doesn't have to be a real con
kakasveta [241]
"One conflict I've faced is the possibility of rejection, specifically in auditioning for my school's advanced choir. I was unwaveringly nervous of rejection because it would mean, in my eyes, that I wasn't a good enough singer. Eventually, I decided it was best to try and possibly succeed than to live life in torment of the "what ifs." Now, almost a year later, I sing louder than anyone in my section of Basses, all because I went for it. Had I been overwhelmed by my fear of rejection, I never would have met my new friends or fallen in love with the songs I now sing."

As for your own conflict, you can think of something most people don't really think about, like lying to protect someone's feelings or not agreeing with something your parents do and you not knowing what to do about it.
