She returned to her 12th birthday bcuz she thinks it was unimportant. While she was reliving this she realized that all humans are blind. She realized that she took life for granted and did not appreciate the little things. She did not appreciate what she had until she had lost it. In the beginning the other dead people had warned her not to return to the land of the living but she still did it. When she returned she told them "I should have listened to you. That's all human beings are. Just blind people. Thornton wilder is trying to get the readers to appreciate the small things   because later on they become things you regret that you did not appreciate.

hope this helps :)

Name and explain the archetypes illustrated in the myth of Cupid and Psyche
neonofarm [45]
<span>The myth of Cupid and Psyche illustrates several archetypes. First, it uses the situational archetype of the Tasks or Tests that Psyche must perform. Psyche herself is an example of the Ingénue and/or Maiden character. She is young and beautiful and grows into a clever young woman. Venus is portrayed as the Wicked Witch or Stepmother with her unreasonable demands. The story calls to mind several situational archetypes: Beauty and the Beast, True Love's Kiss, and the Power of Love are all seen in this story. Like the story of Beauty and the Beast, Psyche believes she is being sent to be the bride of a horrific serpent who hides himself from her by day. And like that story, she is also led to betray him by her sisters who convince her to spy on him. Cupid awakening her from her deep slumber is like the traditional True Love's Kiss delivered by countless princes to awaken their princesses. And the Power of Love conquers all when Psyche is made immortal so the two lovers can be united forever.</span>

What does "but his peers are hoping their act of kindness will change his mind" mean in the sentence?
Amanda [17]
This sentence means a character had decided upon a certain action for a problem in their head. however other characters (the peers in this example) bestowed an act of kindness or "did something nice" for this other characters in hopes that he/she would change their mind. A good example would be if you upset your parent by acting up and they said no to a sleepover. you would do chores or act kindly towards them in order to try to get them to change their mind and say yes.
