3. The old man at once felt the resolution he had built up over so many years falling in. He was telling himself that he must no

t give in. He tried to steel his heart against all emotional appeals. It was a re-enactment of that other struggle. He leaned against a window and looked out. The sky was overcast with heavy black clouds and a high wind began to blow filling the air with dust and dry leaves. It was one of those rare occasions when even Nature takes a hand in a human fight. Very soon it began to rain, the first rain in the year. It came down in large sharp drops and was accompanied by the lightning and thunder which mark a change of season. Okeke was trying hard not to think of his two grandsons. But he knew he was now fighting a losing battle. He tried to hum a favourite hymn but the pattering of large rain drops on the roof broke up the tune. His mind immediately returned to the children. How could he shut his door against them? By a curious mental process he imagined them standing, sad and forsaken, under the harsh angry weather—shut out from his house. That night he hardly slept... According to the passage, what is the most likely reason that Okeke cannot sleep?
A. He regrets that he has acted so stubbornly and has caused his grandsons to suffer.
B. He is worried about the damage the storm will cause to his house and property.
C. He realizes that the season's change has come too early for his crops to grow well.
D. He is angry with his daughter-in-law for the emotional appeals to see his grandsons. Read this passage from "And of Clay Are We Created."

Answer: A. He regrets that he has acted so stubbornly and has caused his grandsons to suffer.

In this excerpt, we can see that Okeke feels guilty about the way he treated his two grandsons. We learn this when the narrator says that Okeke "was trying hard not to think of his two grandsons. But he knew he was now fighting a losing battle." We also know that he feels like he acted badly towards them, as the narrator states that Okeke was asking himself why he had closed his door against them. It is likely that this is the reason why Okeke was unable to sleep.

Epic poetry and Greek mythology are closely associated. Greek gods such as Zeus, Athena, and Hades are significant characters in
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

I would like to see more of Zeus in other epic and literary works because I feel as if there is never much talk about him in depth. His purpose in most just seems to be as the father of another child, or as the betrayer of his wife. All I really know about Zeus is his strength, backstory, family, specific powers, and the fact that he has slept around with many women. I would like to see if there are any other works where there is more to him than just all of that. I would like to know what kind of person Zeus is in his free time or if he has any thoughts when it comes to himself or helping others who ask of his assistance. I believe that Zeus would be interesting to see more of, especially since he is so powerful and there is little talk of the accomplishments he has made aside from his children.

I would like to see more of Hades in other epic poems and literary works. He has had so many different depictions and story-lines and I find it all to be interesting. He is depicted in the tale Persephone as being lonely and just wanting the company. In tales based more around his other brothers, however, he is shown as more of a heartless character who has never had feelings other than vile ones in his life. People have so many different takes on Hades and I feel like this makes him one of the most interesting Greek gods out there. He is such a complex character that some people don't even know how to universally describe him the same, and I think I would like to here everybody's different sides and views towards him.
