kogti [31]3 years ago

In Let Sleeping Dogs Lie, Goines tries to show the reader, in a satirical way, that some small issues are better left “asleep”. He uses imagery (irony and mockery for example), which is a figurative language, to describe and attack the bureaucracy of the United States government and ridicules the drafting system.

He uses satire as a literary device to speak about a complex subject in a more understandable way, putting out the idea of a sleeping dog which, at first, seems to be harmless because it is asleep, but then turns into a very big and dangerous problem when it is awaken.

Read the following passage:
faust18 [17]

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

A and B have no justification or details to support them so you can rule them out automatically. Then, by rereading the question you can see that you are supposed to infer, not restate, which rules out C as well. That leaves you with D. Hope this helps :)

In your own words tell briefly the main ideas in "the parable of a lost sheep"​
KengaRu [80]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

The parable of a lost sheep can be found in the book of Luke from Chapter 15 verse 3-7.

The parable of the list sheep was told by Jesus to show that God's Kingdom is accessible to those that have gone astray, to sinners and everyone as a whole.

According to Jesus, heaven rejoices when a sinner repents and turns a new leaf. There is happiness when a shepherd finds his lost sheep that has gone astray and he rejoices over it even more than the other 99 sheep that didn't go astray.

The idea is that when a sheep is lost, the shepherd will go after it and also when the sheep is found, heaven rejoices.
