“It could eat all the streams we know and still be thirsty. Its name is Ou-dis-sun, the Sacred, the Long.”

“Toward the setting of the eighth sun, I came to the banks of the great river.”

Answer:

  • “It could eat all the streams we know and still be thirsty. Its name is Ou-dis-sun, the Sacred, the Long.”  
  • “No man of my tribe had seen it, not even my father, the priest. It was magic and I prayed.”

Thse two details show that the narrator is cautious in this new setting. The first sentence states that the river was extremely long, and that it could eat all the streams and still be thirsty. This shows that the narrator believes the river to be very powerful, and he is amazed at its magnitude. The second sentence states that he believes the river to be magical, and that this encouraged him to pray. This shows the reverence he has for the river, and how impacted he is by being in this new setting.

The Cay is a children's novel and book one of the Cay series, written by American author Theodore Taylor, and published in 1969. 11-year-old Phillip Enright and his mother board the S.S. Hato to Virginia to escape Curaçao, which has been surrounded by German submarines. The ship is torpedoed, and Phillip, blinded by a blow to the head, is stranded at sea with an old black man called Timothy and a cat called Stew Cat. Initially Phillip, heeding his mother’s racist warnings, is full of distain for Timothy. They come ashore on a cay – a low sandbank. Here Timothy teaches Phillip to look after himself, and their friendship grows. Timothy dies, and a devastated Phillip is rescued, along with Stew Cat. The novel was awarded the Jane Addams Children's Book Award in 1970, but due to controversy over the racism in the novel, the award was rescinded. Opposing this, Taylor described The Cay as "a subtle plea for better race relations and more understanding.”

Why does Faustus wish to be a beast?
atroni [7]

<u>Answer:</u>

Faustus wish to be a beast because (A) Beasts feel no pain.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Faustus is very clever and urges for many things in life. He wants knowledge and power that surpasses that of humans.  

Mephistopheles is the beast Faustus wishes to be. He thinks that he can fulfil all his dreams only by becoming a devil or a beast. So, he makes a deal with the beast and exchanges his soul with that of a beast in lure of knowledge and power. Faustus thinks that all beats are happy and when they die their souls dissolve. So, throughout his life, he commits sin and when at the end he realises his mistake and repents. But it is too late then.

rewona [7]

<span>I believe the correct answer is the second statement – that anyone can understand and enjoy the books.</span>

 

In the second paragraph of “Preface to Buddhism and Buddhists in China”, the idea that author is trying to convey about the book, using descriptors like "not textbooks," "impressionistic," and "introductions" is that everyone can enjoy and understand books as the purpose of each volume in this series is impressionistic rather than definitely educational.
