Answer:

"...  she settled over a meal of broken bones, a back alley Cleopatra."

Explanation:

An allusion is a figure of speech where the speaker/ author talks about something without explicitly stating it. In short, it is a passing reference to an unrelated context, be it historical, mythical, literary, or even religious. And to understand an allusion, the reader needs prior knowledge about the reference.

In the given text, the allusion is found in the line<em> "... she settled over a meal of broken bones, a back alley Cleopatra." </em>This is <u>an allusion to the character/ persona of Cleopatra, the historically famous queen of Egypt.</u>

Based on "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God," which best describes Edwards’s feelings toward his congregation?
Kaylis [27]

Correct answer choice is :


<h2>A) Compassionate</h2><h2 /><h2>Explanation:</h2><h2 />

Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God is a doctrine written by British Colonial Christian theologian Jonathan Edwards, taught to his own group in Northampton, Massachusetts to the strange effect, and again on July 8, 1741, in Enfield, Connecticut. It merges vivid description of Hell with perceptions of the world and indictments of the reality. Edwards's purpose was to teach his audiences about the fears of hell, the hazards of sin, and the terrors of being lost. Edwards explained the shaky position of those who do not follow Christ's urgent call to take forgiveness.

What "cage" did Lizabeth realize that her and her childhood companions were trapped in during the Great Depression? How did this
Makovka662 [10]

Answer and Explanation:

What "cage" did Lizabeth realize that her and her childhood companions were trapped in during the Great Depression?

Lizabeth is a character is Eugenia Collier's short story "Marigolds", set during the Great Depression. According to Lizabeth, who is also the narrator of the story, the cage in which she and the other children in story were trapped was poverty.

How did this "cage" limit Lizabeth and her companions, and how did they react to it as children?

<u>Lizabeth says poverty is a cage because it limits her and her companions. They know, unconsciously, that they will never grow out of it, that they will never be anything else other than very poor. However, since they cannot understand that consciously yet, the children and Lizabeth react to that reality with destruction. They channel their inner frustrations, project their anger outwards - more specifically, they destroy Miss Lottie's garden of marigolds.</u>

<em>"I said before that we children were not  consciously aware of how thick were the bars of our  cage. I wonder now, though, whether we were not  more aware of it than I thought. Perhaps we had some  dim notion of what we were, and how little chance we  had of being anything else. Otherwise, why would we  have been so preoccupied with destruction? Anyway,  the pebbles were collected quickly, and everybody  looked at me to begin the fun."</em>
