The dominant metaphors are light vs. darkness, and sight vs. blindness.  A reference to this metaphor occurs early in the play, when Oedipus falsely accuses Tiresias and Creon of conspiracy. Tiresias responds by using the same metaphor. Though at this point the reader cannot be sure which character is right, eventually Tiresias comes out the winner.  This is revealed as Oedipus learns his tragic fate. This causes the king to gouge out his eyes, which have been blind to the truth for so long. The idea of sight is critical in Oedipus the King.  Though Tiresias is physically blind, he sees the truth from the beginning, while Oedipus, who has physical eyesight, is blind to his fate.  By the end, Oedipus makes his eyes blind when he learns the truth and finally sees.

During Defoe's time, what line of thinking greatly affected personal choice within the British society?
olasank [31]

During Daniel Defoe's time, the line of thinking that affected personal choice within British society was The Great Chain of Being. According to this model, there was a hierarchical structure of nature and life though to have been established by God as a master designer. This hierarchy was essentially unalterable, and men presented the highest form of life on Earth.

The influence of the Great Chain of Being can be traced in Daniel Defoe's work. Particularly in the way he thought of individuals of other races, like in "Robinson Crusoe" with Friday. This and other novels classify Africans or other natives as a missing link between European men and animals or beasts. The fixity of the Great Chain of Being implied that no progress could be made, granting European White superiority over natives of other areas.

Can you simplify this question for me like what is it asking
Dominik [7]
This question doesn't sound like it has a right or wrong answer (the school just wants your opinion), so if I were you, just pick a random problem you have with the school and write about how the school could solve it. 

If you want to pick one of the "problems" (it is a little confusing) listed above, then just choose "rumors" and write about how the school could help when a bad rumor starts going around the school.

Just write whatever you feel is correct, there's no wrong answer on this.
