1. The Greek name of the tragedy is Oedipus Tyrannos. The word "Tyrannos" can be translated as "usurper," an absolute ruler who

has seized power, not inherited it. Oedipus succeeds to the throne not by birthright, but through force, wit, and influence—killing Laios (not knowing who he is), answering the riddle of the Sphinx, and marrying the queen. How does the title "Tyrannos" reflect Oedipus’ reign over Thebes? How does it reflect one of the most powerful ironies in the play?

Oedipus is not destined to be the king of Thebes but he, however, rises to be. Although the throne is his birthright, his parents for fear of the fulfillment of the prophecy decide to kill him. The duty is delegated to a servant and Oedipus ends in the hands of the king and queen of Corinth. From the events that transpire after his birth, Oedipus is not predestined to be the king. He is at first thrown out of the throne. He only comes back to his homeland in fear of his fate. He manages to be the king because he has all that it takes to seize a throne.

Why do you think the "fireside chats" were so effective as a tool for spreading public awareness of Roosevelt's policies?
masha68 [24]
Fireside chats were effective during the war because if gave up where the enemy was. It helped our soldiers find them and kill them quicker, than it would of if there was no such thing as fireside chats. The other thing it was good for was keeping the public informed. If the public wasn't informed, then there was a greater chance of more areas being obliterated during the war from not knoeing the enemy was getting ready to strike. 

Hope this helps.

¿cual es la importancia de haceptar una identidad latinoamericana?
nevsk [136]

Answer:

La importancia de aceptar una identidad latinoamericana implica un sentimiento de unión y comunidad entre las diversas naciones ubicadas al sur de los Estados Unidos, como México, Argentina, Brasil, Colombia o Perú, entre tantas otras.

A través de la creación y aceptación de la identidad latinoamericana, se generaría un espacio de mayor unión y entendimiento entre estas naciones, lo cual redundaría en la creación de proyectos políticos, económicos, culturales, sociales y estructurales en común, que permitirían acelerar el progreso de la región y garantizar a sus ciudadanos una mayor calidad de vida.

Así, por ejemplo, la aceptación de esta identidad permitiría a América Latina crear un espacio común como lo es la Unión Europea, donde las naciones en pie de igualdad y en reconocimiento de sus características comunes buscarían adoptar proyectos comunes para lograr progresar a nivel regional.

What was the ultimate destination of the underground railroad?
DIA [1.3K]
Well, the main destination would have been Canada. This is because the northern laws had made the slave owners mandate the slaves to return to their owners in the south.
