Irony is an important element in the work of Sophocles. The plot of the tragedy takes shape in the way Oedipus is in the seek for salvation of the plague. He is determined to find the man responsible, however, ironically it is himself the one who caused it. Eyes are to allow us to see, but in the case of Oedipus it is also ironic that he has his sight in good condition, although he is unable and refuses to see the real truth. A third example of irony would be that Thiresias, a blind prophet, has the capacity to contemplate and see the actual origin of the suffering of Thebes, in spite of his physical inability.

Answer:

Vacations are meant to be enjoyed and to explore new stuff and hobbies. Summer vacation offers everyone a lot of time and comfort to develop new skills. Last year, I visited Jammy and Kashmir with my parents during my summer vacation. We booked tickets and hotels two months earlier. It was a total of fifteen days trip. We reached Srinagar Airport at noon, and after one hour, we finally reached our hotels. We were greeted with the Sahara (a famous Kashmir coffee). As we were tired, we got fresh and had lunch. Thereafter, we went to the nearby market.

All the shops were decorated with wooden antiques and friends. We returned at 9 PM after having dinner in a famous restaurant. We went to attend the bonfire event, which is organized by the hotel staff. It was one of the fun events we played bingo. Then the next morning we went to visit Gulbarga, the snow-capped mountains. It is the beautiful scenic view in Kashmir and is still refreshed in my ey

Write an essay on self-love.
pogonyaev

Answer:

I hold myself to high standards and knowing that I was comparing myself to other people made me feel less beautiful. It made me less confident and it led me down the road of self-destruction. My mind was filled with what I could do and be rather than what I am doing now.

I turned on Beautiful by Christina Aguilera and started singing and dancing and all that I was worried about was gone. My mind became clear.

Nothing in this life will be easy, we will cry, laugh, scream and be silent. What you do to get over that wall is what defines you. There’s more than one way over a wall! Remember that!

We learn after our hard times what it means to love ourselves whole heartedly and how important it is to look in the mirror and say to yourself, “You are beautiful.”

Thinking positive thoughts enhances self-love and confidence. See how I told you that I was comparing myself, those thoughts resulted in me feeling less confident. I put down the phone and did things that made me feel beautiful and competent.

Thinking positive is not easy! With everything we as women go through already, positive thinking takes a lot of discipline. Your body regenerates itself with new cells creating new thinking and new habits.

Practice positive thinking and start doing things that make you feel like you are enough. If you think you can change the world, you probably will be the one to do it. Put your social media to rest and appreciate what’s here, right now, in front of you.

There’s nothing better than maturing and knowing that you are enough. All that you have is what the Creator gave you. Nothing more and nothing less.

You are what the creator made you to be and that’s perfection. You are no mistake and the mistakes that you do make, help you become the person you were meant to become.

Think of this when you’ve hit a wall, I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be. That helps me not stress myself with where I am in life. Instead of us encouraging women to be and act what they see on reality shows, we should be encouraging our women to love what they see first. Then love what you do and carry yourself with dignity and know that no one can take that away from you.

Trust yourself and work hard. Life gives no promises; all that the universe recognizes is your energy. You give out good energy, you will be given exactly what you give out.

Hope this helps

What does the phrase,"Such a sorrow doesn't come suddenly, there are thousand steps to take before you get there," mean?
olga2289 [7]
When you interpret a phrase or quote it's how you take it, so you break it down to find it's meaning:

"Such a sorrow doesn't come suddenly," (sad things don't just come out of nowhere), "there are thousand steps to take before you get there" (everything you do leads up to a moment). So the quote means,

Everything that happens in your life; every movement and every breath, leads to the moments; the moments you don't want to have, but you have to have. These moments are the sad, but hard moments. Every moment of our lives matter. Frankly, the impossible moments might drive you crazy, but you have to have those moments in order to get to the happy moments. Therefore I know the meaning of the quote, "Such a sorrow doesn't come suddenly, there are thousand steps to take before you get there," means that most of the moments in life are the good ones, but sad things have to happen- moments lead to that event, because time exists. Time is precious so cradle it; live your life as though you could fly.
