Dante both uses and departs from the epic tradition. In a paragraph, give at least one example of each kind and explain why he u
katrin [286]

Hm, this is a tough one. If you <em>use</em> this make sure to <u>rearrange</u> some of the sections and add in some of <em>your own words</em>, ok?


   Dante Alighieri was a very <em>untraditional</em> writer, for unlike most other writers he sometimes followed the traditions yet he wasn't afraid to deviate and modify the old epic traditions. Most epics tell the adventures of a hero of old who vanquished evil, and to be honest Dante does recount a hero's journey. There is a major difference though between his and traditions though, because he varies this tradition by making himself the <u>theme/hero/subject/ect</u> of the epic called the Divine Comedy.

    Epic poets were traditionally pagan and so they would often call on the Muses, known as patron goddesses of the arts, for their inspirations and to help guide their poems. Unlike them Dante was a Christian, and he refused to use the pagan gods <em>"gods"</em> in this epic. Instead he utilizes the Latin poet Virgil whom he calls <em>"my mentor"</em> and Dante's childhood hero Bice Portinari, whom he gave the name Beatrice as guides for the main character throughout the story.

    Epics traditionally begin in "media res" which is Latin for "in the middle." Dante follows this tradition, although it's in his own unique way, by beginning the Divine Comedy <em>"halfway through the journey we are living,"</em> or in other words <em>"in the middle of his life"</em>.

    Many of the epic poems of this time period state the theme of the poem at the very beginning. Likewise, Dante begins to describes in the first stanzas of his poem his fear and disquiet but then he offers a vision of hope to the readers. He says that <em>"to describe the good discovered there / I here will tell the other things I saw"</em>.

<h3><em>If</em> you have anymore <u><em>questions</em></u> please be sure to ask and/or send me <em>a </em>friend request. I'm <em>always up for</em> a <em>challenge</em>. </h3><h2><em>Thanks!</em></h2>

What is something you can do to encourage someone else? Why is it important to life others up?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

Who do you love?  Tell your friend or family member you do.  We all need to hear that we are loved.

Cheer up one who is discouraged with a hug, spending time with her, sharing truth, giving hope, telling a joke.

Encourage someone beginning a new job with the latest motivational or business book in hardcover or on Kindle.

Make it a point to do what is good for all.  People notice and appreciate it when you put others’ needs before your own.

Some people are most encouraged by acts of service; rake leaves for an elderly neighbor, plant a porch pot and keep it watered, take the garbage to the street each week and return the empty can to the garage after pick-up, walk the dog.

Spouses need encouragement.  Leave “Post-it” notes with words of gratitude and love thoughts in special places.

Remind one who is struggling in a relationship that God loves each of us with an everlasting love.  He never quits on us, he never gives up on us.

Love on your spiritual leaders regularly, by sending her a card or note in the mail, asking him to breakfast or lunch, or offering your time in a helpful way.

Be patient with the clerk at the store, especially when there is a long line and challenging customers.  Offer an additional word of thanks.

Look out for a co-worker.  Everyone needs someone to be in their corner, to have their back.

Pray for someone when they share a hurt or burden.  Right then.  People are more blessed when you pray with them immediately, rather than saying I’ll be praying for you.

Do a task normally done by your partner. Just because.

Listen to a young person and value their ideas and opinions.

Choose to live a life of character and integrity.  It encourages others to stay the course and model your example.

Give a gift handmade by you.

Encourage a friend to put her hope in God who richly provides everything for our enjoyment.

Pick up the phone and take time to listen and encourage someone who lives far away.  Don’t do all the talking.

Validate the one you’re speaking with; the one who is sharing their heart may be feeling a lack of self worth. It’s a wonderful thing to be validated by a person you truly like and admire!

Have a few small gifts on hand to give someone, just because.

Be quick to listen and slow to talk.  Sometimes, the best encouragement is a listening ear.

Let your friend know you pray for her/him regularly.

Explanation:

Encouragement can provide people with strength to look ahead, move forward,and reach for the next goal. The whole emotional tone of a tough situation can be transformed through encouragement.” Put another way, encouragement can help us do the things that we might not ordinarily do.

Read this excerpt from The Land, Part 2. Now, I don't know what possessed me in that moment to say the next thing I did. Maybe I
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

B. Character vs. self.

Explanation:

In the story "The Land" part 2 by Mildred D. Taylor, we see the character of Paul riding Ghost Wind. Paul is a mixed race of a white father and a black mother, but whose father made sure that he enjoys the same rights as that of his white brothers. Set in  the post slavery era, the story revolves around the lives of Paul and his best friend Mitchell, who is the son of a worker at Paul's father's farm.

The given excerpt is from when Paul decided to let Mitchell ride his horse Ghost Wind, even though he was not supposed to ride it, considering he was the son of a worker. The decision of Paul in allowing his best friend to ride the horse is against their very upbringing, for workers have inferior rights. Mitchell, being the son of a worker, is supposed to be lower than Paul, his master's son. But foregoing all these, Paul decides to let him enjoy. The particular excerpt is a conflict of interest between Paul's character and his own self. He even states that he "<em>don't know what possessed me in that moment to say the next thing I did"</em>. This shows the conflict he has within himself.
