1Standing near the window, Joshua viewed the moving vans pull up next door. He couldn’t wait to meet his neighbors. Joshua saw a

boy his own age hop out of the truck. Walking outside, Joshua waved to his new neighbors.
2Joshua boldly walked up to the young man and shot a hand out in front of him. The young man looked like he did not know what to do with Joshua’s outstretched hand. Joshua scooped up the young man’s hand and shook it vigorously. While looking down at his shoes, the young man quietly introduced himself as Dong Soo.

3Over the next few weeks, Joshua and Dong Soo became great friends and did almost everything together. Because the young men were so drastically different, their friendship surprised some people. Joshua was sociable; he loved cracking jokes and playing tricks. Dong Soo, however, was quiet and calm. He thought for a long time before speaking.

4Sometimes Joshua and Dong Soo had difficulty understanding each other. Some days at school Dong Soo ate a lunch that, to Joshua, didn’t look edible—or maybe it looked just barely safe to eat. Joshua was sure he would never eat it. Dong Soo explained that, because he was Korean, he ate foods that other kids at school might not. Sometimes Joshua played pranks on his older brother. Dong Soo was horrified at what he saw as his friend’s thoughtless and imprudent actions.

5Joshua thought it was important to know what would offend Dong Soo and his family. Therefore, understanding his friend’s culture was vital. Joshua asked Dong Soo to tell him about the Korean culture. Dong Soo suggested that they start with food. He explained that food was very important in Korean culture. For instance, Koreans would never sit down in front of a television while eating a meal. To Koreans, meals are more than mere nourishment—they are a way to show manners.

Answer:

Question 39) B

Question 40) D

Question 41) B

Question 42) C

Explanation:

Question 39) Altough edible means safe to eat, the context makes the reader infer that the food was not good tasting. Then the phrase continues with "—or maybe it looked just barely safe to eat." so that way it's possible to understand how the food wasn't good tasting and also not safe for Joshua.

Question 40) As Joshua and Dong Soo became really close friends, it's possible to infer that it's possible to learn new things, in this case one from another, being from different countries.

Question 41) Joshua and Dong Soo both accepted and appreciated their cultural differences and also wanted to learn from these.

Question 42) In this case, the setting of an American neighborhood gives Joshua confidence and ease, because he is in his country and everything's familiar to him, while instilling reluctance and shyness in Dong Soo, because he is foreigner.

The influence of Greek tragedy as filtered through Seneca can still be seen in modern plays, movies, and literature. Select a pl
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

Let's take one of the most influential and popular novels of the 21st century - George R. R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire". This work is all the more appropriate to showcase the influence of Greek, Senecan and Elizabethan tragedies since the series have been turned into a critically acclaimed TV show.

Explanation:

These epic fantasy novels deal with a noble family, which is one of the prerequisites of all three types of tragedy we are dealing with here. Furthermore, many of the protagonists from the Stark family are the so-called "flawed heroes" - well-intended and principled people who often end up stranded (or dead) because of their terrible mistakes or oversights.

<u>One notable example of a tragic hero is the head of the family, Eddard Stark.</u> He is an honorable man who ends up betrayed and executed because he took part in the dangerous game of thrones yet refused to play by the dirty rules that would help him save his head and family. In a way, he would have his cake and eat it, which is of course impossible. Ultimately, his great pride and self-righteousness border on <u>hubris</u>, leading him to think that his perspective is the only right one.

There is also <u>Arya's complex and elaborate revenge</u> that's been carefully plotted throughout multiple volumes of the work. Having survived all the family turmoil, she embarks on a personal journey that will be anything but your conventional coming-of-age story. She will learn to fight, survive, and kill her enemies with great skill and imagination. Her bloodthirstiness is a true Senecan feature.

On the other hand, there are <u>Bran's prophetic dreams</u> about the Three-Eyed Raven. Through them, he gradually learns who he really is and how he can overcome his physical disability. These dreams are not just about his own predicament though. They also provide him with an insight into the terrible challenge the whole humanity is facing. Of course, these dreams are not using plain language but symbols and metaphors - just like the Delphi oracle in Greek tragedies.
