kherson [118]3 years ago

I believe that Penelope devised the contest with the bow and arrows in order to buy both herself and Odysseus more time. He was gone for a long time, but she kept believing he would return to her and they would be happy again. However, he was gone for more than 10 years, and many suitors now came to Ithaca in order to marry Penelope and rule there. She obviously didn't want that, so she created this contest knowing that nobody could win it besides Odysseus who is the best archer ever. What it reveals about her is her absolute faithfulness and devotion to her husband whom she hasn't seen in over a decade.

How does Elwood change over the course of the chapter
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

A lot

Explanation:

Elwood Curtis is a teenage black boy living in Florida in the early 1960s, and the protagonist of The Nickel Boys. A determined young man, Elwood lives with his grandmother, who takes him with her to the hotel where she works. While she’s cleaning the rooms, Elwood spends his time in the kitchen, peering out at the hotel’s dining room and imagining what it would be like to see a black person sitting at one of the tables. Elwood is particularly interested in the Civil Rights Movement because the only record he owns is a recording of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. speaking at the Zion Hill Baptist Church in Los Angeles. During high school, Elwood works at Mr. Macroni’s cigar shop and reads magazines about the Civil Rights Movement, which is why he ends up admiring his new history teacher, Mr. Hill, who is an activist. Recognizing Elwood’s impressive determination, Mr. Hill helps him enroll in college classes, which he plans to take while finishing high school. On his way to his first class, though, he hitchhikes with a man who—unbeknownst to him—stole a car. Consequently, Elwood is arrested and sent to Nickel Academy, a reform school. At Nickel, it doesn’t take long before Elwood experiences the wrath of Spencer, the school’s superintendent, who brutally whips him for trying to break up a fight. This experience sends him to the infirmary, where his new friend, Turner, tells him that the safest way to get through Nickel is to simply keep to oneself, focusing only on earning enough merit points to “graduate.” Elwood initially decides to follow this advice, but when he hears that government inspectors will be visiting the school, he writes a letter to them outlining the institution’s egregious practices. Turner is against this idea but ultimately helps Elwood carry it out. That night, Spencer takes Elwood from his bed and beats him before putting him in solitary confinement. Several days later, Turner hears that Spencer is going to kill Elwood, so he helps him escape, but Elwood is shot and killed in the process.

Which themes are supported by the resolution of the narrator’s internal conflicts in this passage? Select two options.
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Being content does not always lead to growth. Thus, the correct option is A. The narrator believes that "being content does not necessarily lead to advancement," and he wants to know more.

<h3>What is the wish of the narrator?</h3>

We are not illiterate like the Forest People; our priests dress in white robes, and our ladies weave wool on a wheel. Although the ancient writings are difficult to understand, we do not eat grubs from the trees, and we have not forgotten them. My want to learn more, despite my knowledge and ignorance, blazed within me. I finally became a man, and I went to my father and said, "I should set out on my voyage right away. Please excuse me."

As he stated, "At night, I would lie awake and listen to the wind—it appeared to me that it was the voice of the gods as they sailed through the air." He also believes that "Following traditions leads to new understanding."
