English

Nataliya [291]3 years ago
4 0

Both tell the story of a specific number of children being sent to a contest each year, with the focus of one being left standing. In the myth, am angry king forced a city under seige to send a specific number of children to a spectacular maze, which provided with many challenges and pitted them against the Minotaur, a beast with a human body and the head of a bull. However, a hero named Theseus changed all of this when he finally defeated the Minotaur, forcing the king to end his challenge. In the book “The hunger games”, there are many different sectors, and 2 children from each sector are to be sent to an arena to be pitted against one another. The main character, katniss, changes this when she ends the game without killing the other last competitor.

The lesson? Read Percy Jackson’s Greek heroes, and The hunger games.

Hope this helps!

How does Hamlet’s conclusion on the question of “To be or not to be” develop the reader’s understanding of his character
maria [59]
In Hamlet's soliloquy he discusses death, it's pros and cons, and consequences in depth. His conclusion, that the dreams death may bring are too frightening to face, characterizes him as a coward as well as an intellectual. He is obviously very intelligent, having gone to college, and proves his intelligence by creating a master plan to avenge his father and taking painfully long to make any decision. Yet, he is still cowardly because he cannot muster the courage to kill himself even though he obviously doesn't want to live any longer. Another instance that he comes across as cowardly is when he won't kill Claudius while he is praying because he's afraid he will send him to heaven.

What was your reaction when you read the first line of The Nickel Boys? For reference, the line is "Elwood received the best gif
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

Find the answers and explanations below.

Explanation:

1. The aspects of the line that inspire interest in Elwood include

a. The best gift of his life. One wonders what the best gift could be and its importance to him.

b. ...even if the ideas it put into his head were his undoing. The reader might also wonder what the ideas were and why it would cause Elwood's undoing.

2. Mysterious things are unknown and hard to explain. The best gift of his life is mysterious because the reader has no idea of what that gift could be because not much is known about the protagonist. The ideas in his head which would cause his undoing are also mysterious.

3. The phrase I would want to be explained to me is; The best gift of his life. When I know what that gift is, it would help me understand the personality of Elwood and why he had ideas in his head on receiving the gift.

4. The author can explain it further because he knows the qualities of the characters involved in the story.

5. One possibility could be that the gift has a major significance in the story.

Another possibility could be that the gift promoted an ideology that the protagonist holds dear.

The use of the phrase might have also been to whet the reader's interest in the story.

6. I think that the last reason is most likely. Seeing that the reader is not yet acquainted with the character, the mystery surrounding the best gift would make him wonder what that gift was. He would also want to find out by reading more of the story.
