<span>I believe that this line has a literal and figurative meaning to it. The literal meaning would be that What your child does and what a child does is what is in there world and what they would live on from that world. Meaning that if your child is in a world of violence that the child will exhibit the violence and there fore lives on it, or in it. The figurative meaning would be your child lives on certain needs, they have the physical which is obvious, food, water, shelter, and then they have the mental needs which is what i believe this line is referring to. The mental needs would be that they need comfort, love, compassion. So what your child does, is what they need in life. If your child is acting in anger and aggression, they need compassion to live on.</span>

In the story of David who is Goliath?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Goliath and Saul

The underlying purpose of the story of Goliath is to show that Saul is not fit to be king (and that David is). Saul was chosen to lead the Israelites against their enemies, but when faced with Goliath he refuses to do so; Saul is a very tall man, but Goliath is a giant.

All of the following events exemplify the short story’s dark tone except...
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is <u>A</u>: “And someone gave little Davy Hutchinson few pebbles.”

Explanation:

In this excerpt, the only event which doesn't exemplify the short story's dark tone is the first option. As we can notice, in all the examples we have some words which are suggesting to something dark and negative, as, for example, <em>murder, painful death, giving up.</em>

In the first sentence, we cannot notice the dark tone because the author uses some positive and pleasant words, as for example, little Davy, a few pebbles, so we can see that he/she is describing a child with some pebbles.
