In Canto IV of Dante Alighieri's Inferno, Dante starts to explore the first circle of Hell, called Limbo. This circle is described as the false heaven for those who can not worship the Christian religion. This allows readers to understand that people suspended in this first circle of Hell were not sinners and were placed in a circle of hell so as to maintain order, giving people a place to live after death. Dante uses widely acknowledged figures, such as Aristotle and Socrates to portray Limbo to readers. He makes that to show the place where they live with human wisdom but without God's light, emphasizing that they lived on earth as intellectuals in the field of human wisdom.

<em>"The Divine Comedy". Dante Alighieri</em>(1265-1321).

1) The action of the novel takes place in 1300, in the Forest of Darkness or Forest of Error, on Good Friday, and ends the following Thursday. The forest symbolizes the materialism of people living on Earth. At the top of a hill, Dante sees a light representing the hope of the resurrection of Christ. When he attempts to climb toward the light, a leopard, lion, and a wolf—which symbolize human iniquity—block his way.  

The spirit of poet Virgil comes in and rescues him. Virgil escorts him out of the Forest by another route. This alternate route leads first through Hell .

After the Forest of Darkness, Dante proceeds through Hell and Purgatory, to finally ascends into Heaven.  

2) The character of this setting -CANTO IV- which is the further side of Acheron, is represented by the poet Virgil who takes Dante into Limbo, the First Circle of Hell, where the spirits of the people who lived virtuously but without Christianity stayed .

The Limbo is a place on the edge of hell for the people who are not saved even though they did not sin.  The first circle of hell -Dante's Limbo- is the place where non-Christian adults and unbaptized infants stayed.

In at least two hundred words, write a summary of the poem “Sestina.” Include at least two images that support your summary.
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

Summary:

Explanation:

A grandmother and her granddaughter are inside making a snack and some tea. To kill some time while the water boils, they read the almanac and make jokes out of what they find. Even though the grandmother is laughing, it seems she is upset about something, because she's trying to hide her tears.

At this point, both the grandmother and the grandchild seem to disappear into their own private thoughts. The grandmother thinks how her sadness might be connected to the time of year, and the child is distracted by the condensation forming on the teakettle. While the grandmother tidies up—hanging the almanac back on its string, putting more wood on the stove—the child draws a picture of a house and a man "with buttons like tears" to show to her grandma.

The poem ends in a pretty imaginative way, with the almanac dropping imaginary moons from its pages into the flower bed of the kid's drawing, then saying "time to plant tears"; the grandmother singing to the stove; and the child drawing another scribble of a house with her crayons.

Main idea of the 1st paragraph in letter from Brmingham jail
REY [17]
In the first paragraph, MLK addresses the clergyman's words concerning the timing of the movement being "unwise and untimely", stating that he didn't have to take the time to answer the clergyman's questions, but because he respects them, he will answer their letter.


King's goal in issuing his "letter from a Birmingham jail" was to address criticisms directed against him by individuals who unarguably should have known better. The teachings of Jesus, he repeated, provided for the nonviolent activities that were solely intended to correct injustices.
