Why does Cyrus spare Croesus's life in "As Rich as Croesus"?

English
1 answer:
Artist 52 [7]3 years ago
5 0

Cyrus spares Croesus' life when he realizes he is an ordinary man. First Cyrus orders that Croesus burns to death on a pyre because he wants to prove that he has supernatural powers that would prevent him from burning. Then Cyrus changes his mind. However, his servants can't put out the flames, so Croesus prays to Apollo and a storm extinguishes the fire.

In the end, Cyrus is certain that Croesus is a good man and makes him his advisor.

Body of a sample e-mail: The public library is essential to our community. Students need a safe and quiet place to complete thei
polet [3.4K]
  • <em>What is the viewpoint?</em>

The person who wrote this email believes that the local library should be a priority: "the public library is essential to our community." This person cares about the town's students' ability to study in an appropriate environment: "students need a safe and quiet place to complete their homework." They would like the library to remain available as it currently is.

  • <em>What is the problem?</em>

The problem is the city council's recent decision to reduce the opening hours for the library: "city council plans to cut the library’s hours." We are told that this measure comes as a response to the charges that are involved in keeping the library open (paying the employees, for the most part): "the budget is an issue."

  • <em>What is an effect of the problem?</em>

This is an issue because as a consequence, the students would not get to study in as good conditions as they do now: "this will limit students’ time to study and conduct research after school." As a result, the community can try to influence the vote of the city council's members on the issue: "I am writing to urge you to vote against these cuts."

  • <em>What is the proposed solution?</em>

The solution suggested to the city official is to ask college students to volonteer as library employees, in order to keep the library open without the city council's worrying about paying the staff: "perhaps volunteers from the local community college can help staff the library."
