I've looked this question up online. The options are simply:
a. First Person
b. Second Person
c. Third Person
Answer:
The point of view in this paragraph is:
a. First person.
Explanation:
The narrator of the excerpt is telling the story from a first-person point of view. The easiest way to confirm that is by taking a look at the pronouns used:
The dew on the grass made my running shoes damp. It didn't bother me. The sound of my feet hitting the street formed a rhythm, a steady pattern of light thumps. I timed my
breathing with the rhythm.
<u>First-person narrators use first-person pronouns such as "I" and "me". This type of narrator gives us his/her own perspective on things. That means we accompany this narrator throughout the story, see things from his perspective, and only get to know what he knows. One advantage of first-person point of view is that we get to dive deeper into the narrator's feelings and thoughts. One disadvantage is that he is a biased narrator, which makes him untrustworthy.</u>
Answer:
Hektor believes in the gods.
Explanation:
The Greek myth of "Hektor and Achilleus" revolves around the Battle of Troy where Hektor, the prince of Troy and Achilles, a Greek warrior had been fighting each other. The main background of the whole story line is based off "The Illiad" by Homer.
In the Battle of Troy, Paris had taken Helen, the wife of Menelaus, a Greek King of the Spartan kingdom. Though she went voluntarily to be with Paris, it led to the now famous "Battle of Troy". The quote in the question is said by Hektor, and reveals his belief in the gods. He holds a sense of honor for the dead, and promises Achilles he won't defile his body should he die. But Achilles did not have the same sense of respect, which sets him apart from Hektor. Hektor, on the other hand, have a more responsible and respect for the gods and their ways. Preserving and upholding the code of honor, he shows his chivalry and rightful behavior, unlike Achilles who is consumed by anger and just wants revenge.
