<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

  • Herbert uses Narcissus' rejection of Echo to illustrate a holy man's rejection of mortal love for the eternal love of God.

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

"Paradise" is an satirical piece expected to show a thing or two to Herbert's students. Echo reacts naturally to the inquiries without considering.

Echo isn't mortal and exists simply because of material science. Subsequently he is of God. The suggestion being that no one but God can answer all inquiries without considering. Thus, every one of us has the obligation to consider the appropriate responses previously giving them.

The answer is “Herbert uses Narcissus' rejection of Echo to illustrate a holy man's rejection of mortal love for the eternal love of God”

<span>Herbert uses his poems to describe the relationship of humans and God. He believed that by using the story of Echo and Narcissus, he wanted the readers to see the relationship of God and His people. He had represented the people as Narcissus while he had used Echo to represent God.</span>

Answer: Dealing With Siblings

By: Me, duh.

Explanation:

Year 2009 (April), on a late Wednesday night, my brothers and I awoke to the noise of rattling outside our windows. At first, we all ignored the rattling and turned over in our beds and went back to sleep. But then, the rattling got louder and sharper. After hearing it again we all decided to get up and check out what it was. As my 3 older brothers and I walked outside in our pyjamas to see what was going on outside, we noticed that there was a strange smell coming from our backyard. So, as we all went into the backyard to see what this continous situation would bring us next, there it was... four big raccoons inside our trash cans. We looked at them and they looked at us, and we looked at them again and they looked at us again. Suddenly, each of the raccoons scurried away with pieces of garbage in their mouths. As soon as we all realized what had happened, my second eldest brother, Liam, ran towards the direction that the raccoons had scurried. Without hesitation, my 3rd eldest brother, Greg, looked down at me and said, "this is all your fault" in an angry voice. I looked up at Greg with a confused look on my face and replied, "what?! what did I do?", "You! What did you do!? YOU were the one that dad told to tie the trash cans up last night." "No, no, no. Dad told YOU to tie them up last night. But maybe it's just your memory loss getting to you again." Greg and I continued to argue like this until my first eldest brother, Matt, broke us up saying "Hey! It wasn't either of you guys's faults. Maybe it was Dads." Greg looked at me confused and I looked at Greg surpirsed and be both replied with, "NO", and then went back to arguing. Greg, Matt, and I started arguing with eachother before my 3rd eldest brother, Liam, came back into the backyard with an relaxed look on his face and said, "uh. am i inturuppting something?". Matt looked at Liam and said "Nope, just arguing about why the trash cans are not tied up. You know who it was?". "Oh! Yeah, that was me!" Liam replied. Automatically, Matt, Gregg, and I all turned our heads to Liam and said "what!?". "yeah, i was going to tie them up but I had too much work on my hands and was gonna come back to tie them up later." After understanding what just happened, Matt walked over to Liam and said "Okay. Its fine. At least they didnt get into the house!". Matt, Gregg, Liam, and I all chuckled and cleaned up the mess that the raccoons made in the backyard before going to bed. Nexxt time, we'll be prepared for those little bandits.

STORY MEANING: Raccoons mess with trash cans. Brothers argue about who was supposed to tie them up or not. Brothers turn on eachother before realizing that one of the other brothers had done it.

THEY MISUNDERSTOOD THE SITUATION
