When he realizes the old king’s promises were empty, the desert symbolizes the empty future the boy will have if he continues this journey. I would assume this was the correct answer although reading more of the passage would help with context clues as to why this answer makes sense. A lot of english is inferencing what is happening and guessing the metaphors used and such, I hope this helped.

Answer:

from the book: "The Lady, or the Tiger" by Frank R. Stockton

Explanation:

The original paragraph in the book where we get this quote reads;

"When a subject was accused of a crime of sufficient importance to interest the king, public notice was given that on an appointed day the fate of the accused person would be decided in the king's arena, a structure which well deserved its name, for, although its form and plan were borrowed from afar, its purpose emanated solely from the brain of this man, who, every barleycorn a king, knew no tradition to which he owed more allegiance than pleased his fancy, and who ingrafted on every adopted form of human thought and action the rich growth of his barbaric idealism."

Answer:

Subjective norm.

Explanation:

The theory of planned behavior seeks to explain any health behavior over which the individual has control. It believes that behavior is influenced by a number of factors such as pressure from family or society, the belief that changing that behavior will be easy or difficult, the belief in one's own capacity to do it etc.

According to this theory, there are six constructs that represent a person's actual control of a certain behavior. One of those constructs is called subjective norm. It refers to the person's belief concerning whether or not that behavior is approved by others. If a person believes people who are important to him do not want him to engage in a certain behavior, he will be less likely to do it. That is Carl's situation. His lack of conviction concerning his diet comes from a subjective norm.
