1) As a symbol of mother-child relationship.
As a mom who always eyed her share of her son's chocolate, my comment on this is , No comment! See, you can make a point without using cliches like stereotyping.
2) A symbol of our connection with God.
It depends on what religion you belong to. In many religions, the relationship between God and humans is much more complex.
3) As a religious parable. Then, most children's stories can be reduced to parables and most of them will make better parable than this.
4) An adult satire in Swiftian style and not a children's book at all.
The real satire is how we reject the simple and go for the complicated one. No wonder, modern life is so complicated.
<span>5) A commentary on codependency </span>
It's a sad book any way but there is simplicity in this sadness. I don't want to make it depressing..
6) An allegory for the social welfare state and/ or late stage capitalism.
This is the most interesting one undoubtedly but probably already redundant. Most of the world has accepted that the path lies somewhere in between.
7) Our relationship with mother Earth.
An extension of No. 1 , this is my second favorite. If there is any example of one way, selfless giving , this is it. The book was published before I was born , so I don't know how apt this symbol was at that time but for today's world it has a relevant message.
8) Lost joys and simplicity of childhood and complications of adult life.
<span>Finally, I judge a book not only by what it makes me think but also how it makes me feel. This is what Shel's simple words and simple drawings have made me feel : the complications of adult life created by our mindless pursuit of materialism and the contrast it creates with the simple pleasures of childhood is what it is all about.</span>
Roark (her character) is kidnapped by Klansmen, beaten, tied to a stake in the wilderness in her underwear and left to die.
B. You prefer to discuss the salary
Since they were in the middle of a war and everything was chaotic, the characters attached to their mom and didn't want to lose her. Lives were being destroyed at the time so Zlata didn't want to lose her mom because of that.
Macbeth is a tragedy by William Shakespeare. Macbeth of being made Thane of Cawdor, he writes to his wife about it and that what he has been tempted by the three weird sisters. Being excited about being king, also he is disturbed by "New honors" and the working of the supernatural world where "Nothing is/But what is not."
Macbeth deliberates about killing Duncan in scene 7.
<em>"If it were done when 'tis done, then 'twere well</em>
<em>It were done quickly...</em>
<em>But this blow</em>
<em>Might be the be-all and end-all--here,</em>
<em>But, here, upon this bank and shoal of time,</em>
<em>We'd jump the life to come..."</em>
Thing that Macbeth is concerned about is regicide being a serious crime and a grievous offense. It can upset the Chain of Being, for whom the king was God's deputy on earth. Macbeth is reluctant to kill King Duncan and he is host to the king and should prevent from any kind of harm to the king. In a fear of being punished by heaven to kill a king who is virtuous, Macbeth decides not to murder Duncan and concludes it as his "vaulting ambition."
Therefore, the passage which best explains Macbeth's reasoning for not murdering Duncan is B.Duncan is such a good and popular king; it would be cruel to kill him and make the country sad.
