<span>Superstitious people might do many odd things because they believe in luck, or bad luck. So, they may retrace their steps if a black cat crosses their path, they may not want to walk under a ladder because it is sad to bring bad luck, they may be scared when their mirror cracks because it is believed to bring 7 years of bad luck. They may do many things to get out of a possible bad situation, or induce a good thing to happen to them.</span>

Superstitious people might do many odd things because they believe in luck, or bad luck. So, they may retrace their steps if a black cat crosses their path, they may not want to walk under a ladder because it is sad to bring bad luck, they may be scared when their mirror cracks because it is believed to bring 7 years of bad luck. They may do many things to get out of a possible bad situation, or induce a good thing to happen to them.

Explanation:

Superstition means thinking in triumph - they might have a serendipitous rabbit's foot or a phobia of the number 13 or regret to walk under a stairway or cross their pointers for luck. Superstition is a view not based on logic. It is sometimes associated to luck or fate. Some irrationalities are: Break a mirror seven times of bad luck. Always hold your breathing when crossing a graveyard Lift your hands when going under a train bridge and there is a train on the bridge. Step on a split, break your mothers back.

Huck's struggle between personal beliefs and social conformity is a theme throughout the book. In chapters 2 and 3,
FrozenT [24]

Answer and Explanation:

The characters trying to change Huck are the widow Douglas and Mrs. Watson. They feel that Huck is rude, uncivilized and behaves like a savage and not like a white southern kid should act. They feel responsible for "fixing" him and preventing him from becoming an unworthy adult and outside the social standards desired by southern society.

Widow Douglas doesn't change all of Huck's clothes, forces him to church and school, and wants him to stop unbecoming childlike habits like smoking. She wants him to become a Christian gentleman. Mrs. Watson, on the other hand, doesn't like him to be illiterate and rude. She tries to teach him to read and wants him to adopt Christian behavior.

It should be noted that Huck is the main character of "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," a book that tells the story of Huck, an adventurous boy, who escapes from an inhospitable environment and lives many adventures, discovering new concepts, breaking prejudices and making friendships.

3. In what different ways does the text
Maksim231197 [3]

The full question is: In what different ways does the text distinguish prometheus's character from that of the other gods on mount olympus

Answer and Explanation:

The text to which the question refers is "Prometheus the friend of man."

In the text Prometheus is presented very differently from the other gods of Olympus. That's because he preferred to spend his time on earth working to make human life easier, unlike the Olympian gods, who preferred to do nothing, rest and receive offerings. Furthermore, the text shows that Prometheus wanted human beings to be independent and able to act without the help of the Olympian gods, who believed that human beings should be submissive and servants.
