Hubris is excessive pride and disrespect for the natural order of things.

Peripeteia is the reversal of fate that the hero experiences.

Anagnorisis is a moment in time when hero makes an important discovery in the story.

Nemesis is a punishment that the protagonist cannot avoid, usually occurring as a result of his hubris.

Catharsis are feelings of pity and fear felt by the audience, for the inevitable downfall of the protagonist.

Hamartia is basically a trait the hero possess (ex. arrogance) that leads to their downfall.

Hubris means their pride gets in the way and they dirupt the order of things.

Peripeteia is when they started with one luck and it flipped (ex. good luck to bad luck, or bad luck to good luck)

Anagnorisis is when the hero finds out something big (Ex. the ememy is his long lost father)

Nemesis normally happens becase the order was dirupted and the hero has to pay the price (ex. hero cuts down a fruit tree. The fruit turns out to be the only thing that could cure the hero after being poisoned. But the tree was cut so the hero will die without the annodote)

Catharsis is basically when the audience comes to the conclusion the hero is doomed (ex. The reader relalizes the hero cut down the only tree that could save them.

Explanation:

Better late than never tells us that sometimes in life we miss some opportunities, but that does not mean we should never give a try.

Better late than never story

This is a story about an old man who lived in a village. He had two sons and one daughter. They were all well settled in their city life. His children would send him money every month so that he did not have any crisis. They also used to send letters to know about his well being.

Once in a year his sons and daughter would come to pay a visit to him but for the rest of the year his only source of communication was the letters. sometimes he would go to the post master of the village to read the letters for him because he did not know to read and write. The postmaster always used to help the old man reading and writing the letters for him. You may also read: God help those who help themselves

But unfortunately that post master died and a young postmaster got appointed. That young postmaster was a rude person who did not want to help the man. Slowly his way of communication with his children got cut off. He use to remain very upset.

One day the head master of the village school came to him and asked about his disappointment. The old man told him that because of his being illiterate he is facing trouble to get in touch with his children. He described how he never went to school because of his commitments towards his family. After listening to the his problem, the head master gave him a solution that instead of asking help from others he should once again start going to school and read and write.

The old man said everybody would laugh at him at this age studying. The headmaster told is better late than never. So following his advice the man joined the night school and started reading and writing. within few months he started writing letters to his children and getting their answers too. By then he did not have to go to anyone to read the letter. That day he was clear on the proverb that better late than never.

In 200 words, explain the obligations that Wiesel suggests the Holocaust gives to humanity.

aleksklad [387]

One of Wiesel's concerns in Night is the way that exposure to inhuman cruelty can deprive even victims of their sense of morality and humanity. The first hint of this dehumanized behavior on the part of the Jewish prisoners comes when some of the deportees, in the contraints of the cattle car, lose their modesty and sense of sexual, inhibition. Wiesel suggests that one of the great psychological and moral tragedies of the Holocaust is not just the death of faith in God but also the death in faith in humankind.<span>
