This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question.

Read Slaughterhouse-Five, by Kurt Vonnegut.

During the party for Billy and Valencia’s eighteenth wedding anniversary, Billy is greatly upset by the barbershop quartet (219-30; 172-80 in the shorter edition). Summarize what happens to him in this moment and why. What do you think Vonnegut is saying about the nature of memory in this section of the book (and indeed throughout the book)?

Answer:

The barbershop quartet reminds Billy of the German officers when they saw the destruction caused by the bombing of Dresden. Billy breaks down and realizes he has some "big secret" inside. Vonnegut´s ideas about the nature of memory appear in Billy´s suppressing his emotion during the war, to end up having his later civilian life shape by what happened there.

Explanation:

Traumatized by the horrors of war, Billy´s memory constantly takes him into vivid flashbacks, showing that he hasn´t truly processed what he has gone through.

Why is the number 3 significant with Dante Alighieri?
mariarad [96]
The number 3 is everywhere in Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy<span>. For one thing, the poem itself is structured according to the rhyme scheme terza rima, which uses stanzas of three lines that employ interlocking rhymes (aba bcb cdc, etc.). Additionally, there are nine circles of Hell (three multiplied by three), Satan has three faces, and three beasts (a lion, a leopard, and a wolf) threaten Dante at the beginning of the Inferno. There are many more examples of three, but the overall important thing to understand is that the number three largely governs the structure of Dante's poem. Indeed, you can think of the number three as the scaffolding on which the rest of the poem's content is hung. This number is significant because three is a central number in the Judaeo-Christian tradition, especially in terms of the Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). As such, just as the whole of the Christian world is governed by a three-in-one God, Dante's poem is governed by the number three. Thus, Dante's obsession with the number three mirrors the prevalence of three in the Christian tradition. </span><span />

Scene 5 lines 60-63 how do these lines reflect one or more of the themes? How do themes relate to each other?
STALIN [3.7K]

Hello. You forgot to mention that this question is related to the play "Macbeth" written by Shakespeare. It is always important to put all the necessary information, so that your answer is answered.

Answer:

These lines reflect the theme that looks can be deceiving and that envy can be destructive.

Explanation:

Macbeth is a play written by Shakespeare and tells the story of how Macbeth usurped Duncan's throne, killing him. Macbeth does this by encouraging his envy for Duncan's power and influence and the strategies of his wife, Lady Macbeth. However, Duncan and Macbeth were friends, which makes Macbeth feel very remorse and guilt for what he did, during some moments of the narrative.

The lines quoted in the question above refer to the moment when Lady Macbeth instructs her husband how to kill Duncan. She asks him to be very friendly and to be sneaky as a charge, attacking Duncan the moment he least expects it. This reflects the theme of how appearances can be deceiving and how envy can be so destructive as to lead a friendship to cruel and frivolous acts.
