Similarities:

-Arachne and Anansi are both characters that represent spider-like abilities or appearance. They have been shown in various ways but are always identified with the eight-legged animal.

-They are part of the traditional folklore of a culture, and therefore have inspired and influenced many other stories or tales throughout history.

-There is more than one version of their origins and stories, but they are always depicted as skillful, clever and defiant. Arachne defied the goddess Atena and Anansi was a prominent figure for slaves in Africa and the Caribbean.    

Differences:

-Their origin is quite different: Arachne appears in the Greek mythology, while Anansi belongs to African and Caribbean folklore.

- Arachne was forced to be a spider. She was a Greek mortal who challenged the goddess Athena to a weaving contest. In the end, she was turned into a spider as a punishment. Anansi, on the other hand is a god-like creature with the ability to transform himself into a human or a spider whenever he wants to.

-Anansi is often seen as a hero who brings rain when there is fire, has unlimited stories and wisdom, and also inspires slaves. Arachne is seen as an example of what happens when mortals dare or disrespect gods.

Does literature affect history?
natali 33 [55]
One way literature affected history was before the American Civil War. The book "Uncle Tom's Cabin" by Harriet Beecher Stowe caused the start of the American Civil War. Slavery wasn't a big deal until Harriet wrote this book. Abraham Lincoln the 16th president, confronted Harriet about the book. He spoke to her about it and he realized that slavery has to be stopped. The south refused. The Civil War started.

Literature can lead up to conflict or hatred between others, It can cause wars, street fights, and arguments. Literature can give people the right or wrong idea. Positive literature puts people on track to the right side of things. Negative literature would throw them off to believe the wrong thing.

An example of literature affecting history is our current presidency. But, we're not gonna go into detail about that. :)

Hopefully i helped!

How does abigail adams use analogies to support her opinions? Cite specific textual evidence to support your answer
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Hi. You did not enter the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, I will try to help you as best I can.

An analogy is a comparison, a presentation of the similarities between two elements, where one is used as an example to represent the other. An example of an analogy is the phrase "The president made analogies to marriage, to show the importance of the family in the social environment."

In this case, to answer your question, you will need to read all the text it refers to and identify sentences where Abigail makes comparisons between two elements, using them as examples of each other.

”They had what was their own and coveted not what others had produced”
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

1. These words were said by the old grandfather to the king.

2. The name of the lesson is "A Grain as Big as A Hen's Egg" written by Leo Tolstoy.

3. The word "covet" means to envy or be jealous of something that others have. Wanting or desiring what belongs to others is what "covet" means.

Explanation:

The given quote is a simple explanation that the oldest grandfather gave the king. He said that in his time, no one has any feeling of jealousy for what belongs to others because there was nothing that belongs to a particular person. Everyone shares their produce and also openly/ freely gave to others. As such, everyone was happy with their lives and has no need to 'covet'.

1. These words were said by the oldest grandfather to the king.

2. The name of the lesson is "A Grain as Big as A Hen's Egg" written by Leo Tolstoy.

3. The word "covet" means to envy or be jealous of something that others have. Wanting or desiring what belongs to others is what "covet" means.
