How is babylon similar to the Place of the Gods where John travels

English

Georgia [21]3 years ago
7 0

In "By the waters of Babylon", the Place of Gods is actually New York City destroyed by a nuclear war. John and his people don't know this, that it was a city constructed by men and not gods, because a great deal of knowledge of the doomed civilization was lost. He realizes this through an epiphany.

The Place of Gods is similar to Babylon in the way that the latter one used to be the superpower of her day but this didn't save her from decline. New York City represents the superpower of today, the United States, but this doesn't mean they won't decline, such as every empire before.

When John enters the Place of the Gods, he starts to assimilate that all that he was told about the Place of the Gods is not true at all. The Place of the Gods he visits can be seen as a post-apocaliptic version of the city of New York; because of that, the author is placing the reader in a possible future of ourselves. The portrait of New York as a post-apocaliptic city that we must encourage to build again (by the words of John) can be related to the fall of the city (kingdom) of Babylon in the ancient Mesopotamia.

At the end of lizzie bright and the buckminister boy why does reverend buckminister side with the phippsburg townspeople against
Rama09 [41]

Answer :

In the book "Lizzie Bright and the Buckminister Boy" by Gary D. Schmidt, Reverend Buckminister sides with the Phippsburg townspeople against the people of Malaga Island because the Reverend learns that Turner went to the island with Lizzie Griffin, an African American girl.

Turner first meets Lizzie, a negress, at the shore and takes an instant liking to her. She takes him to Malaga Island to meet her grandfather who is a preacher. Turner spends a glorious day on the island meeting Lizzie's neighbors and playing with the children. He enjoys "the cold wildness" of the island.

When he returns home, Turner finds the Phippsburg townspeople at his place and their leader Deacon Hurd convincing his father to get the island clear of all its dirty and stupid inhabitants so that it can be utilized for building a beautiful resort. The leader forces Turner to admit that he had been to the island with Lizzie. On learning this fact, Reverend Buckminister is forced to side with the Phippsburg townspeople.

I need help dont we all
Leokris [45]

Answer:  Its either A or D

Explanation:

The reason I say A:

The author includes that Jeremy had gotten paint everywhere, even on the ceiling. Jeremy had also helped himself to her paint sets ( In my opinion this was a problem )

The reason I think its D:

The other gives a short bio on what they both like.  ( I don't think it would be this but go with your gut feeling!)

disclaimer:  this is just my opinion! choose whatever one you think is correct!.

The reason i do not think its C :  Nowhere in the text is there a specific detail about the paint except that jeremy is being messy.

The reason i do not think its D:   Chronological order has to do with stories that are told in order of time.

Disclaimer again:    As i said before, you do not have to choose this , this is just what i think. Go with what you think is correct... If its wrong come back!.
