Answer: Japan
Explanation:
Christopher Columbus may have been the first recorded European to reach the Americas but this was not his original target. Columbus had wanted to get to Japan and from there, Asia and it never even occurred to him that the Americas might be in the way of this.
So he sailed on a latitude that he thought would take him to Japan which was why he mistook Cuba for China and Hispaniola for Japan when his voyage reached those islands.
<span>L. Frank Baum’s
“The Cowardly Lion and Hungry Tiger,” begins with the Cowardly Lion deciding he
wants to tear a person to pieces and the Hungry Tiger deciding he wants to eat
a “fat baby.” The story progresses with the lion and tiger walking around the
Emerald City looking for person and baby.
However, when they find the objects of their quest, instead of tearing
the person to pieces, the lion helps her up after she falls down and “</span><span>with much
gentleness carried her into her house.” </span>And, instead of eating a lost baby
the tiger finds crying for its mother, the tiger “s<span>afely
deposited [it] beside its mother,” which just so happens to be the same person
the lion helps. Irony can be seen here
in how the opposites of the beginning intentions of their adventure occur—helping
instead of killing.</span>
Answer:
The role of contemporary myths in their daily lives, such as at home with family, working with colleagues, and in the media, is to create concepts of idolatry, admiration, and perception of some common and social senses.
Explanation:
There are some meanings to the word myth, which show the role of contemporary myths in people's daily lives. One of them is related to the first contact that humans have with the world. It is the cosmogony; the mythical accounts of the creation of the world and all that is in it. Another sense is the wonder, the charm, the idolatry that they make of human beings, gods. For example: The Beatles is the greatest rock band of all time. Michael Jackson is the king of pop music. Elvis Presley is the king of rock. Pele is the king of football. And how to forget the "celebrities" made by the media? A third meaning is myth as an explanation of common sense, therefore popular and social. Ex: you can't eat mango and drink milk. One should not feed and bathe, because one can die, the belief that the stars determine our character and destiny, among other popular beliefs.
