The topic sentence of the paragraph is “My greatest success in life would be my children.” It is an appropriate topic sentence because it describes what the main topic of the paragraph is. This paragraph is talking about how overcoming obstacles and giving the children the best chance of success has become the writers greatest success in life. The purpose of this paragraph is to inform readers of the writers personal successes as a mother. The writer has spoken about how she overcame the obstacle of getting out of an abusive home, raising her kids on her own, and watching these children grow and achieve their own success in life. The writing style is pretty casual and conversational which is perfect for the kind of success being outlined in the paragraph. If the writer were trying to instruct someone on how to achieve the same success as they did, the topic sentence would be different and so would the flow of the paragraph. There would be a more professional tone in the paragraph and if instructing the person on how to leave an abusive situation there would probably be a more serious tone. There would be a sense of urgency in the voice of the paragraph. The purpose would be to try to motivate and encourage the person you would be instructing to make the right choices for her and her children so she could later feel successful and happy.

In at least 250 words, explain how Oedipus’s character influences the events of the plot.
swat32

Antigone and Ismene, the daughters of Oedipus, discuss the disaster that has just befallen them. Their brothers Polynices and Eteocles have killed one another in a battle for control over Thebes. Creon now rules the city, and he has ordered that Polynices, who brought a foreign army against Thebes, not be allowed proper burial rites. Creon threatens to kill anyone who tries to bury Polynices and stations sentries over his body. Antigone, in spite of Creon’s edict and without the help of her sister Ismene, resolves to give their brother a proper burial. Soon, a nervous sentry arrives at the palace to tell Creon that, while the sentries slept, someone gave Polynices burial rites. Creon says that he thinks some of the dissidents of the city bribed the sentry to perform the rites, and he vows to execute the sentry if no other suspect is found.

The sentry soon exonerates himself by catching Antigone in the act of attempting to rebury her brother, the sentries having disinterred him. Antigone freely confesses her act to Creon and says that he himself defies the will of the gods by refusing Polynices burial. Creon condemns both Antigone and Ismene to death. Haemon, Creon’s son and Antigone’s betrothed, enters the stage. Creon asks him his opinion on the issue. Haemon seems at first to side with his father, but gradually admits his opposition to Creon’s stubbornness and petty vindictiveness. Creon curses him and threatens to slay Antigone before his very eyes. Haemon storms out. Creon decides to pardon Ismene, but vows to kill Antigone by walling her up alive in a tomb.

The blind prophet Tiresias arrives, and Creon promises to take whatever advice he gives. Tiresias advises that Creon allow Polynices to be buried, but Creon refuses. Tiresias predicts that the gods will bring down curses upon the city. The words of Tiresias strike fear into the hearts of Creon and the people of Thebes, and Creon reluctantly goes to free Antigone from the tomb where she has been imprisoned. But his change of heart comes too late. A messenger enters and recounts the tragic events: Creon and his entourage first gave proper burial to Polynices, then heard what sounded like Haemon’s voice wailing from Antigone’s tomb. They went in and saw Antigone hanging from a noose, and Haemon raving. Creon’s son then took a sword and thrust it at his father. Missing, he turned the sword against himself and died embracing Antigone’s body. Creon’s wife, Eurydice, hears this terrible news and rushes away into the palace. Creon enters, carrying Haemon’s body and wailing against his own tyranny, which he knows has caused his son’s death. The messenger tells Creon that he has another reason to grieve: Eurydice has stabbed herself, and, as she died, she called down curses on her husband for the misery his pride had caused. Creon kneels and prays that he, too, might die. His guards lead him back into the palace.

Is the comma after “some people” necessary in the sentence:
masya89 [10]

Answer:

Yes, I'm not sure how to explain it but it needs to be there because there is a prepositional phrase (i think that is one) right there. But yes, it is necessary.

I hope this helped you♥

Read the following passage from Bulfinch’s Mythology: The agile youth sprang into the chariot, stood erect and grasped the reins
kotykmax [81]

Answer: energetic

Explanation:

Agile means for someone to have the ability to move easily and be energetic. It means having an adaptable and resourceful character. The antonyms of agile are slow clumsy and stiff.

Therefore, the sentence "The agile youth sprang into the chariot, stood erect and grasped the reins with delight, pouring out thanks to his reluctant parent" can be written as "The energetic youth sprang into the chariot, stood erect and grasped the reins with delight, pouring out thanks to his reluctant parent".

Therefore, the correct option is C.
