How does the author Rick Riordan in the book:The Lightning Thief ,use allusion to move the plot forward

English
1 answer:
sattari [20]3 years ago
7 0
Riordan absolutely loves making allusions to ancient mythology. In the Lightning Thief for example, when fighting Medusa, Percy avoids looking at her by using a garden sphere. This is an allusion to the myths, when Perseus avoided looking at Medusa by using his own shield like a mirror. That's a simple example. Let me know if you need more.

Which of the following is a central idea in Gates' "Mister Jefferson and The Trials of Phillis Wheatley"? Select all that apply.
arlik [135]

<u>Answer</u>:

  • Criticism of Wheatley's work was based more on gender than race.
  • Jefferson's criticism of Wheatley generated more interest in African literature.
  • Jefferson's criticism of Wheatley inspired other Africans to demonstrate African equality.

The article discusses the trial of Phillis Wheatley. Phillis was a slave, who was brought to America from Africa in the 18th century. Her master taught her how to read and write, and she began writing poetry. The trial described was intended to decide whether she was really the author of the poems she claimed to have written. A central idea of the article is that the criticism of Wheatley's work was more due to her condition as a woman than her condition as a slave. The author also argues that Jefferson's criticism of it both generated more interest in African literature as well as inspired other Africans.
