In Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy, the time period of 1912 contributes to the main conflict in the novel since racism against African Americans by whites was the norm at that time". The setting of novel "Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy" by Gary D. Schmidt is 1912. The story focuses on residents of Malaga Island who were placed in a mental hospital.

The historical period contributes to the story due to the fact that racism against African Americans was totally usual in 1912, and Turner become friend with a black girl, so that  the social situation turns complicated.

Who made Tiresias blind, and who felt guilty about it and gave Tiresias the gift of knowing everything
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

1. <u>Who made Tiresias blind?</u>

Tiresias was blind from his youth. He was perhaps the best known soothsayer from Thebes. As already stated, there are different traditions as to why he was blind.

One tradition says that he was blinded by the gods for revealing things to mankind that were for the gods alone. Another tradition states he was blinded by Athena for seeing her bathing naked. His mother prayed to Athena to restore his sight. Athena could not restore his sight, but instead gave him inner sight, or the ability to prophesy.

A final tradition states that Tiresias was walking and saw a male and female snake copulating. He struck at them killing the female serpent. For punishment he was turned into a woman. Seven years later he saw another pair of serpents and killing the male snake he was turned into a male. Having lived the life of both a woman and man, Zeus and Hera came to him in their dispute over who had more pleasure in sex. Tiresias said the woman enjoyed sex more. Outraged, Hera blinded him. Zeus rewarded Tiresias with prophecy and long life.

2. <u>Who felt guilty about it and gave Tiresias the gift of knowing everything?</u>

<u>Athena</u> didn’t give him back his sight. But to make up for the punishment, she gave him the gift of divination. She assured him that he wouldn’t lose it, even in death. Tiresias’ transsexuality. The second of the best-known versions of Tiresias’ origin says that he was walking in the fields one day when he saw two snakes mating.

Zeus, feeling sorry that Tiresias was blinded, gave him the gift of prophecy.

Zeus gave Tiresias the gift of second sight. Not surprisingly, from then on Tiresias lived the live of a reclusive ascetic - emerging only when there was a crisis in Thebes that needed his gifts.

Read the sentence from a student’s critical analysis essay.
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Explanation:

Any language you use to describe Jefferson's phrasing of the declaration must not be chosen.

The Declaration was written at get peril to those writing and signing it. They could have been hanged for treason at any time.

So you should eliminate answers that contain difficult, fanciful and sophisticated.

Difficult: get a dictionary. Look them up. Use them when the occasion is right.

Sophisticated: The Declaration was a legal document. It uses words that reflect the seriousness of George's answers. George must be made to understand that his actions have consequences.

Fanciful: I won't even bother to give a reason for not using this word.

Every American should be familiar with the Declaration. It should not be degraded by saying that the language is inappropriate. Many deaths when the war for independence began paid in blood for the warning those words presented.

The answer is the second one from the top.
