The Celtic goddesses Macha, Morrigan, and Badb are similar to the Valkyries in Norse mythology in the sense that the four are related to war and battle. The four were thought to appear in the form of birds, such as crows; to accompany single warriors; and to roam the battlefield.

They were different in the sense that, unlike the Celtic warrior-goddesses, the Valkyries had a particular job: to take to Valhalla (the Norse afterlife) the slain warriors chosen to fight at Ragnarok (the Norse apocalypse), and to serve them mead at the feasts of every night.

The Celtic goddesses Macha, Morrigan, and Badb were thought to be three sisters, the three with war and death related powers and abilities. The first associated directly with the field, the second to the death and anger and the third, to confusion and fear in the soldiers.

Where the exact number of the Valkyries is not quite definite, the Celtic goddesses are agreed on being three (sisters, in general), while sometimes they are also considered to be three aspects of an only goddess.

<span>Celtic goddesses are all goddesses of power, war, and the afterlife. The Valkyries were warrior women who trained to fight in the Norse apocalypse, Ragnarok. The Celtic goddesses you talked about are symbolism of lady power and war, so they both share the same image of "strong independent awesome lady deities"</span>

Which sentence is parallel?
koban [17]
The correct option is this: HE RAN DOWN THE STEP, JUMPED IN HIS CAR AND QUICKLY DROVE OFF.
When writing a parallel sentence, one must ensure that the words used are in the same form. For instance, the sentence, Mary like to ski, to swim and to jump is a parallel sentence. It will be wrong to say that, Mary like to ski, to swim and jumping. In this case, you can see that the words placed in front of 'to' did not rhyme all through.<span />

What reservations does nick have about gatsby's feelings for daisy
Maslowich
In F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby, Nick Carraway feels that  Daisy and Gatsby's relation will most certainly end poorly.  Nick believes that the couple's relationship is structured upon illusion, at least on the part of Gatsby.  Nick believes that Gatsby is attempting, through his relationship with Daisy, to relive the past in order to create a new future.  Furthermore, Nick feels that Daisy's affections for Gatsby is owed not to any sort of true, emotional love, but rather an attraction to his wealth.

What point is hurston trying to make in her first paragraph? Is she “the only Negro in the United States whose grandfather on th
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

The point Hurston is trying to make is through humor, showing the black people as part of the society of the United States.

Explanation:

She is not <em>“the only Negro in the United States whose grandfather on the mother’s side was not an Indian chief”</em>. In fact, the term "Indian chief" refers to the white owners of the slaves. At that time it was very common for these people to abuse women to get them pregnant and thus generate more slaves, so she is not the only one in this situation.

What the author tries to show with this phrase is the diversity of races is abundant in the United States, since their descendants come in part from white men, for which the author criticizes the racism of people who still do not accept it.
