The author portrays Theseus as a flawed human being. In early adventures, Theseus proved that he was a 'hero' but it wasn't until he slew the minotaur he became a legend, the living embodiment of braveness. However the author also made sure to mention that he deserted Princess Ariadne and even killed her father without much thought in order to allow the reader to understand that this so called hero although brave is far from perfect.

Hope this helps!

how do kevin's interactions with his father and his teacher, waldo, help develop the theme within the story?

lbvjy [14]

It helps develop the theme because with the teacher being strict Kevin no longer tries to get answers from his father and listens to the teacher and Kevin learns from it.

As defined in the lesson, how are skimming and scanning different?

kolezko [41]

Answer:

Hi there, your answer here is C. Skimming is reading key words or reduced numbers of sentences to find the main idea, while scanning is reading to look for specific information. While both techniques use rapid eye movement and key words, they are used to move quickly through a text for slightly different purposes. When you skim a text, you want to find the main idea. When you scan a text, you want to find specific facts.

Hope this helps! Have a great day - Mani :)

what does Anaya mean when he writes that “a book at once quenches the thirst of the imagination and ignites new fires?”

trasher [3.6K]

Not too sure, but I take it that the book satisfies his need for imagination temporarily, but also awakens a tier of satisfaction to be met, be it for more imagination or not.
