Tell someone you trust about the abuse. Choose individuals who will respect your decisions and who can listen without telling you what to do. You might want to ask them to just listen so that they don’t feel pressure to solve the problem for you.
You may need to plan some next steps. Those steps should be realistic. You are the expert in your own life and the best person to decide what you can do to set limits and to increase your safety.
If you are afraid the situation will get worse, make a safety plan that includes where you can go in an emergency and what you will take with you. Think about where you will stay and how you will get there.
Consult a lawyer or legal service about your rights and options (your local seniors’ organization can help you find a lawyer or service).
Keep track of your financial statements and other legal documents. Talk to your bank about how to protect your assets.

Is literature an effective form of social commentary? Does it affect people and instigate awareness and change? Use examples

Zanzabum

Literature can be a very effective form of social commentary. Moreover, it can motivate people to change their social reality through an increase of awareness.

When we read a story that resembles our own reality, we are able to gain some perspective because of the distance that we put between the characters and us. It can also highlight aspects of our social situation that we had not noticed before.

A common example is Uncle Tom's Cabin, a novel by Harriet Beecher Stowe, which greatly contributed to the social condemnation of slavery. Similarly, George Orwell's novels, such as Animal Farm and 1984, have been very relevant in helping people realize the dangers of extremism and totalitarianism.

Read the passage from The Odyssey - Elpenor. By night our ship ran onward toward the Ocean's bourne, the realm and region of the

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

It isnt dark or sunny, because it clearly states "hidden in mist and cloud". So for a while i was between misty and cloudy. However I believe it is misty, because cloudy normally means that the sky is clouded, and in the passage it says that it is hidden. Now, i dont know about you, but clouds in the sky have never hidden anything but the sun from me. I think it means that it was as if there was a cloud on earth and that the cloud of mist hid where the men of winter live. Therefore, I believe the answer is the second choice, misty. Hope that helps! Please vote this answer the branliest, too! :)
