"The Turtle" is a short story written by John Steinbeck and which makes part of the novel "The Grapes of Wrath", in chapter three. This story narrates the adventure of a land turtle who has to persevere and fight against all obstacles to be able to cross a highway in order to get to the other side and continue on its path. Along the way, the turtle must also face the challenge of dragging its heavy, but protective shell along, and the animal will do all in its power to reach the other side, with its shell intact and proud, regardless of how heavy it is, because it is its only means of protection. This story is riddled with imagery and metaphors that paint the hardships that the people of the Dust Bowl era and the Great Depression had to face when the economy came crashing down and hunger and lack of opportunity ruled in the United States. However, there is one image used, which is the trench that is carved from the efforts done by the turtle once it finally reaches its goal, and this symbol shows D: a road or example to follow. This is the correct choice because the trench symbol represents the road that many others will follow and which was carved by someone who already faced the challenge and is worthy to be used as an example.

16. Historically examine the life of Jesus. What were his teachings? Why did he have such a huge impact on the world? (4 points)
german
Jesus Christ was a man of many followers despite growing up as a carpenter's son. His lessons and teachings included patience, kindness, healing, love, and acceptance. The acceptance and love teachings were shown in many ways, one of the greatest examples being John 4-- when he associated with a samaritan woman although strictly prohibited, Matthew 14:13-21, where Jesus fed thousands from one fish and a loaf of bread, Luke 23: 26-43 where he was crucified on the cross for everyone's sins, and lastly Luke 24: where he rose again and tore the veil, leaving one of the greatest impacts on the world than ever done before. His impacts on many were easily seen and still popular today because he was the first to care so much about everyone, not just the rich or the priests of the church.

Choose one of the stories from this lesson, and write one paragraph about that story's plot, characters or theme, and explain ho
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Explanation:

he theme of a story is what the author is trying to convey — in other words, the central idea of the story. Short stories often have just one theme, whereas novels usually have multiple themes. The theme of a story is woven all the way through the story, and the characters' actions, interactions, and motivations all reflect the story's theme.

But don't confuse theme with the story's plot or moral. The plot is simply what happens in the story and the order of the story's events, and the moral is the lesson that the writer wants the main character (and by extension, you) to learn from the story. Each of these serves the overall theme of the story. That is, the events of the story illustrate the theme, and the lesson that you learn relates directly to the theme.

So when you're trying to recognize the theme of a story, ask yourself what the author is trying to convey through the characters and events of the story. For instance, in The Catcher in the Rye, Holden Caulfield's actions are motivated by his not wanting to grow up, so one of the main themes of this novel is the preservation of innocence.
