Answer and explanation:

At the end of the novel "The Call of the Wild" by Jack London, the characters are separated because John Thornton dies and Buck is finally free to heed the call of the wild.

Buck is a dog that gets stolen from his comfortable home in California to be sold as a sled-dog. John Thornton, at some point in the story, becomes his owner. Buck shows great love and loyalty for John, and serves him even though he (Buck) has already felt that his place is in the wilderness, with the wolves.

When John dies, Buck mourns him, but finally accepts the call he has been feeling and goes to live in the forest with the wolves. The novel is based on the "survival of the fittest" idea. It is one of Jack London's most famous works.

Which statement best explains how O. Henry's use of third-person narration in "After Twenty Years" affects the story?
Anestetic [448]

Answer: B. It gives O. Henry a way to keep key information about both main characters hidden until the end.

"After Twenty Years" is a short story by O. Henry. It was first published in his anthology <em>The Four Million</em> in 1906.

It tells the story of two friends who due to their separate paths in life have not seen each other in twenty years. However, they have agreed to meet on a particular spot near a restaurant that night. The story has a plot twist near the end, which relies on the author keeping information about the main characters hidden until the end. He does so by means of a third-person narrative.

mr_godi [17]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

OEDIPUS: Mock my excellence, but you will find out I am truly great. TEIRESIAS: That quality of yours now ruins you. OEDIPUS: I do not care, if I have saved the city. TERESIAS: I will go now. Boy, lead me away. OEDIPUS: Yes, let him guide you back. You're in the way. If you stay, you'll just provoke me. Once you're gone, you won't annoy me further.

what character flaw does teiresias point out?

a)oedipus’s pathos

b)oedipus’s mythos

c)oedipus’s anagnorisis

d)oedipus’s hubris

Answer:

d)oedipus’s hubris

Explanation:

As we can see in the excerpt shown in the question above, Oeddipus shows himself with such self-confidence that he became hubris, full of self and without any humility. he bragging about how he saved the city because he’s big, invincible. Oedipus' hubris makes him irritating and uncomfortable and it is possible to see that Teiresias criticizes this type of behavior and to affirm that it is this arrogance that will lead Oedipus to ruin, because nothing good is generated from arrogance.
