Answer:

Possibly because if something stained the wall, then it would not come off, would be hard to get off, or will not come off for a long time.

GREEK WARRIOR
RSB [31]

<span>You are encamped on the beach outside the walls of Troy. You miss your family and friends. Write a diary entry that describes how long you have been away, what things have been like, and what the future looks like. Add anything else to give it depth.</span>

Dear mother and father,

Your only heir to the family is residing merely feet from the stony outreaches of Troy. Icy, heartless water sweeps the pristine beach grounds and curls around the tents as I write to you on this dreary and charcoal-black night. The lowly-lit candle beside me and the crescent moon’s light aid me in my sloppy handwriting…regardless, I am always happy to find time to write to you both. I have not seen you or my engaged lover since…six months? I believe that is correct. I miss you all terribly, back at home. But, this crusade seems promising and victorious. My brothers and I have traveled a long distance, trekking by land and sea, through treacherous terrain and their cruel inhabitants, just to reach Troy. Some have died from starvation or dehydration or sickness or from petty fights; life here has not been easy. Nevertheless, the future appears bright and prosperous for us. We band of men will win and survive, and I hope to welcome you all back into my arms within a month’s time, maybe a little more.

Until the next chance I receive,

Maximus


Hope this is good enough :)

Identify the complete adjective clause.
S_A_V [24]
Your answer should be "that withstands winter winds". Adjective clauses can always be removed from a sentence, and leave a complete sentence behind. They also usually follow the noun they modify. In this case, the clause is modifying tree. Adjective clauses also usually start with certain words, and "that" is one of the starter words. I hope this helps!

In three to five sentences explain the type of conflict Marcus faces in this excerpt.
storchak [24]
<span>Hmm I would analyze this as a power struggle and the dynamics of the individual. As you can see, Marcus is arguing for his own freedom and states about "we used to be a free country" and also hints at the lack of privacy. You can feel the tension and the anger flaring in him from the diction that he uses to describe this, here his power and his rights is being "destroyed" because of not only the propaganda- but the symbolic figure of Mr. Benson- forcing him to apologize. Here the power struggle of the individual versus the conformity of a society without freedom of choice is so disliked and unwanted by Marcus he states that "He'd rather get kicked out than apologize." In other words if you want it short. 1. He's fighting against a government that limits the freedom of people and how they act. 2. Symbolically he is fighting against society by being the individual. 3. He is having problems with Mr. Benson and is not happy by how his used to be free country is now almost a dystopian land and that, there are no individual rights.</span><span />
