Answer:

Iliad is about revenge, war and forgiveness.

Explanation:

Iliad is a poem that is written by a Greek poet, Homer. The revenge is shown in many parts, along with the part where Achilles stops to fight in order to get revenge against Agamemnon. Achilles vowed that he will get revenge for the death of his best friend and brother, and he fought against his killer, Hector. Revenge is almost always accompanied by forgiveness. Eventually, Achilles got his revenge for his brother's death but it doesn't bring him peace and comfort. He sacrificed to the Gods the body of Hector and even after his death, he couldn't reach the inner peace he expected he would get and erase the pain that he felt. Hector's father, King Priam came to him and begged him for his dead son's body. At the end, Achilles felt sympathy because it was his fault that someone lost a son. When he gave Hector's body back, it brought him a piece of comfort. Through the whole book, Achilles was showing no mercy against anyone and he was removing anybody that got in his way. As it always happen, in the end, things turned around unexpectedly. He found peace within his enemy's forgiveness. This book is an important historical gem and every person can learn something from it. It doesn't matte how bitter, angry, disappointed we get, we never know where we will find our closure, peace and forgiveness.

What social, economic, and material gains did African Americans make after the civil rights era? Why did some black Americans do

konstantin123 [22]

After the Civil Rights Era, many black people were able to thrive and make significant social, economic and material gains. Many African-Americans moved to cities in order to find better work opportunities. Others decided to pursue higher education, as institutions were more accepting of their enrolment. Many African-Americans joined the middle class and were able to buy houses in desirable areas.

There are many reasons why gains were not the same across the board. While many African-Americans took advantage of these opportunities, others were stuck in a cycle of poverty and oppression that originated during slavery. Others lived in communities where these opportunities were not available, or faced high levels of discrimination and racism.

The black community, as many other communities, has a class stratification. This means that many within the community belong to high classes, many others are middle class, and many are from the lower classes, regardless of the fact that they share the same skin colour. Because of this, sometimes tensions can arise within the community. Many people from the lower classes might resent higher ones, while people from the higher classes can sometimes fail to see the constraints that the lower classes have.

irakobra [83]

Evangelicals believe that one needs to believe and praise Jesus in order to be saved (just being a good person is not enough), and additionally one needs to be "born again" - a spiritual rebirth from the Holy Spirit.
