"So now do you see why books are hated and feared? They show the pores in the face of life. The comfortable people want only wax

moon faces, poreless, hairless, expressionless. We are living in a time when flowers are trying to live on flowers, instead of growing on good rain and black loam. Even fireworks, for all their prettiness, come from the chemistry of the earth. Yet somehow we think we can grow, feeding on flowers and fireworks, without completing the cycle back to reality. Do you know the legend of Hercules and Antaeus, the giant wrestler, whose strength was incredible so long as he stood firmly on the earth. But when he was held, rootless, in mid-air, by Hercules, he perished easily. If there isn't something in that legend for us annotations.

What does "but his peers are hoping their act of kindness will change his mind" mean in the sentence?
Amanda [17]
This sentence means a character had decided upon a certain action for a problem in their head. however other characters (the peers in this example) bestowed an act of kindness or "did something nice" for this other characters in hopes that he/she would change their mind. A good example would be if you upset your parent by acting up and they said no to a sleepover. you would do chores or act kindly towards them in order to try to get them to change their mind and say yes.

Salva’s character is developing as the story progresses. What is one thing about Salva’s character that you think is changing?
cupoosta [38]
Um I don’t know how far you’ve gotten, so yeah.

Salvas character is starting to change, he’s becoming mentally stronger, he’s becoming more brave. He has to be more tougher now that the only 2 people he had during this trip are gone. He became a leader, he led and helped others, while still keeping himself alive.

In your opinion, which character is more evil, Macbeth or Lady Macbeth? Explain why and provide at least two examples of specifi
PolarNik [594]

Answer:  As this is an opinion, I will say Macbeth.

Explanation:

Macbeth proves to be more evil than Lady Macbeth.  

1. While she plays a very devious role as inspiring him to commit the deeds of murder, in the final analysis, Macbeth is the one to commit these acts.

2. While Lady Macbeth does display some level of regret, guilt, or remorse about her actions, Macbeth plunges into a deeper moral abyss with his actions and the depravity they represent.  Both characters can fit the label of being evil with their actions and thoughts, Lady Macbeth still had the ability of compassion or even empathy that Macbeth did not possess.
