Which is an example of a character's conflict with others?

bagirrra123 [75]

There are several types of conflicts in literature:

You have:

1. Man versus Self

2. Man versus another character

3. Man versus nature (ex. To build a Fire by Jack London)

4. Man versus Society (ex: Atlas Shrugged)

In this case I would think that the conflict is found in D: Perseus's effort to escape from the Gorgons after he kills Medusa.

The reason why I feel that D is the best option is because There is a cause and effect of the conflict. Pereus caused a death and now that brings conflict into the picture especially since it says he has to put effort into escaping the other characters (Gorgons).

Good luck and I hope this helped.

Evaluate the culture presented in the story. What details do you notice that show this story is not taking place in the United S

Viktor [21]

Answer:

Descriptions of the setting, particularly the names of the streets, indicate "Araby" does not take place in the United States.*

*See explanation for a more in-depth answer

Explanation:

There are subtle ‘hints,’ or details, presented throughout the story that show “Araby” is not taking place in the United States. For starters, the story states these two specific street names: “North Richmond Street” and “Buckingham Street.” Now, these are two street names that America does have. There is a Richmond Street located in Palmdale, California and there is a Buckingham Street in Fullerton, California. Based on this information alone one might (unknowingly & incorrectly) assume that the story is taking place in America. However, there is one sentence in the story that reveals this story could not have taken place in the United States. Read the first sentence of “Araby”:

“North Richmond Street, being blind, was a quiet street except at the hour when the Christian Brothers' School set the boys free.”

According to this sentence, there is a Christian Brothers’ School located on North Richmond Street. Only one place in the world has an all boys school located on a street called North Richmond. That place is Dublin, Ireland. Therefore, based on the gathered information, it is safe to say that this story takes place in Dublin, Ireland; not the United States.

FUN FACT:

The Christian Brothers’ School on North Richmond Street changed its name to O’Connell Secondary School.
