From the story " The Alchemist ") In medieval times, it was believed that there was a process that would change base metals into

gold. An alchemist has the ability to transform things. In the prologue, the alchemist changes the ending of the myth about Narcissus. Narcissus looked at his reflection in the lake every day. But in the alchemist's story, the lake was enjoying its own reflection in Narcissus's eyes. What do you think the author is implying about how we see ourselves and others?​

Answer:

Narcissus was a disdainful and self centered person.

Explanation:

he didn't stop to look at other people and see them for their insides, he rejected love and loved ones until he found his own reflection in the lake and fell in love with his own beauty, so much so that he didn't take part or notice of the world around him and knelt by the lake every day just to look at himself. (I don't know if this has any bearing but the lake was also in love with its own beauty.) The alchemist on the other hand, paid attention to everyone and everything and wondered about everything. he even wondered about sheep (that passage should be in your story). The meaning portrayed by the Narcissus story in The Alchemist is that people sometimes are too focused on their own beauty and physical things and they lose track of the Soul of the World and the true beauty within the universe.

(Diary of Anne Frank) In Act I, Scene 3, Peter is ashamed of his parents' behavior toward Mr. Dussel. Why does he feel this way?
Lisa [10]

Answer:

He is ashamed because his parents behave very selfishly with the arrival of Mr. Dussel.

Explanation:

"Diary of Anne Frank" is a play that seeks to reproduce the moments lived by Anne Frank's family while they were hiding to avoid being taken to the Nazi concentration camps. Anne Frank's family was Jewish and is hiding in a very small place together with the Van Daan family, who was also a Jewish family.

The two families live with little space and small amounts of food, however, Mr. Frank, decided to help yet another Jew to hide, Mr. Dussel. However, the Van Daan family did not like this idea and they behaved in a very bad manner when Mr. Dussel arrives in hiding. Mr and Mrs Van Daan are concerned about the amount of food now that they will have to feed one more person. This makes their son, Peter, very ashamed.

Peter is also embarrassed when everyone in hiding finds out that Mr Van Daan is stealing the food.
