Answer and Explanation:

Personality is the term that refers to the set of outstanding characteristics that a person has about their behavior and their way of acting. In other words personality refers to the individuality of every individual and the way he or she presents himself to the world.

Many scholars have discussed how personality is formed. Some of them believe that personality is created by genetic factors and that it is transmitted from parent to child, like any other characteristic in an organism. Others believe that personality is created through the environment in which an individual grows up and through the way that individual is raised and the experiences he or she has throughout life. There are still scientists who believe that personality is formed by the combination of these two factors, where each has an intense influence.

Although we are not able to assert that personality is completely formed by the environment around us, we do know that this environment is very important in determining our behavior in different situations. Mainly, because we know that our behavior changes over time, however, genetic elements are immutable which can make us disregard the impact of genetics on our personality.

Therefore, we can state that more research is needed on this subject, leading to more precise conclusions about how personality is formed and thus allowing us to understand ourselves more appropriately.

From the poem Ithaka, ''What does the speaker say will make the traveler wealthy?''

Fantom [35]

Answer:

The speaker says that the experience of going through the long journey will make the traveler wealthy.

Explanation:

Constantine Cavafy's poem "Ithaka" is an allegorical poem about the journey of Odysseus and his decade-long journey to get back home to Ithaca. The poem draws inspiration and alludes to that epic journey, but talks more in a generalized sense of getting knowledge through the journey.

The speaker "advises" that every man must go through a journey like Odysseus in order to get to one's own "Ithaka" or in this sense, one's life end or goal. "Ithaka" here is a metaphor for the personal goal of a person/ individual. And to him, the lifelong travel through numerous 'obstacles', the memories, the experience of the journey will make the traveler wealthy.

Wise as you will have become, so full of experience,

you will have understood by then what these Ithakas mean.

According to the poet, it is not the physical wealth that will make the traveler rich but rather the experiences and life lessons he will have learned along the way, that will make him wealthy.

Examine the plot structure in "The Most Dangerous Game": locate the exposition, building action, climax, and resolution. 125 wor

harkovskaia [24]

Answer and Explanation:

"The Most Dangerous Game" is a short story by Richard Connell. The exposition first introduces the protagonist, Rainsford, who is aboard a yatch on his way to Rio. Rainsford is a skilled hunter who shows no remorse or empathy after having killed so many animals. Once he falls from the yatch by accident, Rainsford lands in General Zaroff's island. We are now introduced the antagonist. Just like Rainford, Zaroff is a hunter without much empathy for his prey. The only problem is Zaroff does not hunt animals. He hunts men.

The building action begins when Zaroff starts hunting Rainsford after the latter refuses to chase and kill other men with him. This part of the plot takes place in the forest on the island. Zaroff gets close to catching Rainsford a couple of times. But, since he enjoys the hunt, he never does it. Tension builds as Rainsford keeps on trying to escape.

The climax in this story is divided into two parts. First, it is climatic when Zaroff finally corners Rainsford. Rainsford ends up jumping from a cliff into the ocean. Since there is no sign of him, the general assumes he is dead, and returns home. The second part of the climax takes place in Zaroff's bedroom, where Rainsford is hiding. They fight.

The resolution is the revelation that Rainsford has won the fight and is now sleeping soundly in Zaroff's bed.
