Read the passage below. Then, explain how the explicit and implicit details in the passage help the reader make the following in

ference: Felix will most likely cast his vote for Simone. In developing your response, make sure you identify and analyze several explicit and implicit details.
Passage: The secret-ballot election for class president was this afternoon, but Felix didn't know how he would be voting. Felix knew this was a big deal, since the class presidents had a major say in how the school was run. While Felix waited for Jamal and Simone to deliver their final speeches, he took out a charcoal pencil and pad and did a quick sketch of Simone, who paced frantically at the back of the room, wringing her hands. Simone spoke first, rambling at the beginning but then slowing down a bit. Her main focus, she said, would be getting more money for art class supplies and more space for the music program — which caused Felix to glance thoughtfully at the trumpet case next to his desk. When it was Jamal's turn, he immediately captivated the audience — tall and handsome, he seemed able to convince anyone of anything, except his best friend, Felix. That's why Jamal liked Felix — he was a freethinker. In his speech, Jamal explained how he wanted to cut back on music and the arts in favor of more science and math, which he said was important for the future of our country. The class applauded wildly, but Felix had already stopped listening and returned to his sketch of Simone.

Write your response below.

Should Prometheus be punished for bringing fire to man?
harina [27]

Answer: In Greek mythology, the Titan Prometheus had a reputation as being something of a clever trickster and he famously gave the human race the gift of fire and the skill of metalwork, an action for which he was punished by Zeus, who ensured everyday that an eagle ate the liver of the Titan as he was helplessly chained to a rock.

Prometheus (meaning "Forethought") was one of the ringleaders of the battle between the Titans and the Olympian gods led by Zeus to gain control of the heavens, a struggle which was said to have lasted ten years. Prometheus did, however, switch sides and support the victorious Olympians when the Titans would not follow his advice to use trickery in the battle.

According to Hesiod's Theogony, Prometheus' father was Iapetus, his mother was Clymene (or Themis in other versions) and his brothers were fellow Titans Epimetheus (Afterthought or Hindsight), Menoetius, and Atlas. One of Prometheus' sons was Deucalion, an equivalent of Noah, who survived a great flood by sailing in a great chest for nine days and nights and who, with his wife Pyrrha, became the founder of the human race.

In some traditions, Prometheus made the first man from clay, whilst in others, the gods made all creatures on Earth, and Epimetheus and Prometheus were given the task of endowing them with gifts so that they might survive and prosper. Epimetheus liberally spread around such gifts as fur and wings but by the time he got around to man, he had run out of gifts.
