Answer:The excerpt that best expresses the theme that all living things are a part of, and are guided by, a natural purpose is:
She's only filled with an old blind wish. It isn't even hers but came to her
Explanation:"The Turtle" is a poem by author Mary Oliver. The speaker in the poem talks of the beauty and effortlessness of turtle laying eggs in the sand. It's a sacred action, which the turtle itself cannot understand since the drive to do it does not come consciously. It is a purely instinctive drive, guided by nature. The speaker admires the turtle's determination and patience in completing the task while remaining unaware of itself as an individual. The turtle sees itself as the world, and the world as itself.
A. Hyperbole
The statement is an exaggeration, and is this hyperbole.
Aeolus<span> presents Odysseus with a </span>bag<span> containing all of the winds, and he stirs up a westerly wind to guide Odysseus and his </span>crew<span> home. ... This time, however, </span>Aeolus <span>refuses to help them, certain that the gods hate Odysseus and wish to do him harm.</span>
Here is a suggestion for you:
When looking deeply into the characteristics of the
character Winston Smith within the novel _1984_ by George Orwell, we can see
that he has plain, ordinary, and everyday qualities that make this character
quite believable in terms of “this could be a real person.” As such, it is possible for anyone to see
himself or herself as Winston Smith, which makes the novel all the more
believable. One thing you could do
(because the directions you provided do not state the modern day equivalent
needs to be famous; however, it is always best to ask your teacher if this
would be okay) is draw correlations between yourself and Winston Smith. Again, the characteristics of Winston are
such that it is possible for most readers to see elements of themselves within
the character of Winston. As such, you could
be quite possible for you to present arguments for you seeing yourself as a
modern day equivalent, and you would obviously know yourself better than anyone
in existence (or fictional) so much so that the arguments for this equivalence
could be quite strong.
