You have read two passages, Watership Down and “How the Zebra Got His Stripes,” both of which explain the origins of animals’ ph
ysical traits. Explain how both authors use conflict to explain these origin stories and to reveal lessons about life. In your essay, consider the similarities and differences between the characters and how they are developed.
This answer is long and i’m sorry about that it might also not be the answer for wht ur looking for but this is what i know about it. This is a African story of how the zebra got its stripes. There are many stories and questions on how the zebra got his stripes, and here in Africa one of the most well-known is from the the San / Bushmen people of the Namibian Kalahari Desert.
Many African tales and stories are told of the wild animals in Africa, to explain their unique look or behaviour.
So, how did the Zebra got his black stripes, or is it white stripes? Well, let me tell you the fable.
Long ago, when animals were still new in Africa, the weather was very hot, and what little water there was remained in a few pools and pans.
One of these remaining water pools was guarded by a boisterous baboon, who claimed that he was the 'lord of the water' and forbade anyone from drinking at his pool.
One fine day when a zebra and his son came down to have a drink of water, the baboon, who was sitting by his fire next to the waterhole, jumped up and barked in a loud voice. 'Go away, intruders. This is my pool and I am the lord of the water.'
'The water is for everyone, not just for you, monkey-face,' The zebra's son shouted back.
'If you want some of the water, you must fight for it,' returned the baboon in a fine fury, and in a moment the two were locked in combat.
Back and forth they went fighting, raising a huge cloud of dust, until with a mighty kick, the zebra sent the baboon flying high up among the rocks of the cliff behind them. The baboon landed with a smack on his seat, taking all the hair clean off, and to this very day, he still carries the bare patch where he landed.
The tired and bruised young zebra, not looking where he was going, staggered back through the baboon's fire, which scorched him, leaving black burn stripes across his white fur.
The shock of being burned, sent the zebra galloping away to the savannah plains, where he has stayed ever since.
The baboon and his family, however, remain high up among the rocks where they bark defiance at all strangers, and when they walk around, they still hold up their tails to ease the sore rock-burn of their bald patched bottoms.
In “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” King explains the purpose and effectiveness ofnonviolent direct actions through the concept of negotiations.For example, Kingmentions “direct action seeks to create such a crisis and foster such a tension that acommunity which has constantly refused to negotiate is forced to confront the issue.”King believes that tension is a good thing and that it is what is needed for direct actionto take place. Nonviolent can get one’s point across with hopefully less repercussions. Inaddition, King pulls an example from Socrates to strengthen his argument about whynonviolent direct action is the most effective way to handle things. For example, Kingwrites “Just as Socrates felt that it was necessary to create a tension in the mind so that individuals could rise from the bondage of myths and half-truths to the unfettered realmof creative analysis and objective appraisal, so we must see the need for nonviolentgadflies to create the kind tension in society that will help men rise from the dark depthsof prejudice and racism to the majestic heights of understanding and brotherhood.”Once again, it is thought that tension is a good thing when it comes to a controversialissue. Without tension, there can be no discussion, and without discussion, there can beno progress.
1. Because she is a woman far ahead of her time, presenting women in positions that were not stimulated in society and that could shock listeners. Her story is about female freedom, wisdom and even sexual freedom and that was not something advocated in women at the time.
2. The king's punishment is for the knight to be executed for having abused a maiden against her will.
3. The queen begs the king for mercy. The irony in this is that no one imagined that the queen would impose a task so that the knight would not be executed, as readers might think that she would intercede for the knight only because she was kind and not a strategist as she proved to be.
4. Bath's wife claims that having the power to dominate is what binds women to men, because by dominating their husbands, women are able to satisfy their desires and enjoy everything that gives them pleasure. What the old woman values most is the loyalty between the couple
