Answer:
"She leveled her spear, and threw it with all her might. The boar squealed as the sharp point pierced its skin."
Explanation:
In James Baldwin's "Old Greek Stories", one such story is that of Atalanta, the Fleet-Footed Huntress" of Arcadia. She had been abandoned in the forest by the orders of her father, the king of Arcadia at birth because of her gender and brought up first by wild bears and then by hunters.
The theme of gender discrimination is prevalent not only in this story but also in the society as a whole. Women are presumed to be the weaker sex while the men are supposed to be brave and do the hard work, go hunting etc. This shows the gender disparity which through Atalanta, this disparity was put into focus. Her decision to go on the hunt shocked the other men, who <em>"had never heard of such a thing as a girl going out with heroes to hunt wild boars." </em>But Atalanta showed that a person's gender is less significant compared to his/ her actions She strike the first wound and help kill the wild boar. During the hunt, she was the one who brought the boar to a standstill with her spear, making the "<em>boar squealed as the sharp point pierced its skin.</em>" This act shows that her actions matter more than what the men think of her and women and general.

Answer:
His need to see the king so as to make whatever requests he has makes him decide to tell the king about his daughter's 'supposedly' ability to spin gold from straw.
Explanation:
In the fable of "Rumpelstiltskin" by the Brothers Grimm, the story revolves around a miller's daughter capable of spinning straw into gold. And through this story, the theme of being truthful and being responsible for one's own actions are brought into the fore.
In order to feel or be taken superior, or at least taken seriously, the miller decided to lie to the king by stating that his daughter could spin straw into gold. Greedy as the king was, the king immediately asked for the daughter to prove her father's claim, which resulted in the actual production of gold from straw.
So, the main reason or motivation for the miller to tell the king about his daughter's ability to spin gold from a straw seems to be that he wants to be taken highly or to appear superior.
