Answer and Explanation:

Prometheus was a titan who saw in human beings a lot of potential and wanted to help them, since human beings were his creation and he was very proud of what he had created. He wanted humans to dominate the land and other animals and so he gave them the ability to think and reason. When Zeus saw this, he was angry, because with reasoning, human beings would be unbeatable and dominate Zeus' creations. For this reason, to limit the autonomy of human beings, Zeus took away from them the possibility of producing fire on the earth.

Prometheus then resolved to steal fire from Olympus and give it to humans, allowing them to remain the true dominators of the land.

This story has a strong cultural significance, as the Greeks were very connected to knowledge, study and reasoning and used this story to explain the importance of thought, which made Zeus himself worried.

Arnold asks his parents, "Who has the most hope?" What group of people do you believe have the most hope? Why is it so important
adell [148]

Hoping is for everyone.

Those homeless kids? They might be hoping for a meal tonight. That kid who keeps getting picked on? He's probably hoping to be left alone. That little girl who hears her parents arguing? She might be hoping that they'd just make up.

Hoping keeps people alive, in a way.

For example, when the Americans during the 1700's wanted their freedom from Britain, they started a war. They lost so many battles. If they had given up hope, then America would've still been under British rule.

If the world gave up hope when Hitler was massacring those Jews, there would be no more Jews left in the world, probably. Germany might have still been a dictatorship.

Hoping and wishing are almost the same. ALMOST. Wishing is almost always useless, face it. Who would hear and care about your wishes anyways? Wishes are for all sorts of things that we know we can't have, and that are almost always unrealistic. 'I wish I could be a millionaire.' 'I wish I could fly.' 'I wish I could eat as many pizzas as I'd like without getting full.'

Hopes are more realistic, more thoughtful, and much easier to achieve. 'I hope my mom stays alive.' 'I hope I can get this job interview.' 'I hope I can go to the park today.'

I hope this helps your answer! Good luck!

What shift takes place in who is reading the words from Anne’s diary and why did the author choose to do that?​
puteri [66]

Answer:

It changes the mood from somebody who is curious about what's written in the diary<em> </em><em>(Mr. Frank)</em> to somebody who is eager to tell a story<em> (Anne Frank). </em>

The author chose to do that <u>in order to let the audience know what it's like to be reading another person's diary from what it's like to write a diary, as in Anne's case.</u> It also allows the audience to know the<em> actual date and setting </em>when Anne started writing the diary.

Explanation:

The question above is related to the drama entitled, "The Diary of Anne Frank."

It can be seen in Line 59 that <em>Mr. Frank </em>started reading Anne's Diary. This was after Miep told him that there were letters and notes in the bundles of paper that she gave him.

As Mr Frank was reading, <u>his voice shifted to Anne's voice</u>. This was the time she talked about his father's business and how her family went into hiding.
