Answer: 1) What Goldsmith means, is that Death, is something all humans experience. Our mortality makes death inevitable and inescapable. Making it a somewhat, permanent condition.

2) "Like sex. death both fascinates youth and makes their elders reticent" I agree with this statement.  Youth, are driven by emotions and feeling, making them more fascinated and intrigued by intercourse. They are knew to this aspect of love and life. Elders, may become less amused, and more silent about the topic. Having known it's personal and not something to be shared openly. They keep it to themselves.

Hope this helps (^_^)

Hillenbrand writes, "As Louie blazed through college, far away, history was turning" (p. 43). Why does the author interrupt Loui
Dima020 [189]

Explanation:  This is a passage related to the work "Unbroken" by American author Laura Hillenbrand. The writer interrupts Louis's story by inserting information about Japan and Germany, thus better informing readers of the background of the story. The broader picture of Zamperini is acquired in this way, that is, how Zamperini's life can be changed by war. Although Louis Zamperini may have had different plans after participating in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, his plans were interrupted by the war. Although he had some plans of his own, he never dreamed that he would survive a plane crash in the Pacific Ocean, swim for 47 days on a raft and spend two and a half years in three brutal Japanese camps. The idea is that the world around us changes as often as we don't want it to.

Story Cinderella
dlinn [17]
The story makes it very clear who is considered a “good” person and who is portrayed as otherwise. The good people are easily identifiable by observing their characteristics; Cinderella, the main character, is a perfect example. Despite her rough upbringing she was still kind hearted and did the best she could manage, and just wanted to have fun and be able to share the same experiences of other girls (by going to be ball, being free.) She was also incredibly patient and gentle. The prince is also a good character, still accepting Cinderella even after learning she wasn’t the rich, classy woman she had originally appeared to be and continuously searching for her throughout the story because he had fallen in love with her. I believe that Cinderella and the prince are two examples of good characters in this story, but the tale presents many examples of both good and bad characteristics.


Apologies if this paragraph seems a little lengthy, but here’s what my answer would be. Hope this helps!
