Select the correct answer. What is the theme of the passage? Mason was walking through the mall, wondering what he should buy fo

r his mother. Today was her birthday. Mason had struggled all week trying to find the perfect gift, but nothing seemed right. He first thought about getting her a dress, only to realize that he had no idea what size she wore. Then he thought he’d get her a book, since his mother loved to read. But the book shop was large, and Mason couldn’t be sure which books she had already read. He thought to himself, “I don't know what Mom likes. I want to get her something that will make her happy.” That’s when he saw Little Potter’s Florist and Gardening Shop. His mother loved gardening! Mason ran over to the store. The owner of the store, Angela, was surprised to see Mason. Mason told her he was there to get a gift for his mother. Angela wrapped up five packets of seeds, five planters, and a new weeding fork. She also put together a fresh bouquet of roses for Mason to give to his mother. When the time came to present his gift to his mother, Mason grew anxious. He didn’t know whether or not she would like the gardening supplies. He wondered if he should have bought a dress like he had initially planned. Of course, it was too late to make a change, so he went to the kitchen where his mom was busy preparing a chicken dinner. Mason sneaked behind her and placed the gift on the table. He held out the bouquet and shouted, "Happy Birthday, Mama!" His mother was startled, but she accepted the bouquet with a smile. As she began to open the package, Mason could feel nervousness creeping up on him again. His mom remained silent as she removed the contents of the package. She then turned and hugged Mason with tears in her eyes. Mason knew his mother loved the gifts. She always cried when she was really happy.

This is an internal conflict. It is internal because the person in it is struggling whether to do what the person wants to do or what is expected of the person. External would be between people and not between multiple parts of a single person.

The story of Orpheus
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

Apollo gave his son Orpheus a lyre and taught him how to play. It had been said that "nothing could resist Orpheus's beautiful melodies, neither enemies nor beasts." Orpheus fell in love with Eurydice, a woman of beauty and grace, whom he married and lived happily with for a short time. However, when Hymen had been called to bless the marriage, he predicted that their perfection was not meant to last.

A short time after this prophecy, Eurydice had been wandering in the forest with the Nymphs. In some versions of the story, Aristaeus, a shepherd, then saw her, was beguiled by her beauty, made advances towards her and began to chase her. Other versions of the story relate that Eurydice is merely dancing with the Nymphs. In any case, while fleeing or dancing, she was bitten by a snake and died instantly. Therefore, Orpheus sung his grief with his lyre and managed to move everything, living or not, in the world; both humans and gods learnt about his sorrow and grief.

At some point, Orpheus decided to descend to Hades to see his wife. Ovid's version of the myth does not explain this decision,[4] while other versions relate that the gods and nymphs[citation needed] or Apollo himself, Orpheus' father,[citation needed] suggest that he make this journey. Any other mortal would have died, but Orpheus, being protected by the gods, goes to Hades and arrives at the Stygian realm, passing by ghosts and souls of people unknown. He also managed to attract Cerberus, the three-headed dog, with a liking for his music. He later presented himself in front of the god of the Greek underworld, Hades (Pluto in Roman mythology), and his wife, Persephone.

Orpheus played his lyre, attracting Hades. Hades told Orpheus that he can take Eurydice with him but under one condition: she would have to follow him while walking out to the light from the caves of the underworld, but he should not look at her before coming out to the light or else he might lose her forever. If Orpheus is patient, he might have Eurydice as a normal woman again by his side.

Thinking it a simple task for a patient man like himself, Orpheus was delighted; he thanked the gods and left to ascend back into the world. Unable to hear Eurydice's footsteps, however, he began fearing the gods had fooled him. Eurydice might have been behind him, but as a shade, having to come back into the light to become a full woman again. Only a few feet away from the exit, Orpheus lost his faith and turns to see Eurydice behind him, but her shade was whisked back among the dead, now trapped with Hades forever.

<span>#1) Form your ideas into a paragraph of at least five sentences. Make sure to include supporting evidence from the play.

Answer: I believe that the most important event from the play is the weird sisters predictions in the beginning of the play. The main reason being that this is what triggered the conflict and the ambition to be the King. In other words it was the beginning of his demise. If this event had not happened then the story would have played out in a completely different path.
