Answer: F Definition 1

Explanation:

This is based on the book, "A Long Walk to Water " by Linda Sue Park. The book focuses on Salva Dut and Nya. With Salva Dut the book follows his journey in the Sudan during the Sudanese civil war and how he had to lead a large group to safety as they looked for food and avoided conflict.

Nya was a fictitious character whose story was included to show that water shortage was still an issue in Sudan. In paragraph 19, Salva encounters a situation that causes him to hesitate at first before then reacting. The best meaning here therefore is that he paused first and then reacted.

What can you understand about Greek cultural values based on the portrayal and characterization of Polyphemus? What is being sai
Advocard [28]

Answer and Explanation:

The representation and characterization of Polyphemus features a monster that lives in caves. This was very common in Greek culture, to believe that monstrous and dangerous creatures were hidden in antiquity, in the seas and in caves, as they would be fought if they lived in the midst of civilization. As a monstrous Greek creature, Polyphemus is ferocious, bloodthirsty and strong, acting violently against human beings.

He is also unintelligent, easily falling into Odysseus' trap.

This shows that the Greek people, even fearing and recognizing their disadvantages in relation to monsters, believed that wisdom had reasoning as an advantage that would allow them to survive.

What is the poem prevision about
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

I immediately start thinking of Anne Morrow Lindberg's classic book Gift from the Sea. Another poem I also think of is "Fear" by Gabriela Mistral. Kilmer's poem, especially 13-16, are ready-made for tombstones. "My heart shall keep the child I knew/When you are really gone from me,/And spend its life remembering you/As shells remember the lost sea." This is a poem from a mother's heart, where grief has pierced it beyond the presenthour. It's the brief moments she clings to, and then must acknowledge the brevity of the precious life that was given to her in the form of the child. Lines 11-12 tug at the visual, "A mist about your beauty clings/Like a thin cloud before a star."
