English
1 answer:
spayn [35]3 years ago

Answer:

A rock.

Explanation:

Eugenia Collier's short story "Marigolds," tells the story of a young girl and her family struggling to survive amidst the racist discrimination against the blacks. The story deals with themes of growing up, racism, acceptance, and understanding one's identity.

Lizabeth recalls how one night her father was so frustrated at being unable to provide enough for his family. He felt bad that his wife had to suffer and do more work while he feels helpless in not getting any job. That night, he cried while his wife consoled him. And it was at that moment that Lizabeth recalls how his father, <em>"who was the rock on which the family had been built, was sobbing like the tiniest child."</em>

Thus, Lizabeth compares her father to a rock.

What was prophesied over the life of Banquo?Macbeth? Act 1 scene 3
MakcuM [25]
<span>Ross arrives and announces that Macbeth is to be the new Thane of Cawdor, thus confirming the first prophecy of the Witches. Banquo and Macbeth are struck dumb for the second time, but now Shakespeare contrasts their responses. Banquo is aware of the possibility that the prophecies may have been the work of supernatural dark forces, as exemplified in his lines "What? Can the Devil speak true?" (108) and "oftentimes, to win us to our harm, / The instruments of Darkness tell us truths . . . — (only) to betray us" (123-125). Macbeth is more ambiguous. His speech is full of what will now become his trademark — questioning, doubting, weighing up, and seeking to justify: "This supernatural soliciting / Cannot be ill; cannot be good" (130-131).</span>
