Hello. Since you did not provide the text, the answer may be a little inaccurate, but I hope it helps.

Answer and Explanation:

One of the most important points in Edipo Rei's story is the professions and how they impact the story and influence the characters' actions. Firstly we see the profession being given to Edipo's biological father, while the oracle says that he will be killed by his son and that this will result in a curse for the family. Edipo's father is so agonized by this information that he orders to kill his own son, who survives and, in fact, kills him without knowing that he is his father. This moment reveals the lack of fraternity in the family and the fear of the future.

Oedipus also receives the profession that he will kill his father and marry his mother and for fear of causing harm to his adoptive parents he leaves, in the middle of the way he murders his biological father and marries his biological mother, without knowing his familiarity. between them.

The last prophecy is shown when Oedipus seeks the killer of the king of Thebes, his biological father, and receives the profession that the killer is closer to what he imagines.

Refer to the story Everything that Rises Must Converge in the textbook Explorations in Literature. Which sentence best states th
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

The sentence that best states the them of "Everything that Rises Must Converge" is:

D. Crisis leads to clarity of perspective.

Explanation:

"Everything that Rises Must Converge" is a short story by author Flannery O'Connor. The plot revolves around J.ulian and his mother. J.ulian considers himself a modern, progressive young man, whose mind is open to the new times and new demands of society. On the other hand, he perceives his own mother in a most close-minded way, constantly judging her actions and believing she is wrong, even inferior, for having a prejudiced view of the word.

<u>J.ulian does not realize he is prejudiced as well, but against his own mother. </u><u>It is only at the end of the story, when she has stroke and dies (a crisis), that clarity comes to him.</u><u> She dies after having been punched by an African-American woman who felt offended by her. Instead of helping his mother, comforting her, explaining why that happened, J.ulian begins to humiliate her, saying she had gotten what she deserved. When she passes away, however, he has "his entry into the world of guilt and sorrow." He loses the woman who loved him unconditionally and who, in return, only received his judgment.</u>

NOTE: I had to type J.ulian with this dot because, for some reason, Brainly will not let me post the answer otherwise.
