Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents which in prosperous circumstances would have lain dormant. —Horace

English
1 answer:
Virty [35]2 years ago
3 0

Answer: The quote "Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents which in prosperous circumstances would have lain dormant ", by the poet Horace, is true to my life and I think is true for all life. The meaning behind it is that many times a person can face adversity and develop traits and talents that they would have never developed without those adversities. Although many people may think that adversity holds people back, I think that it enhances learning, exposes weakness, and helps us better understand ourselves. Without adversity it would be very difficult for people to advance and adapt in life.

With adversity comes learning. If life was always the same and your day to day process was a routine, then you would not learn very much. A person who lives like that would become very good at the things they do over and over again but then as soon that life style changes, they would have no idea what to do. That is why it is important to have adversity in life because it helps to learn when new situations occur. It also helps develop pristine skills and talents used in problem solving that would never exist without adversity.

Another advantage to having adversity in life is the exposure of weakness and the fortification of mental strength. When adversity comes up and we are easily able to solve the problem, we know that if that ever comes up again that we will have no problem bouncing back from that setback. If a larger and more severe situation occurs in out life and we are not able to handle it as well as other ones, we know that it is a weakness. Finding a weakness is beneficial for two reasons. The first is that it gives us something to practice for so that we are better at assessing such situations. The second is that it gives us something to watch out for and possibly makes us more careful to avoid that situation occurring again

How does a first-person narrator differ from a third-person narrator? Select all that apply.
UNO [17]

Answer:

Definitely the first one, probably the second and third as well?

Explanation:

A first-person narrator is usually recounting an event, so they definitely use 'I'.

A third-person narrator sometimes knows the thoughts of other characters, depending on whether they're omniscient or not.

A first-person narrator is likely to show bias I think, because they're telling the story from their point of view so they're very likely to share their opinions and stuff. I don't really know, you're gonna kinda have to decide on this one.

A third-person narrator sometimes takes part? I mean, if they're third-person limited then usually it's the POV of a character but from a more detached persona? For example, in the Heroes of Olympus series all the chapters are in third person limited but all the characters take part in the action. If it's third-person omniscient then I don't think they'd be taking part in the action, unless the narrator is like a dude from the future recounting events that happened to his younger self and all that stuff. I don't really know, man.
