Answer:

sympathy is feelings of pity and sorrow for someone else's misfortune. For example"they had great sympathy for the flood victims" it can also be known as understanding between people; common feeling. For example "the special sympathy between the two boys was obvious to all" and empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another. Empathy is the capacity to understand or feel what another person is experiencing from within their frame of reference, that is, the capacity to place oneself in another's position. For example Imagine you didn't like your best friends new friend, and you haven't approved of this relationship. She comes to you distraught that it is over. Part of being empathetic is reserving judgement, so you set aside what you think should happen and focus on her feelings instead. You give her a hug and listen attentively while she talks.

Answer:

4. Beth is impressed by the strength and loudness of the thunder.

In the given passage, Beth and Natalia are shown playing, with the rains falling which makes them stuck inside the house. Their eagerness to be outside and play is thwarted by the heavy rainfall.

But the main point of the passage and the question is the reference to Thor, the Norse god. The character of Thor is a myth, but ancient German mythology holds the belief that he is a mighty god, son of Odin, and from another world. Beth's reference to this god, commenting "Wow, Thor is really busy out there!" suggests she's impressed by the loud and strong nature of the rains and thunder.

Fatima tells Santiago that “The dunes are changed by the wind, but the desert never changes. That’s the way it will be with our

OlgaM077 [116]

I believe this is a metaphor, as it refers to one thing in order to show or suggest they are similar. The phrase means that, as how a desert can survive winds and remain steady, so is their love for each-other. No matter what happens, Fatima and Santiago’s love will forever be true-hearted and faithful. Hope this helps!
