The lines that describe recent events are the following: "<span>Seven captains at our seven gates Thundered; for each a champion waits, Each left behind his armor bright, Trophy for Zeus who turns the fight; Save two alone, that ill-starred pair One mother to one father bare, Who lance in rest, one 'gainst the other Drave, and both perished, brother slain by brother."
Here, the chorus recounts the recent war of Argive and Thebes armies, led by two brothers, Polyneices and Eteocles, who killed each other. This event if the foreground of the plot. The chorus' story serves at least two purposes: reminding the audience of a well-known occurrence (thus providing a context for the plot), and a foreshadowing of another tragedy that is about to happen.</span>
It comes from serving others I believe.
Third sentence Phillip and Alicia moved into their new house
Answer:
C. New environments can change one's sense of self-worth.
Explanation:
Charles Dickens' <em>Great Expectations</em> tells the story of a young orphan named Pip and his rise to being a gentleman. But more importantly, his childhood days, the education and knowledge that he learned along the way during his various encounters with different sorts of people and the theme of belonging, loss of innocence, and society are all dealt with in the story.
In the given excerpt from Chapter VIII of the text, the scene shows Pip's first encounter with Miss Havisham and also Estella. Pip admits he had never questioned his childhood until that day when after meeting with Miss Havisham, was led to the courtyard under the bright sunlight. As though everything hidden in the dark is illuminated by the sun, Pip also feels ashamed of his appearance and even regrets not being taught properly by Joe. He admits his shame in realizing his <em>"coarse hands and my common boots"</em> were seen by Miss Havisham, admits that<em> "they had never troubled me before, but they troubled me now as vulgar appendages"</em>. He even expressed his<em> "wish [that] Joe had been rather more genteely brought up, and then I should have been so too"</em>, which shows <u>his feeling of inferiority in the face of Miss Havisham,</u> or in general, in front of someone richer or 'classier' than them.
I think it is talking about a person who died. Hope this helps.
