Personally I believe the extended metaphor could be more effective since it provides more info and meaning to the poem itself
Answer:
The excerpt suggests that the Iroquois believed that:
sometimes good can come from tragedy.
Explanation:
The excerpt in question is part of a creation myth by the Iroquois, a group of Native-American tribes. According to it, tragedy can give birth to blessings. The death of "our mother" gave origin to plants whose existence would be crucial for the survival of the Iroquois people: corn, beans, squash, and tobacco. Death does not cease to be a tragic event. It still brings sadness and loss into people's lives. But the myth uses it to show that, however bad things may seem, something good may come out of it.
If the octopus is inside one of the boxes, it doesn't matter what you ask if trying to find out which box the octopus is BEHIND
I would say the best answer is A, he hides behind a tree. I was in between A and D, but one can run in a park.
B wouldn't work because him being dressed in ordinary street clothes doesn't show that he's afraid of something.
C wouldn't work because although yes, he was panting, that could mean that he's just tired; not necessarily, scared.
The man hiding behind the tree is the best evidence for the conclusion of him being afraid of something. Also in the passage it states, "....he moved behind a tree. Seeming not to notice my presence, he stood with his back against the trunk, panting."
In the poem it says " the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain thrilled me-filled me with fantastic terrors never felt" it is saying the curtains frightened him. that just what i think but it has been a while sense i read that poem so<span />
