The line of Ingrid Jonker "your child dies and lives on" has a possible double meaning since it does not make sense when you say a person dies and then lives on. This statement should not be interpreted literally, this means that even if the child dies, it doesn't mean that he will not be with you forever. He will remain with you even if he is already dead, his memories, his love and your love for him will still be there. You might not realize it but after his death, this amazing thing will happen where it will seem that he did not die at all. <span />
Answer:The War of the Worlds chronicles the events of a Martian invasion as experienced by an unidentified male narrator and his brother. The story begins a few years before the invasion. During the astronomical opposition of 1894, when Mars is closer to Earth than usual, several observatories spot flashes of light on the surface of Mars. The narrator witnesses one of these flashes through a telescope at an observatory in Ottershaw, Surrey, England. He immediately alerts his companion, Ogilvy, “the well-known astronomer.” Ogilvy quickly dismisses the idea that the flashes are an indication of life on Mars. He assures the narrator that “[t]he chances against anything manlike on Mars are a million to one.” The flashes continue unexplained for several nights.
Explanation:
My essay on a Greek mythical character is about the infamous Zeus. Zeus is the god of the sky, lightning and the thunder in Ancient Greek religion and legends, and ruler of all the gods on Mount Olympus. Zeus is the sixth child of Kronos and Rhea, king and queen of the Titans. Zeus is featured in many other Greek tales, however, they’re very different from one another. In most traditions, he is married to Hera, by whom he is usually said to have fathered Ares, Hebe, and Hephaestus. At the oracle of Dodona, his consort was said to be Dionee, by whom the Iliad states that he fathered Aphrodite. Zeus was also infamous for his erotic escapades. He’s also quite famous with the goddesses, Zeus had made love to one of the Pleiades, Maia, who gave birth to the tricky messenger of the gods, Hermes. Before Zeus was god of gods, his father, Cronus was the god of all gods until he was overthrown by Zeus. Zeus’s sons were Ares, the god of war, Hebe, the goddess of youth, and Hephaestus, the god of fire. Hephaestus limped whenever he walked, on some accounts it was because he was born lame so his mother, Hera, threw him off the side of Mount Olympus. According to others he acquired the limp because he interceded in a fight between Zeus and Hera, and Zeus took him by the foot and threw him from Olympus to the earth far below. In some stories Zeus was overthrown by Typhon, a gigantic son of Gaia, the Earth, and Tartarus. Typhon was born to avenge the Titans and depose the Olympians. Though some believe Zeus was undoubtably the victor.
At that moment, Great Britain had been involved in the Second World War since September 1939, so the country was going through a hard time, economically and socially speaking.
Actually, what caused Chamberlain to resign was his recent political attitude towards Nazi Germany.
Contrary to Churchill, he didn't really took a firm stance against Hitler's expansionism: let us take the Munich Conference (1938), for example. Here Chamberlain and the French PM agreed to make concessions to the Nazis, because they believed a compromise would have saved Europe from another conflict. That was the "appeasement" policy. As a result, Hitler was allowed to annex some parts of Czechoslovakia on the condition that he would not occupy other countries.
We now know that Chamberlain's appeasement policies failed and that the Nazis soon betrayed the agreement, attacking Poland in 1939. Moreover, by the time Chamberlain resigned in 1940, the Germans had occupied Norway, making the British Army retreat.
This military defeat and the failure of the appeasement policy had a negative effect on his political reputation. The Allied Powers were then in a difficult situation, while Germany continued to expand on the continent. Finally, Chamberlain decided to resign, lacking of political support.
He was succeded by Winston Churchill, who had already gained enough trust thanks to his strong hostility against the Nazis. He, then, led Great Britain to the final victory.
