The poem "The Mending Wall" by Robert Frost and the song "Hey You" by Pink Floyd share a common universal symbol. In a paragraph
GREYUIT [131]
Both poem and the song describes the theme of loneliness and companionship. In the beginning a character is introduced of loneliness and staring at the cold. I guess the both literary texts describe how the boy should encourage himself to get out there in the world but in the end he ends up being comfortable with his own wall built.

Which detail best supports the inference that Atalanta will let Hippomenes win the race? "It would be a great pity if he should
Sati [7]

Answer:

"He was the finest young man that she had ever seen, he had given her three golden apples, and he had risked his life to win her."

Explanation:

The Greek mythology of Atalanta tells the story of the human huntress who was so adamant about being victorious over everyone and staying unmarried forever. But when Hippomenes came and participated in the competition for her hand in marriage, she 'intentionally' let him win so as to be married to him.

In the given excerpt, Atlanta was kept distracted by Hippomenes by using the three magical golden apples given by Aphrodite. Though distracted by the golden apples, she was also a bit interested in Hippomenes that she did not mind letting him win. She observed,<em> "He was the finest young man that she had ever seen, he had given her three golden apples, and he had risked his life to win her." </em>

Thus, the correct answer to the question is the third option.

Read this summary of Animal Farm by George Orwell. Then match the lines of the summary with the different phases in the plot of
ELEN [110]

Exposition:The wise pig, Major, makes all the animals  in the farm realize that they are being   ill-treated and that they can put an end to  their own misery by getting rid of their  owner, Mr. Jones.

Rising action:The animals take Major's advice and get  together to overthrow Mr. Jones, making  him leave the farm. They then start their own  farm and make up their own rules and   commandments. Initially, two pigs, Napoleon  and Snowball, are in charge of Animal Farm.

Climax:Napoleon is quite selfish because he wants  to be the sole chief of the farm. He plots   against Snowball and turns the other animals  against Snowball to get him thrown out of the  farm. Then Napoleon takes over as the chief.

Falling action:After that, the pigs break the rules and  commandments that they themselves, along  with the other animals, prepared and planned.  The pigs start to disobey and change every  law that they were following earlier. They  also start to behave and look like humans.

denouement:Gradually, the government of Animal Farm  loses its authority, and Mr. Jones returns  as the farm’s owner.

                                                         Hope it helps :)
