Answer:
Joe Kanty had a legitimate reason to seek revenge in 'Spunk' while none of the characters from “A Good Man is Hard to Find” had any legitimate reason for vengeance.
Explanation:
Vengeance (the act of revenging or taking revenge) is an act of paying back someone, often in their own coin, for a perceived injustice or wrong done to the person seeking revenge.
The character 'Joe Kanty' in the novel 'Spunk' did have a legitimate reason to seek revenge on the main character of the novel 'Spunk Banks.'
Spank Banks, a fearless, courageous and heftily-built man who worked at a sawmill, had taken the wife of Joe Kanty from him, as was Bank's usual custom.
When Joe Kanty summoned the courage to confront Spunk Banks, Spunk shot Joe dead right in front of his wife, Lena; who despised her husband Joe anyway on account of his timidity. It is believed that Joe's spirit came back to take revenge on Spunk by pushing off a log of wood onto the cutting blade which severely injured him. Spunk later died of the injury wounds.
None of the characters in the book 'A Good Man Is Hard to Find' however, has any legitimate reason to seek revenge, even though Bailey's family was murdered by the Misfit and his henchmen after their car had an accident.
Answer:
A
. Because the Cuban Missile Crisis resulted in the end of all U.S. flights to and from Cuba.
Explanation:
Operation Peter Pan, or known in Cuba as Pedro Pan, was the effort of the United States government to ensure the safety of Cuban children amidst the rise of Fidel Castro's rise in power. This effort was a humanitarian act to ensure the safety of the children of the dissident parents of the latest Cuban government's communist regime.
But this 'relief' effort was left hanging by the Cuban Missile Crisis that 'cut' all ties between the two nations. The Crisis led to the discontinuation of the flights from Cuba, resulting in the children stranded in the US while their parents were unable to leave Cuba and join their children.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
