"B" clearly wouldn't be the correct answer, i've seen the show performed 100's of times and believe you me, it is anything but upbeat and hopeful. "C" sounds like it may be correct except for the fact that the entire story isn't about redemption or rebirth, maybe of the nation. "D" is way out of the question because London was exactly that in the 1800's, dark and cold. So the correct answer here would be "A" the beginning of the show is really dark and cold.

Summary for chapters 1-5 for the lost boy dave pelzer
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

Chapter 1: The Runaway

The Lost Boy begins in the winter of 1970, in Daly City, California. Dave Pelzer is nine years old and suffering from his mother’s abuse. He is hungry and cold as he sits at the bottom of the stairs in the garage. He feels like he is a prisoner of his mother, and the abuse has been going on for some time. He never gets enough food to eat and has to steal food at school. When he returns home his mother forces him to vomit in the toilet bowl to prove he did not steal any food. He is routinely beaten. He always sleeps on a cot in the garage. At weekends he gets no food at all. He is an outcast in his family, with his mother targeting him for abuse but not his brothers. He feels he does not deserve any long and thinks of himself as “a child called ‘It’.” At four o’clock in the afternoon, Dave listens to his drunken parents arguing about him upstairs. His father thinks Dave’s mother is too harsh on him, that no child deserves to be treated like that. He often tries to stand up to his wife but she takes no notice of him. She will not allow anyone else to tell her what to do.

She tells Dave to come upstairs. She makes him stand in front of her and tells him not to speak or move. He is familiar with this “game.” She grabs his ear, and then slaps his face because he moved. With his father standing by but not interfering, she asks Dave whether he agrees with his father that she treats Dave badly. He does not know whether he is allowed to respond. His father says that is no way to treat him, but his mother will not let go of his ear. She refers to Dave as “It” and tells him to get out of the house. His parents start to argue, with his father trying to defend him and tell his wife that she is wrong. She opens the front door and tells Dave he can leave if he thinks she treats him badly. He sees this as a chance to escape and he steps out of the door. His mother sneers that he will be back.

What do you think Woolf means in paragraph 5 when she asserts that “a novelist's chief desire is to be as unconscious as possibl
ELEN [110]

Woolf spoke this statement, as he believes that consciences get in the way of creativity and the writing process.

<h3>Why does Woolf believe this?</h3>
  • To Woolf, unconsciousness is essential for writing.
  • This is because she believes that conscience causes the reality, that the writer lives, to interfere in his/her texts.
  • Thus, unconsciousness allows the writer to have great creativity, without letting anything interfere in his creation process, managing to compose efficient and meaningful texts.

With this kind of explanation, the reader can conclude that Woolf is correct since unconsciousness stimulates creativity. However, some texts reflect the real society and discuss relevant issues of reality, therefore, the conscience of its writers is necessary.

How does art help readers understand the temple?
Lina20 [59]

Jack M. Lyon gives a beautiful presentation to the depths of his new book titled "Understanding Temple Symbols Through Scripture, History, and Art."

Taking sacred themes from the design, construction and presentation of holy temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Lyon explores constructs and concepts of these scriptural symbols most respectfully through the lenses of history and art.

The book is full of gorgeous reproductions of ancient art, creating a stunning collection showcased between prophetic and scriptural quotes that draw the reader in toward new depths of understanding.

Lyon, a prolific author and a previous managing editor at Deseret Book, has presented a wealth of information for the mind and the spirit with this tool of temple thoughts. Organized by theme, the book is structured to cover preparation for the temple, the creation, the trees of life and knowledge, the mortal world, ordinances of the temple, and promises yet to be fulfilled. The prologue sets the tone as one of pondering, and the epilogue brings the reader full circle back to application in modern culture.

"Understanding Temple Symbols" works for those who want an in-depth academic analysis or their temple experiences to be enlightened further. The simple teachings of the temple make the book an easy read, while the historical references included with artwork and photographs could leave the reader busy for hours within its pages and pondering once the book is set aside.

Clearly, a culmination of Lyon's study process is well-documented through his previous publications as well as his editorial work on volumes by Hugh Nibley and "The Papers of Joseph Smith," "Understanding Temple Symbols" is a profound work of art and powerful in its own right. this is how i get to understand the temple
