The line demonstrating the use of an understatement is the following:
<em><u>BOB (still looking out—looks up): Still all right up above, though. </u></em>
Having read the previous lines, the reader gets the sense that the situation is critical, the water is rising and it has already flooded the whole lower part of the hotel. However, Bob wants to diminish the emergency of the situation by stating that the upper part still looks alright meaning that the extent of the damage is not as great as Ed says.
Answer:
I do believe graffiti should be illegal.
Explanation:
The official definition of graffiti is, "writing or drawings scribbled, scratched, or sprayed illicitly on a wall or other surface in a public place". Meaning that graffiti is a form of vandalism. And because vandalism is illegal, I don't think any other forms of it should be considered 'ok'. That is my opinion on the subject. Note my 'opinion'.
Answer:
Greek men often consulted the help of an <u><em>oracle</em></u> when trying to understand the wishes of a god or goddess.
Explanation:
An oracle is a priest or priestess who would be the medium through which ancient Greeks communicate with their gods and goddesses. These oracles are like the priests of modern days who would act as the intermediary between men and gods.
Oracles are a huge part of Greek society and life. Kings would consult with such oracles for each and every endeavor, be it war or marriage or business plans. One such oracle was the Oracle of Delphi, of the Delphi temple.
