The following excerpt from "The Tragic Hero: From Oedipus to Batman" implies that the character Macbeth is similar to the charac

ter Oedipus in Oedipus the King by Sophocles. Earlier in the story, he gets in a fight with a man riding a chariot, which ends in the man's death. Oedipus doesn't know it, but the stranger he kills is King Laius of Thebes. What Oedipus also doesn't know is that King Laius is his father. You see, Oedipus was abandoned as a baby and grew up in a different city, never knowing his parents. In fact, once he makes it to Thebes, the people are so thankful the Sphinx is gone that they decide to make him king, so he marries Queen Jocasta, who just happens to be his mother. In your response, argue that Macbeth's tragic hero status is actually different from Oedipus's

Both Macbeth and Oedipus are tragic heroes, as they are characters who have a generally good disposition, with the exception of one flaw that leads to their demise. In this sense, Macbeth and Oedipus are similar. They are also similar in the fact that fate is a strong force in their destiny.

However, Macbeth and Oedipus are also very different. One of the main differences between these two characters is the fact that Macbeth is aware of his actions, and how immoral they are. Macbeth is willing to kill and deceive in order to achieve power, and although he ends up as full of guilt as Oedipus, he was aware of the risks he was taking. Oedipus, on the other hand, is unaware of the risks he is taking and the complications of his life until the very end. Moreover, throughout the play, he is moved by a desire to act morally, which is very different from Macbeth's motivations.

Two parts of a proverb​
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

Proverbs are popular sayings which contain advice or state a generally accepted truth. Most proverbs have their origins in oral tradition, they are generally worded in such a way as to be remembered easily and tend to change little from generation to generation, so much so that sometimes their specific meaning is no longer relevant. For instance, the proverb “penny wise, pound foolish” is a holdover from when America was a British colony and used the pound as currency. Proverbs function as “folk wisdom,” general advice about how to act and live, and because they are folk wisdom, they are often strongly reflect the cultural values and physical environment from which they arise. Proverbs are used to support arguments, to provide lessons and instruction, and to stress shared values.

Kaylis [27]

Which of these statements from Walking with the Wind: A Memoir of the Movement by John Lewis is an implicitly stated opinion on the nation's state of affairs during the civil rights movement?

A. I've said this many times: If he had been born in another time, in another place, or of another race, A. Philip Randolph would have been a prime minister, or a president, or a king.

B. The movement had a goal of an integrated society, an interracial democracy, a Beloved Community. What Malcolm X represented were the seeds of something different, something that would eventually creep into the movement itself and split it apart.

C. He was the undisputed leader, the undisputed symbol of what the movement had come to, at least at that point in time. His very presence spoke for itself.

D. There was a tremendous need then, and there remains a need today, for someone to take hold of the urban centers in the North and give them that sense of direction.
