After reading the passage about Tantalus, we can conclude the following about him:

Tantalus most likely wished he had friends.

<h3>Who is Tantalus?</h3>
  • Tantalus is a Greek mythology character. As a matter of fact, it is from his name that the verb "tantalize" is derived. Tantalus was the son of the god Zeus with a nymph and, for that reason, he was friends with the gods and allowed in heaven.
  • However, Tantalus used his access to heaven to sin against the gods. He stole nectar and ambrosia from them to give to humans. He also killed his own son and served him for the gods to eat to test the gods.
  • For that reason, he was punished by being imprisoned in Hades, a mythological hell, where he could not reach the water and the food that were right in front of him.

<h3>What can we infer from the passage?</h3>
  • The passage says that the night Tantalus spent with fellow mortals was glorious. He was happy because he felt as if he had actual friends. With that piece of information, we can infer that Tantalus wished he has friends, that he craved this sort of intimacy with other mortals.

Write a prepared speech on topic: Teenagers no longer treasure their cultural heritage​
svet-max [94.6K]

Explanation:

Teenagers may not treasure their cultural heritage because of the fact that people don't recognize it. Lots of teenagers want to educate people on their culture, but the reason that some teenagers don't treasure their heritage is because people don't listen to them. I feel, personally, that if more people were educated on the more diverse cultures, teenagers would be more open about their culture and heritage.

 Another reason that teenagers wouldn't treasure their heritage is because of the reactions they would get. In every place you go to, there is always going to be someone who puts you down for something out of your control, like culture. People may start making fun of you for your culture, and may also start stereotyping you. This may cause teenagers to feel insecure about their culture, causing them to be more secluded about it.
