Answer:
“By the Waters of Babylon” is set in a post-apocalyptic, post-technological world where people hunt for their food with bows and arrows and their priests scavenge the “Dead Places” for metal. John, the protagonist and first-person narrator, belongs to the tribe of the Hill People and is the son of a priest. The Hill People consider themselves culturally superior to the rival tribe of the Forest People, and live by dogmatic laws that, among other things, forbid them from traveling east, crossing the Ou-dis-son river, visiting the Place of the Gods (which was destroyed in “The Great Burning”), and saying the true name of the Place of the Gods.
John’s father and the other priests teach John reading, writing, healing, and “magic,” and John is fascinated by the stories about the gods. The story follows John on his initiation quest, a journey he undertakes in order to be recognized by his tribe as a man and a priest. John chooses the path of his journey based on visions and his reading of signs in the natural world. John’s desire for new knowledge leads him to break many of the laws of his tribe. He travels to the Place of the Gods, even though he is afraid that he will die there. Instead, he discovers that many of the stories about the Place of the Gods are inaccurate. The island is not filled with magical mists, the ground is not burning with eternal flames, nor is it populated by spirits and demons. Instead, John finds a vast Dead Place, a city of ruined towers. As he explores the city and learns more and more, John’s sense of fear diminishes.
Explanation:
Answer: Brabantio often invited Othello to his house, where he met Desdemona, and they fell in love.
Explanation:
Othello is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare. It is a story about a powerful general of the Venetian army who is utterly betrayed by his deceitful friend, Iago.
In Act I, Scene III, Desdemona's father, Brabantio, argues she has been stolen from him by spells. The duke thus demands that Othello tells the whole story about his marriage to Desdemona. Othello admits that they got married, but insists that he did not use magic to persuade her to be with him. On this occasion, Othello explains that Brabantio invited him to his house, where they discussed his battle stories and journeys outside the civilized world. Desdemona overheard those stories, and wanted Othello to retell them to her. Impressed by what he had to say, Desdemona fell in love with Othello.
Student drivers are required to keep a log of their supervised driving hours. However, not all students are diligent in their record-keeping.
The transition that should be used to combine these sentences is the following one: however. This adverb is used to introduce a statement that contrasts with or appears to contradict something that has been previously said. In this case, you are saying that student drivers should keep a written record of their supervised driving hours yet you are also stating that not all of them do it thoroughly and well.
