Answer:

One theme in Flannery O'Connor's "Everything that Rises Must Converge" is:

A. looks can be deceiving.

Explanation:

In the short story "Everything that Rises Must Converge," several themes can be found. <u>Among them, one of the main themes is that looks can be deceiving. The following passage from the story is evidence of that:</u>

<u>"She was one of the few members of the Y reducing class who arrived in hat and gloves and who had a son who had been to college."</u>

The main characters are J.ulian and his mother, and none of them is what they seem to be. <u>J.ulian, for instance, has convinced himself that he is modern, open-minded, and thoughtful; he has also told himself that his mother is his complete opposite - a narrow-minded, prejudiced person. He is angry at her for the importance she places on appearances.</u>

<u>However, as the story unfolds, we realize J.ulian is also prejudiced and narrow-minded when it comes to his mother. And he too cares about what others think of him</u>. His mother, on the other hand, has her flaws and limitations, but is revealed to have a good heart. <u>Their looks and their behaviors are deceiving, not showing their true selves. </u>

<u />

Note: Some words starting with j and u are forbidden by Brainly. That is why I had to type J.ulian like this.

The Myth of Theseus: Hero and Adventurer - Section C Imaginative writing practice
vitfil [10]

Answer:

I don't know if this is a story that you make up, but here you go:

It was years later after Theseus became king. He was noble and wise; caring for his people with such wisdom and power. Everyone admired his cunning character. All except King Minos of Crete, who was outraged to have his daughter married to Theseus without his permission. Not only that, but his tribute over the death of his son hadn't been payed for years.

"I must find a way to kill of Theseus!" he muttered to himself one lonely afternoon. "And once I do, I could take over his land and rule it myself!"

The details played in his mind all night. At last, he ordered his soldiers ready for battle. Having hundreds of his best men onto large, wooden ships to take over the land for their king.

Theseus, as strong and wise he was, was not prepared for this. His people were screaming in the streets of the grand city. Children and women alike were slaughtered without mercy. Outraged, Theseus ordered his soldiers to help defend the city. He himself dressed up in armor to assist his warriors. For those who were not able to fight and had children, were ordered to take shelter in the castle.

Came the moment Theseus confronted King Minos, he demanded, "What is the meaning of this open rebellion?"

"I have come to take revenge on you for taking my daughter from me," King Minos announced. "She was my dearest treasure, and you have taken it from me. I demand she be send back to me."

"You don't deserve her," Theseus snapped.

Minos roared in sudden, raw rage. "Then I will have your head!"

The two kings lashed out. Battle around them was raging; the streets were in chaos. The war lasted for almost an entire day. Theseus and Minos had begun to battle near the rocky cliffs by the shore. They were tired and sore, yes. But neither of them were too keen on giving up fighting for what they cared for dearly. Theseus, however, had an advantage. Aside from his courage and wisdom, he was  much stronger and younger than King Minos. The wheels in his mind began to turn.

They were both near the edge of the cliff when Theseus spoke out: "Alas, there she is! In the water!"

Minos spun around, terrified for his daughter. But no, there was nothing there. Theseus kicked his foe with enough force and power to send King Minos over the edge, sending him to his death. With him now gone, the battle had ended. And there was no one else who dared face Theseus's wrath ever again.

THE END

All it takes is just a bit of creativity. I hope this helps :)

The answer to the question is to entertain friends.

If you read the passage, you can see that the text is informal. If addressing people of authority or with a professional stature, you would use a more formal speech. The word "bunch," is a clue that makes the text informal. So this would not be for a potential employer, college professor or to convince the school board.
