To what does she compare rituals?in the story rituals of metaphor

1 answer:

6 0

In an extended and well-developed metaphor, Blaeser compares the rituals to a loop. In the first paragraph, it is the loops of curly hair that can't ever be brushed and tamed. Any attempt at doing that will cause pain, and fingers can't go through them without getting stuck. She then proceeds to explain that "family, place, and community" are the loop of our identity. We can't get hold of it, we can't unravel it, but we will always be compelled to return to it. They constitute our private "rituals of memory". Those rituals are connected, repeated, and intertwined just like braids of curly hair. If we were to cut them, we would destroy our own identity.

"Echo by her talk contrived to detain the goddess till the nymphs made their escape. When Juno [Hera] discovered it, she passed

noname [10]

Answer:

A. thought that silence is golden.

Explanation:

In this passage from Story of Echo and Narcissus, Echo faces the sentence of not being able to speak because of her constant talking and saying last word in conversations. The goddess Juno did not over talkative habit of Echo. Since it is a Greek myth, and myths represent the concerned culture's values, we can infer from this that Ancient Greek thought that silence is golden.

In Greek myth "Echo and Narcissus" is a tragic story of Echo and Narcissus. It is also found in Ovid's book of poetry (Metamorphoses). Echo is a nymph which annoys Juno (Hera) by detaining her by her talk when she (Juno) was searching for her husband who was amusing himself with the nymphs. When Juno discovers this, she passes sentence upon Echo that she will not be able to talk/speak, but she will only be able to utter last word of someone else's speech. The story next describes about Narcissus's indifference to Echo only because of her inability to speak. And later Narcissus too (unknowingly) falls in love of his own reflection in the story. The bodies of both Echo and Narcissus dissolve because of not finding the love from their beloved ones.

The options B and C are not relevant to this passage, nor to this story. Option D is totally incorrect because they did believe in their myths.
