Christian wrote his version of a myth about Daphne and Apollo for his English assignment.
Read this excerpt from the draft of Christian’s introduction and answer the question.

In the warm Mediterranean lands there grows a wild evergreen with aromatic leaves, known as the bay tree. In ancient Greece the bay was sacred to Apollo, god of music and poetry, the most famous of the sons of Zeus. The bay was his first love, a love he never forgot, wearing a garland of bay leaves in its memory. But why should a god love a tree? It came about like this.

One day Apollo was feeling particularly pleased. He was then still a young, untried god and had performed his first glorious deed. He had slain a horrifying monster called the Python, a serpent whose poisonous body had covered an entire hillside. It had required a thousand arrows to kill it. Later he became known as the god of archery—besides being a musician and poet, a god of healing, and one who foretold the future.

Which statement best explains what Christian’s revision accomplishes as compared to the myth "Daphne and Apollo—Getting What We Ask For or What We Deserve"?

While many characters are later introduced, Christian’s revision is written so that readers understand the story’s connection to the bay tree.
Christian’s revision gives readers the opportunity to know both Apollo and Eros equally well because the narration is third person omniscient in which readers to know the feelings of all characters equally.
While both versions are told from an omniscient point of view, Christian’s version focuses readers’ attention on Apollo and the fore shadowing of the conclusion.
Christian’s revision of this ancient myth prevents readers from having to take sides between two male characters which lessens the conflict and thus weakens the plot’s development.

Answers

Answer:

While both versions are told from an omniscient point of view, Christian’s version focuses readers’ attention on Apollo and the fore shadowing of the conclusion.

Explanation:

When we read Christian's introduction, it is clear that he focuses the reader's attention on Apollo, he told us about the bay tree and then he explains Apollo's role as a god and he told us the most important characteristics he had, for example: as became known as the god of archery, being a musician and poet, god of healing and one who foretold the future. He doesn't talk about Eros or Daphne that are the main characters with Apollo in the myth: "Daphne and Apollo—Getting What We Ask For or What We Deserve"? He also told us facts that later show the conclusion as Daphne turns into a Bay tree and Apollo always wore Bay leaves in Daphne's memory at the beginning of the introduction.

Final answer:

Christian's version of the 'Daphne and Apollo' myth focuses and emphasizes Apollo's relationship with the bay tree. It uses the tree as a significant feature in foreshadowing the story's conclusion.

Explanation:

Christian's revision of the myth 'Daphne and Apollo—Getting What We Ask For or What We Deserve,' accomplishes a distinct vision by steering the reader's attention towards the premeditated foreshadowing of the conclusion. It significantly focuses on the character of Apollo and his relationship with the bay tree, thereby creating a direct link between the tree and the story. This version emphasizes the genesis of Apollo's love towards the bay tree and underlines this ordeal's significance, displaying this tree as his first love. Thus, it allows the readers to grasp the more profound interpretations of the narrative from the start as it elucidates the saga's destined culmination rooted in Apollo's first love. This approach may lead to a more compelling connection for readers who appreciate narratives with predictive elements.

. . I entered the cabin where lay the remains of my ill-fated and admirable friend. Over him hung a form which I cannot find words to describe — gigantic in stature, yet uncouth and distorted in its proportions. . . .

He paused, looking on me with wonder, and again turning towards the lifeless form of his creator, he seemed to forget my presence, and every feature and gesture seemed instigated by the wildest rage of some uncontrollable passion.

"That is also my victim!" he exclaimed. . . . "Oh, Frankenstein! Generous and self-devoted being! What does it avail that I now ask thee to pardon me? I, who irretrievably destroyed thee by destroying all thou lovedst. Alas! He is cold, he cannot answer me." . . .

"Your repentance," I said, "is now superfluous. If you had listened to the voice of conscience and heeded the stings of remorse before you had urged your diabolical vengeance to this extremity, Frankenstein would yet have lived."

"And do you dream?" said the daemon. "Do you think that I was then dead to agony and remorse? . . . After the murder of Clerval I returned to Switzerland, heart-broken and overcome. I pitied Frankenstein; my pity amounted to horror; I abhorred myself. But when I discovered that he, the author at once of my existence and of its unspeakable torments, dared to hope for happiness, that while he accumulated wretchedness and despair upon me he sought his own enjoyment in feelings and passions from the indulgence of which I was forever barred, then impotent envy and bitter indignation filled me with an insatiable thirst for vengeance. . . . I had cast off all feeling, subdued all anguish, to riot in the excess of my despair. Evil thenceforth became my good. Urged thus far, I had no choice but to adapt my nature to an element which I had willingly chosen. . . ."


Whats going on in the passage

Answers

Answer:

I believe, put simply, Frankenstein has been killed by his monster. His friend, whose name cannot be derived from the passage, has found Frankenstein's corpse and Frankenstein's monster above him. Frankenstein's monster seems remorseful about killing their creator. However, the 'friend' is basically saying 'Bro, if you had just listened to your gut and your conscience, my dude, Frankenstein would still be alive'. What happened after is a bit murky, but basically, Frankenstein's monster is like,

'Do you dream? Do you think I don't feel hurt and guilt? After the murder of Clerval, I went off to Switzerland, feeling down. I felt bad for Frankenstein, then it turned to horror. I felt disgusted about myself. But then I found out that Frankenstein, the guy who made me and all of my problems, wanted to be happy. While he made my life horrible and piled torments on me, he tried to find happiness in the things I couldn't experience. Then I became angry, and I wanted revenge. I put aside my problems and adapted to the way I had chosen to feel...'

This is still a bit off, and it might not solve the entire problem, but I hope it clears up a few things??

In the passage Frankenstein has just been killed and his creator is mourning over the loss of his creation. It's been awhile since I've read this book but I hope this helps you.

Final answer:

The words spoken by the chorus in a play are referred to as choral speeches or choruses. The chorus typically comments on the play's main action, provides exposition, or expresses communal values and ideals.

Explanation:

In the context of drama and theater, the words spoken by the chorus are often referred to as choral speeches or choruses. The role of the chorus is traditionally to comment on the main action of the play, provide exposition, or express the communal values and ideals that affect the action of the play. For example, in the classical Greek drama, the chorus played an integral part in the narrative, sometimes acting as a character, sometimes as the voice of society or collective wisdom, and sometimes representing abstract concepts or moral values.

from Walden
by Henry David Thoreau
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practise resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms, and, if it proved to be mean, why then to get the whole and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world; or if it were sublime, to know it by experience, and be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion. For most men, it appears to me, are in a strange uncertainty about it, whether it is of the devil or of God, and have somewhat hastily concluded that it is the chief end of man here to “glorify God and enjoy him forever.”
Still we live meanly, like ants; though the fable tells us that we were long ago changed into men; like pygmies we fight with cranes; it is error upon error, and clout upon clout, and our best virtue has for its occasion a superfluous and evitable wretchedness. Our life is frittered away by detail. An honest man has hardly need to count more than his ten fingers, or in extreme cases he may add his ten toes, and lump the rest. Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity! I say, let your affairs be as two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand; instead of a million count half a dozen, and keep your accounts on your thumb-nail. In the midst of this chopping sea of civilized life, such are the clouds and storms and quicksands and thousand-and-one items to be allowed for, that a man has to live, if he would not founder and go to the bottom and not make his port at all, by dead reckoning, and he must be a great calculator indeed who succeeds. Simplify, simplify. Instead of three meals a day, if it be necessary eat but one; instead of a hundred dishes, five; and reduce other things in proportion. Our life is like a German Confederacy, made up of petty states, with its boundary forever fluctuating, so that even a German cannot tell you how it is bounded at any moment. The nation itself, with all its so-called internal improvements, which, by the way are all external and superficial, is just such an unwieldy and overgrown establishment, cluttered with furniture and tripped up by its own traps, ruined by luxury and heedless expense, by want of calculation and a worthy aim, as the million households in the land; and the only cure for it, as for them, is in a rigid economy, a stern and more than Spartan simplicity of life and elevation of purpose. It lives too fast. Men think that it is essential that the Nation have commerce, and export ice, and talk through a telegraph, and ride thirty miles an hour, without a doubt, whether they do or not; but whether we should live like baboons or like men, is a little uncertain. If we do not get out sleepers, and forge rails, and devote days and nights to the work, but go to tinkering upon our lives to improve them, who will build railroads? And if railroads are not built, how shall we get to heaven in season? But if we stay at home and mind our business, who will want railroads? We do not ride on the railroad; it rides upon us. Did you ever think what those sleepers are that underlie the railroad? Each one is a man, an Irishman, or a Yankee man. The rails are laid on them, and they are covered with sand, and the cars run smoothly over them. They are sound sleepers, I assure you. And every few years a new lot is laid down and run over; so that, if some have the pleasure of riding on a rail, others have the misfortune to be ridden upon. And when they run over a man that is walking in his sleep, a supernumerary sleeper in the wrong position, and wake him up, they suddenly stop the cars, and make a hue and cry about it, as if this were an exception. I am glad to know that it takes a gang of men for every five miles to keep the sleepers down and level in their beds as it is, for this is a sign that they may sometime get up again.

Thoreau's Walden reflects a contemplative and critical tone towards society's direction. Through figurative language and purposeful phrasing, Thoreau articulates his desire for a life of simplicity and purpose, denouncing societal complexities and superficialities.

Explanation:

In Thoreau's Walden, the narrator reveals a distinctively introspective and contemplative tone. Thoreau utilizes various forms of figurative language to convey this tone, such as his metaphoric designation of non-essential facts of life as 'overgrown establishment, cluttered with furniture'. His call to 'Simplify, simplify' suggests a desire for a more essential, deliberate mode of living, rejecting societal complexities. Thoreau's tone is critical and rebellious, as he criticizes society's pace, which 'lives too fast', and the lack of purpose cultivated in a life cluttered with superficiality.

Final answer:

Thoreau's language and use of figurative expressions reveal a contemplative and critical attitude in the passage from Walden. He emphasizes the value of simplicity and critiques society's fast-paced lifestyle and lack of reflection on the real essence of life.

Explanation:

In the passage from

Walden

by Henry David Thoreau, the narrator's attitude is mainly contemplative and critical. Thoreau's language and use of figurative expressions such as 'living is so dear', 'cut a broad swath', and 'life is frittered away by detail' depict his deep contemplation about the essence of life and his criticism of the common, unreflective way of living.

The reiteration of the word ‘simplify’ reinforces Thoreau's criticism towards a complex, detail-focussed lifestyle. The narrator emphasizes the value of leading a simpler, more thoughtful life. He uses the metaphor of the railroad and ‘sleepers’ beneath them to critically evaluate society's tendency to blindly adhere to fast-paced development, overworking without reflecting on the purpose or meaning of life.

The tone conveyed through Thoreau's use of language in the text is a combination of introspection, admonition, and a slight cynicism towards society's values. In conclusion, Thoreau's descriptive and figurative language in this excerpt from Walden underscores the narrator's critical and contemplative attitude towards life and society's norms.

Answers

In The Golden Cat the tone used by the poet is on a reserved nature as though to show how important the cat is to man, without any form of command or stance. It also helps the reader have an interest as it appears constructed. On the other hand, The Cat and the Moon uses a descriptive tone in its delivery.

How does the tone of the two poems differ? "The Cat and the Moon" has a serious and mysterious tone, while "The Golden Cat" has a happy and regal tone. "The Cat and the Moon" has a distant and angry tone, while "The Golden Cat" has fast-paced, excited tone.

a argument on why Pro Sport players should get paid for playing sports .​

Answers

Okay well, me personally i think that they should because they are in some sports risking their lives and in others bringing a form of entertainment to all BUT on the other hand some people believe otherwise because they really dont seem to benefit a purpose.

Proponents of the Fair Pay to Play Act argue that it corrects inequities by allowing athletes to profit from their contributions to sports revenue, while opponents believe it undermines the amateur nature of college sports and could create recruiting disparities

Arguments for and Against Fair Pay to Play Act

The debate on whether Pro Sport players should be paid, and specifically on the Fair Pay to Play Act, is rooted in concerns over equity and the nature of college sports. Proponents argue that college athletes should be compensated because they generate significant revenue for their schools, coaches, and television networks, yet they are unable to seek employment due to the demands of their schedules. This group includes notable figures such as LeBron James, Draymond Green, and Bernie Sanders, who see the act as a remedy for the inequities in college sports. Opponents, like the NCAA, believe that compensating college athletes compromises the amateur status of college sports and could give certain states an unfair advantage in recruiting. Additionally, they fear that it would further blur the lines between amateur and professional sports. The Fair Pay to Play Act, passed in California and set to go into effect in 2023, allows student athletes to profit from their names, images, and likenesses, which is a shift from previous NCAA regulations. If one believes that student athletes have a right to benefit from their personal brand and the revenue they help to generate, they would likely vote to adopt this law. Conversely, if they believe that such a change would disrupt the traditional amateurism of college sports or lead to uneven playing fields among states, they may vote to reject it.

nonexistent ~ not existing or not real or present.

abundance ~ a very large quantity of something.

Explanation:

Final answer:

The statement 'if something is nonexistent, it is available in abundance' is false. Nonexistent refers to something that does not exist or is not present, so it can't be available in abundance.

Explanation:

The statement 'if something is nonexistent it is available in abundance' is false. The term nonexistent refers to something that does not exist, meaning it is not present at all, let alone in abundance. For example, unicorns can be considered nonexistent because there is no factual evidence of their presence in our world. Therefore, we cannot say that unicorns are available in abundance. This is a fundamental principle of understanding the difference between existence and nonexistence.

Answer:

C. The speaker also states that the wind is "moving everywhere" and "shall blow / her clarion o'er the dreaming earth," using personification that infuses the wind with lifelike traits and qualities.

According to the video, The Life Cycle of a Plastic Bottle, marine animals are impacted by ocean plastic because: people leave soda in the plastic bottles b) when they eat the plastic it makes them feel full and they can starve c) it takes up space in their natural habitat d) it kills their food

Answers

Answer:

b) when they eat the plastic it makes them feel full and they can starve

Explanation:

According to the video "The Life Cycle of a Plastic Bottle" marine creatures such as dolphins, whales, turtles, seabirds and plenty of other animals are in danger when they eat plastic bottles because the plastic cannot be digested nor passed by in their organisms so they feel full and of course sick, they do not eat anything else and they have a slow and painful death.

Final answer:

Ocean plastic pollution impacts marine animals by taking up space in their natural habitat and posing a threat to their survival and well-being.

Explanation:

The correct answer is (c) it takes up space in their natural habitat.

Ocean plastic pollution poses a significant threat to marine animals. When plastic bottles and other debris enter the ocean, they can accumulate and form large floating masses, known as garbage patches, which take up space in their natural habitat. Additionally, marine animals can become entangled in plastic or mistakenly ingest it, leading to injury or death.

For example, sea turtles often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, their prey. When these turtles eat plastic, it can lead to blockages in their digestive system, causing them to feel full and resulting in starvation. Similarly, plastic fragments can be mistaken as food by small fish and plankton, which are then consumed by larger animals, leading to the overall disruption of the marine food chain.
