Answer:

B. Ismene views Antigone as reckless and is reluctant to assist Antigone. Antigone wants Ismene to agree to help her without first knowing the plan.

Explanation:

In this Sophocles's play, Antigone, the protagonist, wishes to give her brother a proper burial, although the king forbade it, declaring that anyone who disobeys this will be sentenced to death.

Antigone, despite of this law, can't let her brother unburied and his body dragged around by animals, while Ismene is too afraid to break the law. This represents the basic conflict between the two sisters.

In these lines, we see that Ismene feels Antigone is up to something and by calling her rush, she knows it will be something reckless and driven by emotions.

Antigone, however, wants her sister to help her in her mission, before she reveals it, because she knows that Ismene would never accept it if she knew the plan.

In which line from this excerpt of John Keats's "Ode to Autumn" has the poet personified the season of autumn as a young maiden?

bekas [8.4K]

Probably the first line, "Thy hair soft-lifted by the winnowing wind..."
When I think of a "young maiden", I think of a girl with long, pretty hair. Keats describes just that in the first line. The other lines can be interpreted as anything, but aren't exactly like a young maiden.

In at least 150 words, discuss two ways in which Okonkwo increasingly finds himself to be an outsider when he returns to Umuofia

Reptile [31]

Okonkwo is gone from the village for seven years. When he returns, he expects that he can pick up where he left off. However, he finds that a lot has changed.

One major change is that the church has increased in power. As a result, the connections among the villagers themselves have weakened. Another major change is that the missionaries have implemented their own laws and government. As a result, their own customs are being left behind.

Okonkwo is shocked to find the power the missionaries have gained while he was gone. He is even more shocked that the villagers have allowed these changes to happen.
