Read the excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone by James Cross Giblin.
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

Through Akerblad’s actions, Giblin shows him as someone whose confidence eventually stood in the way of his success.

Explanation:

James Cross Giblin's work <em>The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone</em> is a historical work on the deciphered work of the Rosetta Stone that was discovered in Memphis. This historical stone laid the foundation for the understanding of the Egyptian language and scripts.

The given passage talks about Johan Akerblad, a Swedish student studying under Silvestre de Sacy. The passage details how his previous successes led him to make a mistake while deciphering the Stone. Through his actions, Giblin presents him as someone whose confidence in always succeeding led him to be adamant, thus obstructing him in the way of successfully deciphering the hieroglyphic. He made a mistake in claiming that the demotic hieroglyphic is alphabetic, leading to <em>"no further progress in deciphering the demotic passage on the Stone". </em>

What is the difference between a major and a minor character?
sashaice [31]

The correct answer is B. A major character plays a big role in the plot, while a minor character has a less important storyline.

Explanation:

In literature, a character refers to any person or even animal or entity that is part of a story in novels, short stories, and other narratives. Additionally, characters can be classified according to their role in the development of the plot and their features; in general terms, characters can be major or minor. Major characters are three-dimensional characters or complex ones including the protagonist of the story and other characters important character in which the story focus and who play an important role as their actions developed the plot. On the other hand, minor characters are only defined through a few features and mainly support the actions of major characters or serve as background or scenario in the story. This means, opposite to major characters minor characters do not have an important necessary role in the plot or story. Thus, the main difference between major a minor characters is that major characters play a big role in the plot as their actions developed it and they are the focus of the story, while minor characters have a less important storyline as they just support the actions in the story but do not develop the plot or change during it.

tia_tia [17]
Bradbury is trying to show how this society is constantly bombarded with media. In this case, it's advertisements pounding them into a passive state. No one on the train is talking or interacting. They are just sitting listening to the advertisement like they are being brainwashed into buying denham's dentifrice. In contrast to this Montag is trying to read a passage from the Bible about letting go of material things (including Denham's dentifrice). This juxtaposition between the natural world and materialism further shows how society is so wrapped up in media that they are unaware of the world around them.
