1. Why is the windstorm significant in the development of the plot?

The windstorm is significant in the development of the plot because it became the main reason why the sentries<em> (guards)</em> were blinded while they were digging up the rotting body of<em> "Polynices." </em>

2. What explanation does the guard give for its cause?

The guard explained that "Antigone" is the culprit behind the illegal burial of Polynices (<em>Antigone's brother).</em> After the windstorm passed, the guards saw Antigone and she also saw them. The guards said <em>she then cursed them</em> and started burying the body again.

Explanation:

Antigone is a character is <em>Greek mythology</em>. She is the daughter of Oedipus and <em>Jocasta/Euryganeia. </em>

Antigone only wanted his brother to have a<em> respectable burial</em>. Thus, when she was asked by<em> Creon</em> whether she knew<u><em> it was forbidden to mourn for his brother,</em></u><u><em> </em></u>Antigone immediately admitted and said that she believes in the superiority of the divine law over the human law.

It isnt dark or sunny, because it clearly states "hidden in mist and cloud". So for a while i was between misty and cloudy. However I believe it is misty, because cloudy normally means that the sky is clouded, and in the passage it says that it is hidden. Now, i dont know about you, but clouds in the sky have never hidden anything but the sun from me. I think it means that it was as if there was a cloud on earth and that the cloud of mist hid where the men of winter live. Therefore, I believe the answer is the second choice, misty. Hope that helps! Please vote this answer the branliest, too! :)

what is the primary lesson that wiesel teaches us in night? choose specific characters and scenes which convey this lesson
meriva
Wiesel's primary purpose for teaching Night is to show the horrors of the Holocaust so that the world will never forget and make the same mistake again. In chapter one of the novel, Wiesel repeatedly shows how the citizens of Sighet ignored signs of the Nazi occupation. He explains how they downplayed what was happening to them when they were forced to wear the star and officers were quartered in their homes. He wants the world to remember how easily it is for atrocities to occur when people do nothing. When remembering his first night in camp, Wiesel writes, "Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, that turned my life into one long night seven times sealed. Never shall I forget that smoke. Never shall I forget the small faces of the children whose bodies I saw transformed into smoke under a silent sky...Never shall I forget those things, even were I condemned to live as long as God Himself. Never." The repetition of "Never shall I forget" pleads with the reader to remember as well as emphasizes the horrors. Remember the horrors of the Holocaust and never repeat them.
