Answer:

B.Mystery and suspense

Explanation:

We can hear the noise made by a shovel while someone , Lester, was digging a grave in the writing. We get more details of this setting; we learn that the grave was deep  and  it had not been covered by grass yet , which makes us feel as if we were inside it . This atmosphere of mystery and suspense gets sharper when we learn that an old man was being buried but,later, it would be unearthed .

The only thing i could think about when i was laying on the ground with my eyse closed was "will i be able to come out?' it started with imaginging i was laying on the beach with the sun on my face and skin but took a sudden turn when my mind couldnt shut off about my sad place, my sad place brought me to when i imagined i was in a basement in the cold and damp and the only poeple that visited me was the peopel who came to laugh at me as my misery gave them misery, on the count of three i suddenly came out of my sad place but was in tears. when going around the room my teacher asked if i got to my happy place and the only words i could get out through my throbbing throat was ' i couldnt come out"

Dear Diary,

It is interesting how life is full of surprises and we can find satisfaction and happiness in situations that we have not planned. It is even more interesting when that satisfaction and happiness is generated when we help other people. I did not imagine that relieving, even a little, the suffering of others would do so much good for my soul and my spirit leaving me so satisfied with myself.

I have always thought that I would only find happiness in actions aimed at my own satisfaction, but by helping a beggar and allowing him to have a little satisfaction in his difficult life journey, I was happy. I liked to take some of the difficulties that the beggar goes through and give him a little comfort generated comfort for me too.

I was also fully happy, excited and full when adopting a pet cat. Knowing that this animal will have a home to protect it and that it will no longer be hungry and thirsty or mistreated, fills my soul with joy.

I intend to do good deeds frequently, because I want to feel this feeling forever, in addition to contributing to the happiness of others.

How do Penelope’s actions help develop the theme of loyalty in the Odyssey?
anzhelika [568]
<span>She does not marry one of the suitors.

Even though Odysseus has been gone for all of his son's childhood and many have declared him dead, Penelope stays loyal to him and refuses to marry one of the suitors.

She does allow the suitors into her home as part of their social culture. She delays the suitors advances with various excuses. She says she will not choose one until she has weaving the burial shroud, but she unravels the shroud at night to make it take longer. She also puts the suitors to a test. When they learn of this, they demand she choose one immediately. She tells them she will marry whoever can shoot an arrow through the ax handles. Odysseus returns home in disguise and succeeds in shooting the arrow before revealing his true identity.
