The purpose for including the affair was to have character development in the story. Abigail was willing to do anything, including the attempt to try and kill Goody Proctor in order to obtain John. This also made the foundation of Abigail, Goody Proctor, and John and how they were all significant in story development. If the writer had left of the detail of the affair, we wouldn't know why Abigail was trying to get rid of Elizabeth unless we made blind assumptions.

drek231 [11]

"Yes, all those points are true about Shakespeare, but most of them  are true of other authors as well" (B) is the comment that best illustrates the technique of drawing  comparisons during a discussion.

By doing so, the speaker is also giving his opinion on the comparison: he thinks Shakespeare and the other authors are alike in some aspects.

What does the dialogue reveal about Rosetta?
TiliK225 [7]

Answer: She feels confident about continuing on to Kans.

Explanation:

This is the correct answer because, in the end, she is saying that "Hmmph. Well, we've come this far. We'll just have to  go on without him."

She feels confident about it even though she does not know how to get there without the gu( that is why the second statement is false). She does not want to return to Louisiana with her family, she wants to continue the journey and that is why the first statement is also false.

The third statement is false because she is not angry at Nate, she is angry at the guru because he stole their money and disappear.

Write a compare-and-contrast analysis of how culture shapes the heroes in Heart of a Samurai and Black Ships Before Troy.
aliina [53]

Answer:

The culture in "Black Ships Before Troy" caused a hero to be seen as a traitor, while in "Heart of a Samurai" the culture almost prevented a hero from appearing.

Explanation:

"Black Ships Before Troy" presents a people with a culture very based on religion, where they believed that all the events that happened were due to the action of the gods. Good events were because the gods were happy, while bad events were caused by the wrath of the gods. In this case, when a hero tried to stop the horse sent to Troy and ended up dying before completing his mission, he was seen as a traitor who was rebuked by the gods.

In contrast, "Heart of a Samurai" shows how a boy who dreamed of being a samurai was prevented because his family was made up of fishermen and the culture said that young people should follow their parents' tragedy.
