Snezhnost [94]

The answer is: Her mother's image of the great man did not match reality.

In the excerpt from "A Genetics of Justice," the author Julia Alvarez claims her mother did not know about the horrific atrocities of dictatorship Trujillo in the Dominican Republic. One of the reasons is her parents were too afraid to mention anything contrary to the system to protect her children. As a result, when she was a child, Alvarez's mother must have thought Trujillo was a film star and might have wished to meet him.

Explain the two theological problems of Canto IV and how Dante addresses them. Your answer should be at least one hundred words.
Iteru [2.4K]
In Canto IV, Dante is informed of how people who lived before the time of Jesus Christ are forced to spend the rest of their eternal after lives. He is told that they are stuck in limbo, and cannot be pulled from their grueling state. Dante weeps because he realizes it is unfair; those people did not have the option to follow Jesus Christ and be baptised into christianity.
