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.

Marley was thrilled.

The description of Marley before this shows him leaping, spinning, running and pouncing. All of these are very energetic actions that show he is not just slightly happy. The speaker is using an understatement "Marley was a little excited" to emphasis how actually thrilled Marley was to play ball.

They imply that Myra is uncomfortably hot.

In the passage, the setting is described as noon on a sunny day in August. From this description we can infer that it is hot out. When Myra says, "This sun is cooking me," we can infer that she is in the hot sun and can feel the heat as though she is being cooked. She does not indicate that she is in pain or that she is unhappy.  It simply means that she is hot.

What primary element do “Young Goodman Brown” and “A Pair of Silk Stockings” share?
taurus [48]

I would argue that both short stories present characters (Goodman Brown and Mrs. Sommers, respectively) that are weary of their current lives and, ideally, would like to be able to escape. Goodman Brown is losing his faith in his wife, his community and his religion, and Mrs. Sommers would prefer to focus on her and on her needs rather than on her children.
