The correct options are:

  • to encourage his readers to lead virtuous lives
  • to define and explain the moral order of Christianity

The first part of the Divine Comedy, "Hell" describes how Dante is lost in a dark forest in his middle age and enters a cave at the foot of Mount Zion, near Jerusalem. Three allegorical animals come to him: a panther, a she-wolf and a lion. These animals represent the sins that can attack Dante. The panther represents lust and the city of Florence that has exiled him. The wolf is, according to the commentators, the sin of greed, and beyond this the temporal power of the Pope in Rome. The lion represents the pride, and the power of France, which sought to dominate Italy. Then the author's descent into Hell is narrated, accompanied by the Latin poet Virgil, author of the Aeneid, whom Dante admired, and who in the Middle Ages had a curious fame as a magician. Accompanied by his teacher and guide, he descends to Hell, which is shaped like a cone with the point down and the nine circles he possessed, in which the condemned are subject to punishment, according to the gravity of the sins committed in life. On the doors one can notice: "Lasciate ogni speranza, voi ch'entrate / Whoever enters here, abandon all hope". Then they go to the circle of limbo, where the innocent souls of those who worked well are found, but they did not know the message of Jesus Christ because they were born before him. These souls do not suffer, but they can not participate in Paradise. There he finds a group of five great poets, among whom he is accepted as the sixth.

Answer:

1) A nun looked at the narrator's house as if it were a terrible place to live.

2) She is the more carefree child, the one who has her own opinions.

  • She is using the wild description of her hair to imply that she is also wild. It wouldn't be choice B, because that's too literal; and C and D don't make sense.

3) She feels like her family is holding her back from opportunities and experiences.

  • If she had stopped with the balloon, it would have been a happy metaphor. But a balloon tied to an anchor? Can't fly, can't go anywhere with the anchor holding it down.

4) She and Nenny's laughter is loud and grabs the attention of anyone nearby.

  • She's contrasting it with Rachel and Lucy. It's not orthodox, it's carefree and noisy.

5) She feels ashamed that she and Nenny have no money to buy anything.

  • Nenny asks how much the music box is, but Gil doesn't even offer it because he knows they don't have any money. Esperanza knows, though.

6) She wishes she had a different name than Esperanza.

  • The author is contrasting the two worlds, the hispanic and american, that they live between. Her name is hard to pronounce, and she connects it with sadness and longing.

denis-greek [22]

The two ways in which the dramatic tensions are expressed in the way of humor and suspense

In considering the trail scene most of the trail scene is suspenseful and it was the scene that people have been waiting for so long. The mood is very suspenseful and tensed about the testimony of the crime scene. When the trail continues for a long time it is very difficult to maintain the suspenseful mood.
