A theme that Geoffrey Chaucer develops through these two excerpts is that of treachery, since both King Peter of Spain and King Peter of Cyprus were betrayed and their lives ended tragically. King Peter of Spain was betrayed by a man named Bertrand, who had agreed to protect him in exchange for a great compensation, but who eventually handed him over to his half-brother, Henry, who promised him an even greater reward and who assassinated Peter in his tent in 1369, becoming the new king. This is narrated in the excerpt, where Bertrand is compared not with Oliver of Charlemagne, friend of Charlemagne, but with the knight that betrayed him ("No, Oliver of Charlemagne... such a trap!").
Peter I of Cyprus devoting his short yet intense life to fight Islam, and he led the short yet devastating Alexandrian Crusade, but his life ended abruptly. Betrayed by his wife and by some of his closer knights, he was assassinated in his bed also in 1369. This is also referred in the poem ("That conquered Alexandria... on thy bed!").
To sum up, both excerpts revolve around this theme, which they present very similarly: after emphasizing the deeds of the two historical characters, they finalize by regretting their tragic endings.
Answer: Relationships between the Europeans and American Indians turned hostile, and rights were one by one stripped away from American Indians.
This is the sentence that best describes the conflict that the author develops in the text because it is the one that includes all the details that follow.
The fact that the Europeans arrive to America, that they created the<em> Indian Removal Act </em>and that American Indian activists continue to fight for equal recognition all come from the fact that the conflict between Europeans and American Indians was hostile, and that Europeans stripped away the rights of the American Indians.
The event that most clearly contributes to the monster's hatred of humans is option D: Frankentein's abandonment of his creation immediately after it receives life.
The monster tells it's story to his creator, Victor Frankenstein, when they meet on a hill. Frankenstein is surprised to see how articulated the creature is, and it tells how he was attacked every time he found humans. Then he narrates how he hid himself in a warehouse of firewood attached to a cottage, from where he observes the life of a family, until the day they discover the monster he is. From this point, the creature decides to get revenge from his creator.
The poem is dedicated to the author's father who was tortured and imprisoned during the Cultural Revolution.
In the first stanza of the poem, the author describes that how his father was a school principal and one day he caught a carp and everybody in the school tasted it. The poem emphasizes the importance in Chinese culture where it represents perseverance, luck, and success. Paradoxically, Wang writes that her son is named Carp and yet he died an early death.
The carp also represents a loss of innocence and the flawed nature of people with the lines "they had tasted the carp". This stanza shows how a good memory turned into a painful one.
