Read this excerpt from "The Most Dangerous Game,” by Richard Connell. In a cultivated voice marked by a slight accent that gave

it added precision and deliberateness, he said: "It is a very great pleasure and honor to welcome Mr. Sanger Rainsford, the celebrated hunter, to my home." Automatically Rainsford shook the man's hand. "I've read your book about hunting snow leopards in Tibet, you see," explained the man. "I am General Zaroff." Now read the second excerpt. "The general's left eyelid fluttered down in a wink. "This island is called Ship-Trap," he answered. "Sometimes an angry god of the high seas sends them to me. Sometimes, when Providence is not so kind, I help Providence a bit. Come to the window with me." Rainsford went to the window and looked out toward the sea. "Watch! Out there!" exclaimed the general, pointing into the night. Rainsford's eyes saw only blackness, and then, as the general pressed a button, far out to sea Rainsford saw the flash of lights. The general chuckled. "They indicate a channel," he said, "where there's none: giant rocks with razor edges crouch like a sea monster with wide-open jaws. They can crush a ship as easily as I crush this nut."

The reader's perception of General Zaroff changes between the two excerpts. At first, the reader believes that Zaroff is a welcoming host (indicated by the phrase "It is a very great pleasure..."). However, upon reading the second excerpt, the reader learns that Zaroff is dangerous, since he has a contraption to wreck ships (and then laughs about it). The reader can further predict that Sanger Rainsford was lured there on purpose, since Zaroff already knows about his hunting skills.

Kamila [148]

Two words creating an admiring tone are prettiest and kindest.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Jane Eyre is the tale of a youthful, stranded young lady (amazingly, she's named Jane Eyre) who lives with her auntie and cousins, the Reeds, at Gateshead Hall. Jane is excited to have discovered a family finally, and she chooses to separate her legacy between her cousins and herself equitably so they each will acquire 5,000 pounds.

The fundamental clash in Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Bronte, encompasses Jane's endeavors to accommodate the world that regularly has no qualities to the code of qualities by which she carries on with her life.

timofeeve [1]

The Morris Abraham Schneider give readers a better understanding of the immigrants' voyage to America in the "Ellis  Island Oral History Project" excerpt by explaining the conditions of the steerage.

<u>Option: A</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Morris Abraham Schneider indicated that steerage was one big spot. It was the smallest deck. The stench, it was the summer, in August, the humidity, the sun, not having air conditioning, cooling facilities, it was really hot, exacerbated by the reality that in this massive cavernous environment there must have been two to three hundred people everywhere.

He also added that there was no such thing as washing or bathing, the body smells, the body odors, the lack of hygiene, the lack of any form of facilities. The stench, the vermin, had been infested with rodent, but he thought that being kids had its benefits, in this case because normally adult were just trying to get out of there.

How do you find the mercy given by the gods to orpheus ?was it fair or not?why?​
Vilka [71]

Answer:

The mercy of the gods is unleashed when they are enchanted by the music of Ofeu. This mercy was just, since Orpheus was a very talented musician.

Explanation:

Orpheus was in love with his wife Eurydice. One day Eurydice is bitten by a snake and ends up dying. Orpheus is desolate and decides to go and fetch her in the underworld, taking his harp, in case he needed to use his talent to convince the gods Hades and Persephone to release Eurydice.

This is exactly what happens and, moved by Orpheus' talent, the gods have the mercy to free Persephone from the underworld.

Read the passage from The Odyssey - Elpenor.
adell [148]

For Odysseus and his men, the loss of Helios, the sun, symbolizes a loss of C. Hope.

In poetry, light ( such as the sun, the moon, candles, stars) often symbolizes good, hope, and freedom.

In the lines <em>"Never the flaming  eye of Helios lights on those men  at morning, when he climbs the sky of stars, nor in descending earthward out of heaven"  </em>the reflected idea is that they do not see the sunrise or sunset anymore, thus they are eventually condemned to a total loss of light, that is to say, hope.
