According to Camus in "The Myth of Sisyphus," "…fate...is a human matter which must be settled among men....At the subtle moment

zhenek [66]

Answer:

Both accepted fate to be ultimate in determining one's life course

Explanation:

In the Myth of Sisyphus, Sisyphus was eternally condemned by the gods to push a rock up a hill, only to have it fall down on him again. Meursault however, is a person who is accused of murder, sent to jail for over a year, and is then executed. What both these characters have come to realize is that they are forced to live in these situations created by fate, therefore they might as well enjoy or at least get used to them.

Meursault is forced to live in a cell without any pleasures, such as his cigarettes or the love of a woman. When this happens, Meursault recalls what his mother told him.

She said that one could get used to just about anything. When Meursault realizes and understands that this is just part of his punishment, he becomes indifferent, as he always does, and accepts his situation. Though Meursault had mentally accepted his situation, his body still suffers withdraw symptoms and sexual urges. Eventually however, his body got used to it as well. He passively defies punishment by accepting his situation and enjoying himself in jail. That is when Meursault's punishment isn't a punishment anymore. When Meursault is condemned to death, he does not act surprised, although he wishes he did not have to die. After a while he accepts that too. It did not matter to him that he is going to die, since he reasoned that he would have to face the same dilemma in a few years anyway.

What does rusesabagina mean when he says that words are powerful tools of life, that they "may be the only ones?"

storchak [24]

Paul Rusesabagina might mean that words have the power to make people act or react in a certain situations. Let´s take an example from his text, he asked the question "What had caused this to happen? Very simple: words" He is referring to a "cool" guy who ends up being a militar carrying guns so Paul blames his parents because he thinks that he might have been told "over and over again" how stupid he was, how he never would be attractive or physically fit. This was used to enforce the power of the elite. So this might be considered a clear case in which due to words a person might decide his future.

Ramses II ruled over Egypt from the years 1279 BCE to 1213 BCE. A famous statue was erected to him during his reign, and the sta

ivolga24 [154]

The poet states that the statue had been destroyed and what were left was its leg and head. But in contrast to that the picture has a full statue with the entire body. Also the poet has stated that the face has a permanent frown due to ordering always, but here it does not seem to be. So therefore that is the one detail not clearly shown by the poet.

Lines 110–116: Suggest how this lengthy sentence might be rewritten in a more modern way.

Aloiza [94]

Incomplete question. I inferred you are referring to "Bradford's History of 'Plimoth Plantation'", by William Bradford.

Explanation:

Lines 110-116 reads;

"In ye name of God, Amen. We whose names are underwriten, the loyall subjects of our dread soveraigne Lord, King James, by ye grace of God, of Great Britaine, Franc, & Ireland king, defender of ye faith, &c., haveing undertaken, for ye glorie of God, and advancemente of ye Christian faith, and honour of our king & countrie, a voyage to plant ye first colonie in ye Northerne parts of Virginia, doe by these presents solemnly & mutualy in ye presence of God, and one of another, covenant & combine our selves togeather into a civill body politick, for our better ordering & preservation & furtherance of ye ends aforesaid; and by vertue hearof to enacte, constitute, and frame such just & equall lawes, ordinances, acts, constitutions, & offices, from time to time, as shall be thought most meete & convenient for ye generall good of ye Colonie, unto which we promise all due submission and obedience. In witnes wherof we have hereunder subscribed our names at Cap-Codd ye 11. of November, in ye year of ye raigne of our soveraigne lord, King James, of England, France, & Ireland ye eighteenth, and of Scotland ye fiftie fourth. Ano: Dom. 1620..."

This lengthy sentence might be rewritten in a more modern way by replacing old English expressions like 'ye' with 'the' and adjusting the spellings of some words.

For example, The first five lines of lines 110 could be written;

"In the name of God, Amen. We whose names are underwritten, the loyal subjects of our dread sovereign Lord, King James, by the grace of God, of Great Britain, Franc, & Ireland king, defender of the faith, &c., having undertaken, for the glory of God, and advancement of the Christian faith and honor of our king & country, a voyage to plant the first colonies in the Northern parts of Virginia..."
