What two words or phrases in this excerpt from "Thanatopsis" by William Cullen Bryant best help to reveal the meaning of the wor

d blight as it is used in the poem?
She has a voice of gladness, and a smile
And eloquence of beauty, and she glides
Into his darker musings, with a mild
And healing sympathy, that steals away
Their sharpness, ere he is aware. When thoughts
Of the last bitter hour come like a blight
Over thy spirit, and sad images
Of the stern agony, and shroud, and pall.
And breathless darkness, and the narrow house,
Make thee to shudder, and grow sick at heart--
Go forth, under the open sky, and list
To Nature's teachings,

What are some advantages of James Hurst deciding to have Brother as the narrator? (answer in 3-5 well-developed sentences) *
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

With Hurst making Brother as the narrative voice, we are able to reach deep into the feelings and emotions of the brother. It also reveals a sense of brotherly love, the want, and the need to make his sickly brother be a part of the 'normal' life of his peers and at times, even the selfish interests of the brother.

Explanation:

James Hurst's story "The Scarlet Ibis" revolves around the story of two brothers, one physically sick and the older brother trying to make sure his brother is capable of living the life of a typical child. Only identified as "Brother", the narrator is the older brother of the sickly William "Doodle" Armstrong, the story's main protagonist.

Brother's voice gives us an insight into the brotherly bond between the two siblings. He also <u>gave us an in-depth look into what he really feels about his sibling's sickness</u>, and what he wants for him in life. He pushes and tried to train him to make him stronger. At times,<u> he even admitted it was for his own sake that he wants others to see his brother is like every child</u>. He admits <em>"It was bad enough having an invalid brother"</em> and even wanted to smother him with a pillow. But a smile brought the human in him and he then decided to "train" and help him get better, be like every other kid.

<u>Had the narrator been not the Brother, then all the inner feelings and emotions, the hatred and then the want to help, the pity and at times the selfishness will never be really revealed or known by the readers.</u> So, through the voice of Brother, we understood and also know a great deal about the two brothers and the story's overall plot.

An example of the _____ archetype in the Odyssey would be Circe, who entices Odysseus to stay with her a full year
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

An example of the temptress archetype in the Odyssey would be Circe, who entices Odysseus to stay with her a full year.

Explanation:

<u>The archetype known as temptress refers to a woman who uses her incredible charm, intelligence, and beauty to lure men into dangerous situations. The purpose of the temptress is to use those men to do whatever she wants. Therefore, she can be described as seductive, but unethical.</u> Circe is one example of the temptress archetype. Let's keep in mind that Odysseus is trying to get back home, to his wife and son, when Circe seduces him, having him stay with her a whole year (I'm not saying he is not at fault, here. He surely is aware of his cheating.) She also transforms Odysseus's men into pigs after luring them.
