Answer:

Twain is satirizing the cold and distant attitude of all servants or butlers across London and, possibly, England. When Henry meets the servant for the second time, the servant speaks to him in a cold and a distant fashion, common to his "tribe." By using the word tribe, Twain attempts to group together all servants of such richly estates. He then treats their general cold attitude towards guests or strangers as a behavior or a tradition common to the tribe. The writer may be hinting that a lot of servants may have become proud after being in the company of rich employers for a long time. They may have started considering themselves above the common folks such as the narrator and would treat such people with an air of indifference.

How do Circe’s words in paragraph 5 help to advance the plot?
kifflom [539]

When Odysseus decides to leave Circe in Book 10, she helps him by giving him encouragement, knowledge about the future and concrete advice. When Odysseus hears that he must go to the House of Death, he feels despondent, but with the support of Circe, Odysseus feels he is able to lead his men to the Kingdom of the Dead with confidence. Circe tells Odysseus to trust the North Wind, and she also explains to him exactly what to expect when he gets to Persephone's Grove. This knowledge about the future is reassuring to Odysseus, as something frightening becomes familiar with Circe's descriptions. Finally, Circe instructs Odysseus clearly, telling him exactly what to do at different steps of his journey. As well, Circe tells Odysseus that Tiresias will appear to him and tell him how to get home, which may be the words of encouragement Odysseus needs the most.

Read the excerpts from " The Royal House of Thebes " and " The Story of a Warrior Queen ." Antigone and Ismene heard with horror
egoroff_w [7]

The correct answer is Both Antigone and Boadicea are heroines who choose their values over their lives, knowing they may die in the process.

Antigone was shocked due to Creon's decision, he decreed that none of those who had attacked Thebes will be buried. Since Antigone's brother Polyneices was killed during the war in Thebes burying him will mean disobedience towards Creon and result in Antigone's dead.

As for Boadicea, she wants to fight against the Romans, who are taking freedom and wealth away from her people. She is well aware her and her people are a minority however she still wants to stand against them despite the fact of knowing that they might get killed in the process.

Both characters are willing to fight for they beliefs, theirs values and their loved ones not caring whether they die. Because dying will mean that they at least tried.
