The passage states that a spider's web is not strong enough to stop a falling rock. Its home will be destroyed and the spider must rebuild his web again.

The correct answer is II. Spiders are powerless should a rock fall on them.

Explanation: In "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" by Jonathan Edwards, the author uses a metaphor to explain how low God considers sinners to be, and that they are weak in the face of his wrath. Edwards compares spiders to sinners because of how weak and loathesome they are, and the spider's web represents the sinner's congregation. The rock falling through the web represents God's strength and gravity towards sinners.

After reading an excerpt from The Way to Rainy Mountain, consider the Cherokee Indian creation story, "How the World Was Made."
Leto [7]

Answer:

Momaday watched and measured his grandmother praying in the traditional Kiowa way

Explanation:

Both of these stories are very similar in terms of language, style and structure. There are several features which prove this. In terms of their tone, when thinking about things of cultural importance, such as Rainy Mountain, all stories take on a serious sound. It highlights the importance for American Indian societies of such artifacts and sites.

All stories use a narrative style with respect to their format and style. We may perceive, however, that this sound is not just entertaining but insightful too. Both stories want to teach readers about the communities that contributed to their creation and the events.

Write a compare-and-contrast analysis of how culture shapes the heroes in Heart of a Samurai and Black Ships Before Troy.
aliina [53]

Answer:

The culture in "Black Ships Before Troy" caused a hero to be seen as a traitor, while in "Heart of a Samurai" the culture almost prevented a hero from appearing.

Explanation:

"Black Ships Before Troy" presents a people with a culture very based on religion, where they believed that all the events that happened were due to the action of the gods. Good events were because the gods were happy, while bad events were caused by the wrath of the gods. In this case, when a hero tried to stop the horse sent to Troy and ended up dying before completing his mission, he was seen as a traitor who was rebuked by the gods.

In contrast, "Heart of a Samurai" shows how a boy who dreamed of being a samurai was prevented because his family was made up of fishermen and the culture said that young people should follow their parents' tragedy.
