PLEASE HELP! From The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain There was a rustling of dresses, and the standing congregation sat down. The boy whose history this book relates did not enjoy the prayer, he only endured it—if he even did that much. He was restive all through it; he kept tally of the details of the prayer, unconsciously—for he was not listening, but he knew the ground of old, and the clergyman's regular route over it—and when a little trifle of new matter was interlarded, his ear detected it and his whole nature resented it; he considered additions unfair, and scoundrelly. In the midst of the prayer a fly had lit on the back of the pew in front of him and tortured his spirit by calmly rubbing its hands together, embracing its head with its arms, and polishing it so vigorously that it seemed to almost part company with the body, and the slender thread of a neck was exposed to view; scraping its wings with its hind legs and smoothing them to its body as if they had been coat-tails; going through its whole toilet as tranquilly as if it knew it was perfectly safe. As indeed it was; for as sorely as Tom's hands itched to grab for it they did not dare—he believed his soul would be instantly destroyed if he did such a thing while the prayer was going on. But with the closing sentence his hand began to curve and steal forward; and the instant the "Amen" was out the fly was a prisoner of war. His aunt detected the act and made him let it go. The minister gave out his text and droned along monotonously through an argument that was so prosy that many a head by and by began to nod—and yet it was an argument that dealt in limitless fire and brimstone and thinned the predestined elect down to a company so small as to be hardly worth the saving. Tom counted the pages of the sermon; after church he always knew how many pages there had been, but he seldom knew anything else about the discourse. However, this time he was really interested for a little while. The minister made a grand and moving picture of the assembling together of the world's hosts at the millennium when the lion and the lamb should lie down together and a little child should lead them. But the pathos, the lesson, the moral of the great spectacle were lost upon the boy; he only thought of the conspicuousness of the principal character before the on-looking nations; his face lit with the thought, and he said to himself that he wished he could be that child, if it was a tame lion. Read these lines from the excerpt again: In the midst of the prayer a fly had lit on the back of the pew in front of him and tortured his spirit by calmly rubbing its hands together, embracing its head with its arms, and polishing it so vigorously that it seemed to almost part company with the body, and the slender thread of a neck was exposed to view; scraping its wings with its hind legs and smoothing them to its body as if they had been coat-tails; going through its whole toilet as tranquilly as if it knew it was perfectly safe. As indeed it was; for as sorely as Tom's hands itched to grab for it they did not dare—he believed his soul would be instantly destroyed if he did such a thing while the prayer was going on. In a response of two to three complete sentences explain why the fly described in this excerpt would have been in danger? Remember to use supporting details from the text.

Answer 1

Answer:

the fly in this excerpt would have been in danger if the prayer wasn't going on. in this exert it says promptly " As indeed it was for as sorely at Tom's hands itched to grab for it they did not dare-he believed his soul would be instantly destroyed if he did such a thing wile prayer was going on." meaning the only thing that saved the fly's life was the prayer that was going on, otherwise the boy would have grabbed it.

In telling the details of her father’s bravery, Oona tried to explain why she cannot be the wife of a coward. These details also serve the purpose of A creating a contrast for Negore’s supposed cowardice B Creating a sense of impatience and delay in the reader C Increasing the curiosity of the reader about Oona D Increasing the time of Kinoos in the narrative

Answers

Answer:

A. Creating a contrast for Negore's supposed cowardice.

Explanation:

When Oona arosed with a 'catlike ease'  after Negore asked if there is no greeting for him, Oona replied by saying "I was thy woman to be, Negore, but thou art a coward; the daughter of old Kinoos mates not with a coward!." This statement by Oona creates a contrast for Negore's supposed cowardice as the statement shows reason why she cannot be wife to a coward since her father was a brave man.

"Negore The Coward" is a short story by Jack London which took place in the mid-nineteeth century in Alaska, when the Negore tribe is running from the band of Russians.

Answers

Answer:

After church Scout and Cal discuss Cal's use of different languages, Cal's history and Cal's and Zebo's educations.

Explanation:

After visiting Calpurnia's church (a church for black people only) for the first time, Jem and Scout, especially Scout, start asking a bunch of questions to Calpurnia. On their way back home, the kids learned why Cal talked differently among the black community, they learned that she grew up between the Buford Place and the Landin‘, has worked for the Finches and the Bufords all her life and that she moved to Maycomb when Jem and Scout's parents got married. They also learned how Cal and Zebo learned to read: Cal was taught by Miss Maudie Atkinson’s aunt, old Miss Buford, and Zebo was taught how to read by Cal, who used the Bible and the Blackstone’s Commentaries to teach him.

Answer:

- Cal's history

- Cal and Zeebo's education

- Cal's use of different languages

Explanation:

Cal's history comes into play when Scout begins asking about her birthdate, and Cal states that she just has it on Christmas; its easier to remember that way. (Cal does not remember her actual birthday)

Cal and Zeebo's education comes into play when Cal states where she was taught, and Scout proceeds to ask if she taught her son, Zeebo, to which she replies yes.

Cal's use of different languages comes into play when the children ask why she talks like an African-American, even though she knows better.

1. Why are the weapons stored out of reach? From the odyssey

Answers

Answer:

The weapons were stored out of reach so that when Odysseus attacks the suitors, they will not be able to get their hands on any weapon and defend themselves.

Explanation:

Homer's epic narrative "The Odyssey," tells the story of the protagonist Odysseus and his return back from the Trojan War. Though the war had been over long ago, the journey that Odysseus and his men took to get back to Ithaca involves numerous encounters with both gods and men.

In book XIX, Odysseus had returned to his palace and seen the suitors and the turmoil they have created. So, he ordered his son Telemachus to get things ready so that they will execute his plan to secretly attack them while they're unprepared. He asked him to remove the weapons and armors inside, "Make some excuse when the suitors ask you why you have removed it. Say that you have taken it to be out of the way of the smoke, inasmuch as it is no longer what it was when Ulysses went away, but has become soiled and begrimed with soot. Add to this more particularly that you are afraid Jove may set them on to quarrel over their wine, and that they may do each other some harm which may disgrace both banquet and wooing, for the sight of arms sometimes tempts people to use them". This way, when they attack the suitors, they will be left helpless and not reach for any weapon to defend themselves.
