Answer:
Explanation:
In Oedipus the King, Sophocles uses blindness and sight as metaphors. Tiresias a physically blind man has a clearer vision than the king Oedipus. Tiresias states "So, you mock my blindness? Let me tell you this, you with your precious eyes, you’re blind to the corruption of your life, to the house you live in, those you live with” (Sophocles 470-475). Blindness is used as a metaphor for the loss of identity, power, and hope. Meanwhile, a clear vision is used as a metaphor for knowledge and insight. The protagonist Oedipus is "Blind" "You have not the truth. You’re blind. Blind in your eyes. Blind in your ears. Blind in your mind” (Sophocles 40). The truth holds power, a power only those with clear sight can see, in the end, Oedipus’s downfall is his blindness, and he ends up being powerless. ok all good please give brailiest :)
Your writing is precise and straightforward, and you back up your arguments with explicit quotes from the book. You correctly note the play's usage of metaphors involving blindness and sight, and you explain how these metaphors are utilized to illustrate various ideas.
Here are some ideas for enhancements:
You may go into further detail on the various ideas that blindness and sight stand for. You might talk about how sight can stand in for knowledge and comprehension while blindness can stand in for ignorance. You might also talk about how the play's overall meaning is influenced by the metaphorical use of sight and blindness.
You can claim, for instance, that the play conveys the idea that true knowledge can only be attained by experience and that individuals who are unable to see clearly because of pride or self-interest will inevitably fail. Overall, your writing is excellent, and you clearly comprehend how Oedipus the King uses blindness and sight as metaphors.

A surfboard was not secured to the top of a stopped van. When the van quickly accelerated, the surfboard fell to the ground in the original location of the van. Which one of Newton's laws best explain what happened?
Answer: The first law
Explanation:
The first law states "an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it." In this case the surfboard on top of the van was at rest and once the van started moving the acceleration of the surfboard wasn't equal to the acceleration of the van. So there was no force to keep it at the speed of the van if it wasn't strapped correctly. I hope this answers your question I did try my best.

Scarlet Letter Chapter 12
-Characterization
-Connections (Text to text, Text to world, Text to self)
-Theme
Answer:
This chapter, the second of three crucial scaffold scenes, appears exactly in the middle of the novel. Again, Hawthorne gathers all of his major characters in one place — this time in a chapter so foreboding, so convincing in its psychology, and so rich in its symbolism that it is unquestionably one of the most powerful in the novel.
In his description of Dimmesdale's actions while alone on the scaffold, Hawthorne demonstrates his mastery of psychological realism. The sudden changes in mood that take place in the minister's tired mind, the self-condemnation for his cowardice, the near-insanity of his scream, and his impulse to speak to Mr. Wilson all are developed convincingly. The first scaffold scene took place during the noon hours and concentrated on Hester's guilt and punishment. This second scene, occurring at the midnight hours, puts both "sinners" on the scaffold and concentrates on Dimmesdale's guilt and punishment. All the major characters of the first scene are again present. The town, although present, sleeps or is otherwise unaware of the action.
Previously, we have seen Dimmesdale's conscious mind attempting to reason through the problem of his concealed guilt. In contrast, in this chapter, we see the tortured workings of his subconscious mind, which is the real source of his agony. When Dimmesdale is forced by Pearl's repeated question to bring the issue into the open, his fear of confession still dominates his subconscious desire to confess. Just as the town was asleep earlier and there was "no peril of discovery," now he backs off once again. His two refusals to publicly acknowledge his relationship with Hester and Pearl suggest, perhaps, Peter's first two denials of Christ.
Hawthorne's flair for Gothic detail is demonstrated in the appearance of a spectacular, weird light and the startling revelation of the diabolical Roger Chillingworth, who is standing near the scaffold. However, although both details have the effect of supernatural occurrences, Hawthorne is careful to give a natural explanation for each of them. The light, Hawthorne says, "was doubtless caused by one of those meteors, which the night-watcher may so often observe, burning out to waste."
Hawthorne also indicates that the meaning is in the mind of the beholder: The sexton sees it as an A for angel because Governor Winthrop had recently become an angel. Similarly, Chillingworth's appearance, although it suggests his knowledge of Dimmesdale's whereabouts, is logically explained by his having attended the dying Governor Winthrop.
As in the first scaffold scene, this chapter abounds in both major and minor symbols: the scaffold itself; Dimmesdale's standing on it; the three potential observers representing Church, State, and the World of Evil; the "electric chain" of Hester, Pearl, and Dimmesdale; Pearl's appeal to Dimmesdale; the revealing light from the heavens; and the variation on the letter A.

“The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus”
In the text, Doctor Faustus has chosen a particular fate. What does his address to Helen of Troy reveal about what he values? Support your answer using details from the text.
Introduction
In Greek mythology, Helen of Troy was the most beautiful woman in Greece and had many suitors. When Menelaus was chosen as her husband, her other suitors vowed to protect their marriage. Years later, Paris, having been promised the most beautiful woman in the world by Aphrodite, went to Sparta, and while Menelaus was away, fled with Helen to Troy. Menelaus and Helen's former suitors joined forces to retrieve her from Paris, which began the ten-year Trojan War. Paris was killed during the conflict, and Helen was married to his brother Deiphobus. When Deiphobus was killed, Menelaus took Helen back to Sparta.
The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus tells the story of a scholar who sells his soul to the devil to be able to perform "black magic" for twenty-four years. At the end of the play, just before he must die to fulfill this commitment, his last desire is to see Helen of Troy once more. He had previously conjured her spirit for three scholars who wished to see the woman they had decided had been most admired for her beauty.
Answer:
Fausto's speech shows that he values immortality, self-preservation and the ability to depend on those who can promote his desires.
Explanation:
Faustus begs Helen to be his spiritual guide and to give him immortality, allowing him to have free will over where his soul should go. This shows that Faustus, despite his actions and the problems that he got into, killed his conscience of self-preservation and is afraid of what the da*nation of the soul can cause.
We can see this through the lines:
"Sweet Helen, make me immortal with a kiss. [ Kisses her .] Her lips suck forth my soul; see, where it flies!—Come, Helen, come, give me my soul again. Here will I dwell, for Heaven is in these lips, And all is dross that is not Helena. "

In the poem, the line talking about "granite in granite hill" displays that the mother of the speaker has left the world. This is further reflected through the descriptions like "she left behind...no thing I treasure...took into the grave."This is cause the speaker talks about the strength and valor that her mother possessed.Thus, option D is the correct answer.
