How is the concept of "deus ex machina" related to foreshadowing?

Answer:

Deus ex machina (pronounced DAY-us ex MACK-in-uh) is Latin for “a god from the machine.” It’s when some new character, force, or event suddenly shows up to solve a seemingly hopeless situation. The effect is usually unexpected, and it’s often disappointing for audiences. It’s as if the author has brought us to the climactic moment of tension and suspense, and then simply said, “But then everything was suddenly OK.”

Read this passage from Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll.

“You don't know how to manage looking-glass cakes,” the Unicorn remarked. “Hand it round first, and cut it afterwards.”

This sounded nonsense, but Alice very obediently got up, and carried the dish round, and the cake divided itself into three pieces as she did so. “Now cut it up,” said the Lion, as she returned to her place with the empty dish.


How does the author use this passage to develop Alice’s character?

by showing that Alice is no longer afraid of talking animal

by showing that Alice now accepts the strange ways of the looking-glass world

by showing that Alice now has no patience for nonsense

by showing that Alice is now selfish because she will not divide the cake

CREON. [to ANTIGONE] And thou, then, bending to the ground thy head,
Confessest thou, or dost deny the deed?

ANTIG. I own I did it. I will not deny.

CREON. [to GUARD] Go thou thy way, where'er thy will may choose,
Freed from a weighty charge. [Exit GUARD.]
[To ANTIGONE] And now for thee,
Say in few words, not lengthening out thy speech,
Didst thou not know the edicts which forbade
The things thou ownest?

ANTIG. Right well I knew them all.
How could I not? Full clear and plain were they.

ANTIG. Yes, for it was not Zeus who gave them forth,
Nor Justice, dwelling with the Gods below,
Who traced these laws for all the sons of men;
Nor did I deem thy edicts strong enough,
Coming from mortal man, to set at naught
The unwritten laws of God that know not change.
They are not of to–day nor yesterday,
But live for ever, nor can man assign
When first they sprang to being. Not through fear
Of any man's resolve was I prepared
Before the Gods to bear the penalty
Of sinning against these. That I should die
I knew (how should I not?), though thy decree
Had never spoken. And, before my time
If I should die, I reckon this a gain;
For whoso lives, as I, in many woes,
How can it be but death shall bring him gain?
And so for me to bear this doom of thine
Has nothing painful. But, if I had left
My mother's son unburied on his death,
I should have given them pain. But as things are,
Pain I feel none. And should I seem to thee
To have done a foolish deed, 'tis simply this,—
I bear the charge of folly from a fool.

Chor. The maiden's stubborn will, of stubborn sire
The offspring shows itself. She knows not yet
To yield to evils.

CREON. Know, then, minds too stiff
Most often stumble, and the rigid steel
Baked in the furnace, made exceeding hard,
Thou seest most often split and broken lie;
And I have known the steeds of fiery mood
With a small curb subdued. It is not meet
That one who lives in bondage to his neighbours
Should boast too loudly. Wanton outrage then
She learnt when first these laws of mine she crossed,
But, having done it, this is yet again
A second outrage over it to boast,
And laugh at having done it. Surely, then,
She is the man, not I, if all unscathed
Such deeds of might are hers. But be she child
Of mine own sister, nearest kin of all
That Zeus o'erlooks within our palace court,
She and her sister shall not 'scape their doom
Most foul and shameful; for I charge her, too,
With having planned this deed of sepulture.
Go ye and call her. 'Twas but now within
I saw her raving, losing self–command.
And still the mind of those who in the dark
Plan deeds of evil is the first to fail,
And so convicts itself of secret guilt.
But most I hate when one found out in guilt
Will seek to glaze and brave it to the end.

Which lines from the excerpt of Antigone best demonstrate that Antigone's obstinacy could be attributed to her heredity?

A.Most foul and shameful; for I charge her, too,
With having planned this deed of sepulture.

B.The maiden's stubborn will, of stubborn sire

C.Right well I knew them all.
How could I not? Full clear and plain were they.

D.But most I hate when one found out in guilt
Will seek to glaze and brave it to the end.

How much do you think our genes affect our personality? Our science club is having a debate about whether or not genes play a bigger role than experiences in determining who we are. Genes play a bigger role than experiences in determining who we are. This is because shyness is a common characteristic based on genes and our genes can also affect us as adults.
The first reason why genes play a bigger role than experiences in determining who we are is that shyness is a common characteristic based on genes. According to Source 1, ¨Shyness has been studied perhaps more than any other personality trait. Kagan, who has monitored 500 children for more than 17 years at Harvard, can detect telltale signs of shyness in babies even before they're born. He's found that the hearts of shy children in the womb consistently beat faster than 140 times a minute, which is much faster than the heartbeats of other babies.¨ In other words, it is easily predicted that you are going to be a shy person when you are older because of your heart beating faster than normal in the womb. Also according to Source 1, “2- year-old Majorie was so painfully shy that she wouldn't talk to or look at a stranger. When Jerome Kagan, a Harvard professor who discovered that shyness has a strong genetic component, Marjorie showed every sign of inherited shyness, a condition in which the brain somehow sends out messages to avoid new experiences” Based on this shyness coming from our genes can very strongly affect how we act and interpret things especially depending on how severe it is.
Another reason why genes play a bigger role than experiences in determining who we are is that our genes can even affect us into adulthood. According to Source 2, “Sandra and Marisa Pena, 32-year-old identical twins, seem to be the same. They have the same thick dark hair, the same high cheekbones, the same habit of delicately rubbing the tip of the nose in conversation. They had the same type of thyroid cyst at the same age (18) in the same place (right side).” Based on this since they are twins they have mostly the same but slightly different genes that affected the way that they act and look which makes them seem the same. And also, “About 50 percent of the characteristics twins have in common are due to genes alone” To put it more simply, that is the reason why they act so much the same, they have about 50 percent of the same genes that make them practically identical.
In conclusion, genes play a more important role than experiences in determining who we are because shyness is a typical feature based on genes and our genes can also affect us in adulthood. But some people may argue that we can grow out of our genes or we can’t simply predict someone's personality. While I can admit that our personalities can change over time but at the same time, we still have a component that sticks with us somehow, according to Source 2“In recent years, we've come to believe that genes influence character and personality more than anything else does. It's not just about height and hair color--DNA seems to have its clutches on our very souls.” This means that we may experience somethings but our DNA still takes part in who we are. But also, indeed, we cannot 100% foretell someone's personality we can still make simple but true assumptions about how people may act based on how they act in the womb according to Source 1, “ Kagan can detect telltale signs of shyness in babies even before they're born. He's found that the hearts of shy children in the womb consistently beat faster than 140 times a minute, which is much faster than the heartbeats of other babies” This proves that genes can take a big part in how we act as people in the future even if they are small details.

Read this excerpt from We've Got a Job: The 1963 Children's March.

All of the students at St. Mary's were black, as required by law. But unlike the staff at black public schools, the teachers – all of whom were nuns – were white. So, Arnetta grew up mingling comfortably with white people. In fact, had she wanted to, she could have "passed" for white herself.

The excerpt uses third-person narration, because

a character tells the events of the story.
the author tells the facts of the story.
