Atlas’s Great Fate
Trilby Greene


1Long ago, the lands of Ancient Greece were inhabited by a race of giants called the Titans. Their leader, Cronus—whose mother was Earth and whose father was the Sky—sat high and mighty above all as the ruler of the world and king of the heavens. Cronus greatly enjoyed his powerful position. He did everything he could to make sure that no one would ever take his place. His son Zeus, though, longed to become king. Zeus challenged Cronus to a war, and Cronus accepted.

2Zeus defeated his father and became the new ruler of the heavens. His first task was to punish the Titans for opposing him. He sent most of the giant warriors away from the earth. Zeus had a special punishment, however, for the Titan warrior Atlas, who was known for his bravery and strength.

3“You have a heavy burden to bear, Atlas,” said Zeus, “for as I place this pillar on your shoulder, you must support the heavens forever.”

4So Atlas took up his new role, holding the weight of the heavens on his shoulders. As he stood, he wondered how he would ever escape his terrible fate. As luck would have it, one day he received a visit from the young warrior Hercules, who needed his help.

5 “Atlas, I am on an important mission,” Hercules explained. “If I complete ten great tasks for my new master, I will be made into a god. But I am told you are the only one who can help with my next task. I must steal the golden apples from the garden of Hera, Zeus’ wife—the one guarded by the dragon with one hundred heads.”

6As Atlas crouched on the ground under the weight of the heavens, he started to form a plan.

7 “I know just how to get the apples,” he told the warrior, “and I would be glad to help. But first I’ll need for you to take the weight of the heavens while I’m gone.” So the two transferred the heavens onto Hercules’ shoulders and Atlas ran off to collect the apples, amazed at his newfound freedom.

8Atlas collected the golden apples quickly, and when he returned, he laid them at Hercules’ feet. The warrior was overjoyed.

9 “Your joy will be short,” Atlas told him, “for I do not intend to hold the heavens any longer. The burden is now your own.”

10 “Alas, Atlas, you have fooled me,” Hercules admitted sadly. “I’ll accept my fate, but I wonder first if you might help me put some padding on my shoulders where the pillar must rest. You see, I’m not as strong as a giant, and I need some extra help holding all of this weight. Might you hold the heavens for me while I arrange the padding?”

11Atlas agreed and took on the weight once more. Then he watched as Hercules scooped up the apples and scampered away, calling thanks over his shoulder as he disappeared from Atlas’s view.

In Act I, Scene 4 of The Diary of Anne Frank, we notice that Anne and Peter are at a particularly awkward and delicate stage in their lives. They are not quite children, but have not fully developed into adults. You can probably relate to how they feel. In this scene, Mrs. Van Daan embarrasses Peter by calling Anne his "little girlfriend." How do you think Peter really feels toward Anne? Write about a time when an adult did or said something to embarrass you. How did you react? How was your experience simliar or different from Peter and Anne's? Your answer should be about 150 words in length.

Answers

Answer:

On this question its really just asking you if any adult you know has ever embarrassed you before, if so tell them how and did you feel the same as peter did.

Explanation:

Answer:

How do I think Peter really felt toward Anne?  I think that Peter did not like her at first. She annoyed him all the time and he thought she talked too much. When she puts on his clothes and pretends to be him he likes her less. You can tell that he thinks she is childish. He gets used to her in time and was worried about her when she had a nightmare. A time when an adult did something that embarrassed me was on my birthday. My friends and I were at the high school track field. My mom had taken us there waiting for our movie to start at the theater. She told them that I still rode in a car seat in 5th grade when nobody else did because I am short. I covered my face then changed the subject really quickly. It was super embarrassing. I guess it is different from Peter and Anne's because mine happened around multiple people and they only had a few. I had my friends, who were all girls, while theirs happened between a boy and a girl, which is why it was more embarrassing.

Answer:

Explanation:

Answer:

Connotation is an idea or feeling that a word evokes. If something has a positive connotation, it will evoke warm feelings. Meanwhile, something with a negative connotation will make someone feel less than pleasant. To call someone “verbose” when you want to say they're a “great conversationalist” may not convey that.

Answers

Answer:

Miss Prism. No married man is ever attractive except to his wife.

Explanation:

The story "The Importance of Being Earnest" is a classic example of comedy of manners. The story presents the picture of Victorian upper class society.
