Answer:
Achilles
Explanation:
A faulty character is likely to be an allusion to Achilles. This is because Achilles was a man who was bathed in the river Styx and was left invulnerable. However, he had a flaw. His heel was not washed in the river and it became a completely fragile place. For this reason, a character in a movie who has a single flaw might allude to Achilles.
It is important to remember that allusion is a figure of speech that allows a writer to make references to things, people and places that are not part of his/her text, but which have a special meaning when added to the text.

What is ethos?Ethos is a Greek word meaning "character" that is used to describe the guiding beliefs or ideals that characterize a community, nation, or ideology; and the balance between caution, and passion.
The Greeks also used this word to refer to the power of music to influence emotions, behaviors, and even morals. Early Greek stories of Orpheus exhibit this idea in a compelling way. The word's use in rhetoric is closely based on the Greek terminology used by Aristotle in his concept of the three artistic proofs or modes of persuasion. It gives credit to the speaker, or the speaker is taking credit. In modern usage, ethos denotes the disposition, character, or fundamental values peculiar to a specific person, people, corporation, culture, or movement.
For example, the poet and critic T. S. Eliot wrote in 1940 that "the general ethos of the people they have to govern determines the behavior of politicians.

The Henderson family moved into an apartment on the 14th floor where is the complete subject and complete predicate
Answer:
Subject = The Henderson family
Predicate = moved into an apartment on the 14th floor
Explanation:
Subject is the word referred to in a sentence. Subject, more simply, is the word that indicates in a sentence who is acting; who is receiving an action; who is in a situation.
In turn, the predicate is a basic sentence member attributing to a subject or independently expressing an activity, state, or property. It is usually a verb in a certain form or an auxiliary verb with a noun or adverbial form.
In the first paragraph, the narrator says, " [The Hydrophobic Skunk] is so rare that nobody ever saw him--that is, nobody except a native. " Why is it that only natives have ever seen the hydrophobic Skunk? Use evidence from the text to support your answer.
Answer:
Only natives have ever seen the hydrophobic skunk because it is probably just a myth.
Explanation:
Irvin S. Cobb (1876-1944) was an American humorist and author. The story "The Hydrophobic Skunk" is filled with sarcasm and wit.
Right from the beginning, we are told that no one has ever seen a hydrophobic skunk. That is, no one except the natives who live around the Grand Canyon. However, the way the narrator describes it makes it seem that it is all a lie, a legend:
"I met plenty of tourists who had seen people who had see him, but never a tourist who had seen him with his own eyes."
This is clearly not just a rare animal, for rare animals are seen by someone. This is a mythical creature, a figment of someone's imagination, since no one ever sees it. They claim to know someone who has seen it, but nobody ever claims to have seen it themselves.

THE VOYAGES OF DOCTOR DOLITTLE
By Hugh Lofting
Chapter 1: The Cobbler's Son
My name was Tommy Stubbins, son of Jacob Stubbins, the cobbler of Puddleby-on-the-Marsh; and I was nine and a half years old. At that time Puddleby was only quite a small town. A river ran through the middle of it; and over this river there was a very old stone bridge, called Kingsbridge, which led you from the market-place on one side to the churchyard on the other.
Sailing-ships came up this river from the sea and anchored near the bridge. I used to go down and watch the sailors unloading the ships upon the river-wall. The sailors sang strange songs as they pulled upon the ropes; and I learned these songs by heart. And I would sit on the river-wall with my feet dangling over the water and sing with the men, pretending to myself that I too was a sailor.
For I longed always to sail away with those brave ships when they turned their backs on Puddleby Church and went creeping down the river again, across the wide lonely marshes to the sea. I longed to go with them out into the world to seek my fortune in foreign lands—Africa, India, China and Peru! When they got round the bend in the river and the water was hidden from view, you could still see their huge brown sails towering over the roofs of the town, moving onward slowly—like some gentle giants that walked among the houses without noise. What strange things would they have seen, I wondered, when next they came back to anchor at Kingsbridge! And, dreaming of the lands I had never seen, I'd sit on there, watching till they were out of sight.
Which of the following best summarizes the main point of the plot as presented in the excerpt of "The Cobbler's Son"? (6 points)
Tommy had little hope of escaping his quiet life.
Tommy learned strange songs from sailors in his youth.
Tommy hoped to live a life of adventure in his youth.
Tommy lived in a quaint, small village in his youth.
Answer:
Tommy hoped to live a life of adventure in his youth.

Read the passage from "Allegory of the Cave."
Socrates: And now, let me show in a figure how far our
nature is enlightened or unenlightened: - Behold!
human beings living in a underground den, which has a
mouth open towards the light and reaching all along the
den; here they have been from their childhood, and
have their legs and necks chained so that they cannot
move, and can only see before them, being prevented
by the chains from turning round their heads. Above
and behind them a fire is blazing at a distance, and
between the fire and the prisoners there is a raised
way; and you will see, if you look, a low wall built along
the way, like the screen which marionette players have
in front of them, over which they show the puppets.
What is the purpose of describing human beings as
living in an underground den?
to show that many people live their lives in terrible
physical conditions
to use imagery to suggest that people are trapped
by their perceptions and prevented from
understanding reality
O to show that people depend on others like the
players to describe reality
O to use imagery to show that people must change
their governments to escape their misunderstanding
of reality

George Takei's dad, who suffered the most under the conditions of Japanese American internment, said to George:
“Our democracy is a people’s democracy, and it can be as great as the people can be, but it is also as fallible as the people are,”
What does he mean by this ?
Answer:
He meant that democracy is not perfect, but rather susceptible to huge and harmful failures, which must be tackled.
Explanation:
George Takei is an American actor of Japanese descent. His family was forced to abandon their home and all their possessions to live in the Japanese concentration camps, formed by the American government during World War II. This was an extremely shameful moment in American history, as it shows the great level of instability, prejudice and intolerance towards immigrants and descendants. These factors are totally against the concepts preached by democracy, which is one of the great prides of the American population.
George Takei's father, as one of the great failures of American democracy, shows that this democracy is imperfect and capable of absurd cruelties, contrary to what it should be.
What’s the difference between indefinite pronoun and indefinite adjective? Explain
with at least 3 examples of each.
Answer:
Indefinite adjectives give nonspecific information about a noun. For example, the indefinite article few indicates some, but not an exact amount. Indefinite adjectives are easily confused with indefinite pronouns since they are the same words used differently. An indefinite pronoun replaces a noun. An indefinite adjective precedes a noun or pronoun and modifies it. It is important for you to understand the difference between indefinite adjectives and pronouns to assure you are saying what you mean. Some common indefinite adjectives include all, any, anything, each, every, few, many, one, several, some, somebody, and someone.
Example
ExampleIndefinite adjective: We are having some cake for dessert.
ExampleIndefinite adjective: We are having some cake for dessert.Indefinite pronoun: I like cake. I’ll have some, please.

PLIGHT OF THE POOR AND NEEDY IN DETROIT AND POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
Dear Sir,
It is no secret that the city if Detroit had one of the highest numbers of poor, homeless and unemployed population in America and the number keeps increasing everyday.
I've met with a few of these people and they live in shelters, park benches, anywhere they can lay their head and anywhere they can find food, at great personal risk of bodily harm and assault.
I believe that one of the ways of solving this problem is to build more shelters and encourage the poor and needy to learn a skill that can be self sufficient to them.
Another way of solving this problem is to educate them on the need for family planning, risk assessment and management and other important life skills that would enable them not to fall into the same problem when their skills starts to help pay the bills.
Thank you for your time and anticipated response.
You're faithfully,

Choose one of the following prompts for your narrative:
Write a personal narrative, or memoir, about a time when you had a problem communicating with someone. Think about what caused the problem and how it was resolved. Consider events and actions that caused the problem and what you learned from the event.
Answer and Explanation:
Hi. This question requires a personal answer, based on your own experiences. however, I'm going to show you an answer and hope you can use it as a template to create your own answer.
I usually have difficulties to communicate with my family when I'm facing difficulties that make me sad and with weakened mental health. This difficulty occurs because, in these moments, I feel weakened, without energy and I have no hope that someone will understand my problems. The last time this happened was when I was worried about the future and what my situation would be like a few years from now. I felt very anxious and devastated by these thoughts although I wanted to talk to someone about it, I was very scared and ashamed and I kept it all inside myself, which only made the situation worse. However, my mother noticed how crestfallen I was and started talking to me, giving me confidence to talk about my thoughts. In this case, I managed to learn that we shouldn't keep our problems to ourselves, but look for someone we trust to talk to and take a weight off our conscience, because even if communication doesn't solve our problems, it can give us a certain comfort, the that will improve our situation.
