How do the depictions of grief in the Odyssey and "An Ancient Gesture" develop a universal theme? How does Milly use the story of Penelope and Odysseus to convey a modern theme?

Answers

Answer 1

Explanation:

Este mito puede considerarse como uno de los más complejos y más cercanos al ser humano de cuantos legó la Antigüedad griega. Humano, porque Ulises busca, lucha y sufre porque ama, así como el hombre busca, lucha y sufre porque ama. Complejo, porque una multitud de otros personajes, de gran simbolismo, pueblan el escenario de su travesía de retorno al hogar y el terruño. Esos personajes muestran honda humanidad. El viaje de Odiseo puede calificarse de "itinerario humano", pues al menos 28 encrucijadas a las que puede verse enfrentado el hombre en su vida son superadas por Odiseo. Además de ser éste un mito complejo, ha demostrado ser abierto, pues ha permitido a muchos escritores aprovechar sus elementos esenciales o basarse en alguno de ellos. Por nombrar sólo algunos, se recuerda a Ovidio, Dante, Du Bellay, Tennyson, Joyce, Kazantzakis, Seferis.

The ancient Chinese had remarkably advanced ways of writing that had a long-lasting effect on the language.Chinese is one of the oldest written languages, dating to the Shang period (1600 to 1046 BC). Chinese scholars have uncovered written documents from this period that show an early form of present-day Chinese characters. The writing looked more like pictures than the standard characters of today. It consisted of phonetic signs, or signs that mimic human speech. During the Shang period, more than 3,000 characters were in use. Scholars have deciphered about 1,000 of those characters. Considering that modern Chinese uses about 3,500 characters consistently, the ancient Chinese created a written language that has remained relevant and evolved over time.

What is the main idea of "Solar Conjunction: When the Sun Gets in the Way"?
a. The Solar Conjunction is a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence.
b. Radio signals must pass through the solar corona.
c. There is a period of time when the Deep Space Network won't be gathering data.
d. A Mars year is about 1.9 Earth years.

Here is the story:
Solar Conjunction: When The Sun Gets In The Way

I am a Navigation Engineer in the Mission Design and Navigation section at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. As a Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter Navigator, my job is to determine where the spacecraft is (orbit determination) and where it is going (orbit prediction). I also keep the spacecraft on course by performing propulsive burns using the spacecraft engines.

The Earth and Mars both orbit the sun. Because Mars is farther away from the sun than is the Earth, the length of a Mars year is longer than the length of an Earth year (1 Mars year is about 1.9 Earth years). These different orbit periods cause the Earth and Mars to sometimes be on opposite sides of the solar system from one another. This event is called Solar Conjunction.

During Solar Conjunction, radio signals transmitted by the Deep Space Network to the Mars Reconnaissance spacecraft (and vice versa) must pass through the solar corona. Due to signal interference, the measurements that the Navigation team use for orbit determination become very noisy. Noisy measurements mean that the Navigation team can't figure out exactly where the spacecraft is and where it is going. Without accurate measurements (and an accurate orbit determination solution), the Mars Reconnaissance spacecraft cannot perform precise targeted science observations. The best thing for the team to do is to "wait out" Solar Conjunction until the signal noise levels go back to normal levels (when Mars re-emerges from behind the sun). For Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, this Solar Conjunction period starts around April 4, 2013, and lasts until May 1, 2013. During this time, science observations are suspended and we won't be receiving any new images.

But not to worry! We should be back to our normal routine in May, so stay tuned!

Answers

Answer:

There is a period of time when the Deep Space Network won't be gathering data.

Explanation:

Solar conjunction is a time at which the sun's orb obscures the Earth and mars from each other. This period prohibits the Deep Space Network to collect data. Thus, option c is correct.

What is Solar conjunction?

Solar conjunction is a phenomenon that occurs once in two years and affects the communication channel between Earth and Mars. During this period the Earth and Mars are at the opposite ends of their orbits away from each other.

The radio signals transmitted during this period from satellites and space crafts get interfered and noisy does not allow accurate measurement and orbit determination.

Therefore, the solar conjunction inhibits the collection of the data.

What symbolized the narrator’s guilt about killing Pluto in Edgar Allan Poe’s short story “The Black Cat”?

Answers

Answer:

C. The patch of white fur

Explanation:

What symbolized the narrator’s guilt about killing Pluto in Edgar Allan Poe’s short story “The Black Cat” is "The patch of white fur".

An excerpt from the story supports that:

"My wife had called my attention, more than once, to the character of the mark of white hair, of which I have spoken, and which constituted the sole visible difference between the strange beast and the one I had destroyed...It was now the representation of an object that I shudder to name—and for this, above all, I loathed, and dreaded, and would have rid myself of the monster had I dared—it was now, I say, the image of a hideous—of a ghastly thing—of the GALLOWS!—oh, mournful and terrible engine of Horror and of Crime—of Agony and of Death!"

From the excerpt, we discover that the patch of white fur on the breast of the second cat brought the guilt of what he had done. As a result of his guilt, he loathed and dreaded the second cat.

Then when he could not find the cat after he murdered his wife, that dread left him. Here is an excerpt:

"The second and the third day passed, and still my tormentor came not. Once again I breathed as a free man.

The monster, in terror, had fled the premises for ever! I should behold it no more! My happiness was supreme! The guilt of my dark deed disturbed me but little. Some few inquiries had been made, but these had been readily answered. Even a search had been instituted—but of course nothing was to be discovered. I looked upon my future felicity as secured."

So this means the second cat, with the patch of white symbolized guilt.

What is Beowulf?

Beowulf is characterized in the poem as a courageous warrior with the stamina of thirty men. Because Beowulf was the only brave and daring man in his day who was powerful enough to challenge Grendel in a battle, he was able to complete the quest to defeat Grendel.

The fact that he overcame Grendel and killed him serves as proof of his strength. Beowulf also defeated Grendel's mother when she arrived to exact revenge for Grendel's demise.

Beowulf engages in a fierce and valiant battle to free his kingdom from Grendel, a monster that is disturbing the peace in his kingdom. The mother of Grendel then makes an attempt to exact revenge, but Beowulf kills her. Later, Beowulf becomes king for fifty years until a dragon begins to threaten the realm. Beowulf fights alongside him as a result, winning the conflict but losing his life.
