Read the Greek myth "Midas" retold by Thomas Bulfinch and answer the question. [1] Bacchus, on a certain occasion, found his old schoolmaster and foster-father, Silenus, missing. The old man had been drinking, and in that state wandered away, and was found by some peasants, who carried him to their king, Midas. Midas recognized him, and treated him hospitably, entertaining him for ten days and nights with an unceasing round of jollity. [2] On the eleventh day he brought Silenus back, and restored him in safety to his pupil. Whereupon Bacchus offered Midas his choice of a reward, whatever he might wish. He asked that whatever he might touch should be changed into gold. Bacchus consented, though sorry that he had not made a better choice. [3] Midas went his way, rejoicing in his new-acquired power, which he hastened to put to the test. He could scarce believe his eyes when he found a twig of an oak, which he plucked from the branch, become gold in his hand. He took up a stone; it changed to gold. He touched a sod; it did the same. He took up an apple from the tree; you would have thought he had robbed the garden of the Hesperides. His joy knew no bounds, and as soon as he got home, he ordered the servants to set a splendid repast on the table. Then he found to his dismay that whether he touched bread, it hardened in his hand; or put a morsel to his lip, it defied his teeth. He took a glass of wine, but it flowed down his throat like melted gold. [4] In consternation at the unprecedented affliction, he strove to divest himself of his power; he hated the gift he had lately coveted. But all in vain; starvation seemed to await him. He raised his arms, all shining with gold, in prayer to Bacchus, begging to be delivered from his glittering destruction. Bacchus, merciful deity, heard and consented. "Go," said he, "to River Pactolus, trace its fountain-head, there plunge yourself and body in, and wash away your fault and its punishment." He did so, and scarce had he touched the waters before the gold-creating power passed into them, and the river sands became changed into gold, as they remain to this day. Select two key details that could be included in a summary of the myth. Bacchus granted Midas's wish to have the golden touch. Bacchus sometimes found his teacher Silenus missing. Midas entertained Silenus in his kingdom for ten days. Midas received a wish for returning Silenus to Bacchus. Silenus was found by peasants and carried to Midas.
Answer:
"Midas received a wish for returning Silenus to Bacchus."
"Bacchus granted Midas's wish to have the golden touch."

if you had the chance to be someone else, who would you choose to be? explain what would be good about being that person, and what might be difficult
Answer:
Æthelflæd, Lady of the Mercians
Explanation:
If I had the chance, I would choose to be Æthelflæd, daughter of King Alfred the Great. She was a strong and fearless woman who participated in battles against Viking raids in England's old heptarchy during the tenth century.
It would be good to be Æthelflæd because she was not afraid to fight in battle for her country next to and against an army of violent men. Thus, she grew into an inspiring figure at a time when women were property of men. In fact, when her husband Æthelred became ill, she ruled Mercia, even though women were not usually powerful.
On the other hand, Æthelflæd must have found it difficult to make her path and maintain her power against so many men in a terribly sexist and competitive society. Besides, in those times there did not exist many technological or medical advances, so it must have been hard to live in cold weather, with poor hygene habits and the spread of diseases. In fact, she died quite young, at about the age of forty-eight.
Is the argument above inductive or deductive? Why? It is deductive because it is based on a principle or rule. It is deductive because it is based on personal experience. It is inductive because it is based on a principle or rule. It is inductive because it is based on personal experience.

Two quotes that show the transformation/change of the character ‘Clary Fray’
Book- City of bones
(The mortal instruments book one)
Answer:
"She wasn’t even sure why it was that she liked it—the clothes, the music made it like a dream, someone else’s life, not her boring real life at all. But she was always too shy to talk to anyone but Simon."“Have you had dealings with demons, little girl? Walked with warlocks, talked with the Night Children? Have you—” “My name is not ‘little girl,’” Clary interrupted.Explanation:
There is a lot of evidence in the book that shows us all the great changes and transformations that Clary has undergone as the story progresses.
But let's look at these two cases.
First we have the change at the beginning, where for her birthday Clary decides to go to a totally different club in her style. She dresses differently and listens to different music than she is used to. In fact in this club all her story begins. It also shows us that Clary is actually a shy person so we can see the first change here.
In the other quote we can see a brave Clary who responds with a "My name is not‘ little girl, ’. Here we notice how her character has grown a lot and has stopped being that shy and cowardly little girl.
Answer:
"If there was one thing she was learning from all this, it was how easy it was to lose everything you had always thought you'd have forever.”
“That sounds terrific, thought Cary, just you, your comatose wife your shell-shocked son, and your daughter who hates your guts. Not to mention that your two kids may be in love with each other. Yeah, that sounds like a perfect family reunion.”
Explanation:
So, in book one Clary first sees jace,izzy, and alec in the pandemonium. The next day a demon kidnaps her mom and destroys her apartment. She goes to the institute learns about the shadow world and tries to retrieve her memories. She meets Magnus Bane he tells her she can't retrieve her memories. She falls in love with Jace, Simon and her get into a huge arguement, alec hates her because he's in love with him too, and she and Izzy become friends. She learns Valentine is her father her mother is a shadowhunter and Luke the man she knew all her life her dad was a shadowhunter and now a werewolf because of her actually dad valentine. Hodge is a traitor and She also finds out that Jace is her "brother".
These quotes show how much shes changed since the beginning of the book.

The author uses a word that means "a brief venture into a new field" in the text. Choose the word in the paragraph that MOST CLOSELY matches this meaning.
Over the past 50 years, American and Soviet scientists have utilized the animal world for testing. Despite losses, these animals have taught the scientists a tremendous amount more than could have been learned without them. Without animal testing in the early days of the human space program, the Soviet and American programs could have suffered great losses of human life. These animals performed a service to their respective countries that no human could or would have performed. They gave their lives and/or their service in the name of technological advancement, paving the way for humanity's many forays into space.

In the Ancient Greek tragedy, Antigone, the main character Antigone arrives in Thebes to prevent a prophecy that predicts her brothers will kill each other in battle. She arrives to find that she is too late; her brothers are already dead and her uncle, King Creon, has forbidden the burial of her brother Polyneices, having decided that he was a traitor. Antigone defies her uncle’s orders and buries her brother anyway. In fury, Creon throws her in jail, but is soon convinced by others to release her. Creon goes to the jail to give Antigone her freedom, but finds that she is dead, having killed herself in despair. Which is the falling action of Antigone? Antigone's decision to defy Creon's orders and bury her brother Creon's decision to pardon Antigone and release her from jail Creon's discovery that Antigone has hanged herself in her jail cell The battle between the two brothers which resulted in their deaths
Answer:
Creon's discovery that Antigone has hanged herself in her jail cell.
Explanation:
The following is the definition of falling action:
"Falling action occurs right after the climax, when the main problem of the story resolves. It is one of the elements of the plot of the story, the other elements being exposition, rising action, climax, and resolution. Falling action wraps up the narrative, resolves its loose ends, and leads toward the closure."
In this situation, I would be confident in saying that the climax was Antigone hanging herself - the discovery of Antigone in her cell dead would be her falling action, occurring right after the climax, leading towards closure.
The falling action of Antigone is: Creon's discovery that Antigone has hanged herself in her jail cell.
The falling action is what transpires after the climax and resolution of the story has been reached.
In this description of events, we find that the event that happened after the climax (Throwing Antigone in jail) is the discovery of Antigone's dead body.
At this point, there is little anyone can do to avert this occurrence.

These variables add to understudies' prosperity, eliminating the extra tensions of choosing what to wear and added pressure of living up to the assumptions of their companions.
