How does the real-life Dante differ from the fictional Dante?

Answers

The author Dante writes from a future point of view.  He gives clues to what will happen to his character self.  What happens to Dante the Character is prophecy while to Dante the Author it is history.  You can say that the author version is wiser and more mature than the character version.


I ASKED THAT QUESTION BEFORE

Answer:

The real Dante has uncompromising ideas about religion and human nature.

Explanation:

A family drove 1/5 of the total distance to the coast on the first day. They drove 2/5 more of the distance to the coast on the second day. How much of the total distance had the family traveled on the two days? A. 2/25 B. 3/10 C. 3/5 D. 1/5

Answers

Your answer is c. 3/5. You just add 2/5 and 1/5 together (your denominator never changes when you are adding the same denominator). You would basically just do 2 + 1=3
travel distance on first day - 1/5 (0.2)
travel distance on second day - 2/5 (0.4)
total distance traveled on two days - 1/5+2/5 (or) 0.2+0.4

1/5+2/5 (or) 0.2+0.4
[as the two denominators are same we can just add the numerators]
3/5 (or) 0.6

Therefore, the family traveled 3/5 (0.6) on two days. So the answer is C. 3/5

Read "The Tortoise and the Hare." What is the Hare thinking about while he's asleep? In a paragraph of at least three sentences, write a dream sequence to add to the fable. A Hare was one day making fun of a Tortoise for being so slow upon his feet. "Wait a bit," said the Tortoise; "I'll run a race with you, and I'll wager that I win." "Oh, well," replied the Hare, who was much amused at the idea, "let's try and see"; and it was soon agreed that the fox should set a course for them, and be the judge. When the time came both started off together, but the Hare was soon so far ahead that he thought he might as well have a rest: so down he lay and fell fast asleep. Meanwhile the Tortoise kept plodding on, and in time reached the goal. At last the Hare woke up with a start, and dashed on at his fastest, but only to find that the Tortoise had already won the race.(sorry this is a lot.. but you get 21 points.. i'm horrible everything english && im really behind) + no stolen work.
