Answer 1
Answer:

Answer: A.He juxtaposes Creon, who is figuratively blind to the gods’ laws, with Teiresias, who is literally blind but can see and communicate the will of the gods.

In Antigone, Creon is a character who is unconcerned by the gods' law. Instead, he listens to the will of men. This character can be considered to be figuratively blind to divine law. His foil is found in Teiresias. Teiresias is a blind prophet who tells Creon that his decision is not approved by the gods. While the prophet is blind to the real world, he can see the world of the gods better than Creon ever will.

In chunk 4 for how does the relationship between Jing meis mother and auntie Lindo contribute to the conflict between jing mei and her mother in the story ?

Answers

Answer and explanation:

Jing-mei, her mother, and aunt Lindo are characters in Amy Tan's short story "Two Kinds". Jing-mei is a willful and intelligent child, but she is not happy with her mother's expectations of her. Jing-mei's mother wants her to become a child prodigy, a Chinese Shirley Temple or something of the kind. At the beginning, the daughter is a bit excited about the idea of receiving so much attention and being recognized for her talents. After a while, however, she gets bored from the hard work and impositions, and decides to disappoint her mother.

Aunt Lindo has a daughter similar in age to Jing-mei. When she comes to Jing-mei's house to visit, she is constantly complaining about her daughter. She says she's tired of having to clean all the trophies her daughter wins in chess competitions. That veiled bragging only fuels Jing-mei's mother's ambition even more. She becomes determined to prove that her own child is also a genius, tha she deserves more fame and attention than her friend's daughter. That attitude, of course, is not aligned with Jing-mei's. The relationship between her own mother and aunt Lindo becomes another source of nuisances and expectations for her future.
Oo is this the joy luck? I just read that at school! Anyways, they are both competitive, auntie Lindo is showing off, but jing meis mom is just making things up to make her jealous. Auntie lindo believes that she is good until the talent show

They spend most of their lives at sea, but they do come to shore for one purpose - to lay eggs. A mother sea turtle's hind flippers are like a steam shovel, digging through layers and layers of sand. She digs a nest and lays hundreds of eggs. Why lay so many eggs? Baby sea turtle eggs, once they are buried, are on their own. When the time is right, on a moonlit night, the baby turtles dig their way out of the nest and scurry to the sea to begin life in the ocean. But they have to beware! Many other animals are predators of baby sea turtles. Little is known about the life of these fascinating animals once they reach the sea, but scientists are getting more information every day!
