**WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST TO FIRST ANSWER**Compare and contrast Dade (from “Star Food”) and Julian (from “Everything That Rises Must Converge”) at the end of their respective stories. How are the two characters similar? How are they different?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: At the end, both Dade and Julian both feel very alone in the world, but in very different ways. Julian feels alone physically, because his mother has just died and he is alone without her. Julian also feels alone mentally. He feels superior to others, and this sets him apart from the rest. Dade, on the other hand feels alone because he realizes he won't ever be able to understand everyone around him, and they won't be able to understand him and this puts a barrier between him and everyone else. 
Answer 2
Answer: (of several people or things) come together from different directions so as eventually to meet  Update: I read it. This is like a review of the year and these were months ago. I cant really remember... I know that Julian learned not to be proud and that he truly did love his mother despite what he acted out in the beginning of the story. I also know that Dade learned to be his own person and allow the woman free. I really don't see how they relate though...Update 2: Is EVERYONE happy now? I got the answer (cough cough no thanks to any of you...) At the end, both Dade and Julian both feel very alone in the world, but in very different ways. Julian feels alone physically, because his mother has just died and he is alone without her. Julian also feels alone mentally. He feels superior to others, and this sets him apart from the rest. Dade, on the other hand feels alone because he realizes he won't ever be able to understand everyone around him, and they won't be able to understand him and this puts a barrier between him and everyone else.

Which of the following describes stage directions? a. central message about life B. the meaning behind events and characters’ actions C. explanations about how the actors sound and behave D. writing that is vague and uncertain

Answers

C. explanations about how the actors sound and behave  This is the correct version.

Stage directions are made up of explanations. These give the play readers information about the attitude of the characters and this information makes the play more comprehensible.

These options are not right:

a. central message about life. ( Stage directions are present in a play. They are focused on actors' performance , not on philosophical reflections. A character from the play can give this message  about life).

B. the meaning behind events and characters’ actions. ( Stage directions do not analyse what happens in the play).

D. writing that is vague and uncertain. ( On the contrary, the stage directions have to be clear and certain to guarantee the comprehension of the play).
The answer is c. The stage directions tell you what the characters do and in what way they do it. It also explains what they sound like.

What is the difference between a reaction and an opinion.
Damon and PythiasDamon and Pythias had been the best of friends since childhood. Each trusted the other like a brother, and each knew in his heart there was nothing he would not do for his friend. Eventually the time came for them to prove the depth of their devotion. It happened in this way.Dionysius, the ruler of Syracuse, grew annoyed when he heard about the kind of speeches Pythias was giving. The young scholar was telling the public that no man should have unlimited power over another and that absolute tyrants were unjust kings. In a fit of rage, Dionysius summoned Pythias and his friend.“Who do you think you are, spreading unrest among the people?” he demanded.“I spread only the truth,” Pythias answered. “There can be nothing wrong with that.”“And does your truth hold that kings have too much power and that their laws are not good for their subjects?”“If a king has seized power without permission of the people, then that is what I say.”“This kind of talk is treason,” Dionysius shouted. “You are conspiring to overthrow me. Retract what you’ve said, or face the consequences.”“I will retract nothing,” Pythias answered.“Then you will die. Do you have any last requests?”“Yes. Let me go home just long enough to say goodbye to my wife and children and to put my household in order.”“I see you not only think I’m unjust, you think I’m stupid as well,” Dionysius laughed scornfully. “If I let you leave Syracuse, I have no doubt I will never see you again.”“I will give you a pledge,” Pythias said.“He will keep his word,” Damon replied. “I have no doubt of that.”“What kind of pledge could you possibly give to make me think you will ever return?” Dionysius demanded.At that instant Damon, who had stood quietly beside his friend, stepped forward.“I will be his pledge,” he said. “Keep me here in Syracuse, as your prisoner until Pythias returns. Our frienship is well known to you. You can be sure Pythias will return so long as you hold me.”Dionysius studied the two friends silently. “Very well,” he said at last. “But if you are willing to take the plce of your friend, you must be willing to accept his sentence if he breaks his promise. If Pythias does not return to Syracuse, you will die in his place.”Pythias was allowed to go free for a time, and Damon was thrown into prison. After several days, when Pythias failed to reappear, Dionysius’s curiosity got the better of him, and he went to the prison to see if Damon was yet sorry he had made such a bargain.“Your time is almost up,” the ruler of Syracuse sneered. “It will be useless to beg for mercy. You were a fool to rely on your friend’s promise. Did you really think he would sacrifice his life for you or anyone else?“He has merely been delayed,” Damon answered steadily. “The winds have kept him from sailing, or perhaps he has met with some accident on the road. But if it is humanly possible, he will be here on time. I am as confident of his virtue as I am of my own existence.”Dionysius was startled at the prisoner’s confidence. “We shall soon see,” he said and left Damon in his cell.The fatal day arrived. Damon was brought from prison and led before the executioner. Dionysius greeted him with a smug smile.“It seems your friend has not turned up,” he laughed. “What do you think of him now?”“He is my friend,” Damon answered. “I trust him.”Even as he spoke, the doors flew open, and Pythias staggered into the room. He was pale and bruised and half speechless from exhaustion. He rushed to the arms of his friend.“You are safe, praise the gods,” he gasped. “It seemed as though the fates were conspiring against us. My ship was wrecked in a storm, and then bandits attacked me on the road. But I refused to give up hope, and at last I’ve made it back in time. I am ready to receive my sentence of death.”Dionysius heard his words with astonishment. His eyes and his heart were opened. It was impossible for him to resist the power of such constancy.“The sentence is revoked,” he declared. “I never believed that such faith and loyalty could exist in friendship. You have shown me how wrong I was, and it is only right that you be rewarded with your freedom. But I ask that in return you do me one great service.”“What service do you mean?” the friends asked.“Teach me how to be part of so worthy a friendship.”The first paragraph of this story mostly provides the reader with __________. a. the crisis or turning point in the storyb. the specific obstacles the characters will facec. complications that contribute to the rising actiond. information to establish characters and background
