Dryope by Thomas Bulfinch

Dryope (DRY-oh-pee) was the wife of Andraemon (an-DREE-mun), beloved by her husband and happy about the birth of her first child. One day she and her sister, lole (EYE-oh-lee), strolled to the bank of a stream that sloped gradually down to the water's edge. Dryope carried her child, a precious burden, at her bosom and nursed him as she walked through the tall grass that grew along the river.

Near the water grew a lotus tree, full of purple flowers. Dryope gathered some and offered them to the baby, and lole was about to do the same, when she noticed blood dropping from the places where her sister had broken them off at the stem. The plant was none other than Lotus, who had been changed into this form by the gods in order to save the goddess from a cruel pursuer. This they learned from the country people when it was too late.

Dryope, horror-stricken when she perceived what she had done, would gladly have run from the spot but found her feet rooted to the ground. She tried to pull them away but could move nothing but her upper limbs. The woodiness crept upward and was slowly invading her body. In anguish she attempted to tear her hair but found her hands filled with leaves. The infant felt his mother's bosom begin to harden and the milk cease to flow. lole looked on at the sad fate of her sister and could do nothing to help. She embraced the growing trunk, as if she would hold back the advancing wood, and would gladly have been enclosed in the same bark.

"Farewell," poor Dryope cried. "If you have any love for me, do not let the axe wound me or the flocks bite and tear my branches. Climb up and kiss me, and while my lips continue to feel, lift up my child so that I may kiss him. I can speak no more, for already the bark advances up my neck and will soon shoot over me." Then the lips ceased to move and life was extinct, but for a few moments longer the branches stayed warm.

Adapted from Bulfinch's version of the ancient Greek myth, "Dryope," 1855.

Step-by-step explanation:

Thoreau states, “… When an acorn and a chestnut fall side by side… bothobey their own laws…” (3). This can be interpreted as success being obtainable withoutthe assistance of another. The acorn and the chestnut are two individuals that are uniquein their own way yet had the same result. The same goes for people; for those reachingthe same goal as another, it is much better to do it under your qualities and your own way.The purpose of this passage was for Thoreau to inform his audience on his viewson the government and its negative affects on civilization. With its restrictions, peoplecannot fully live up to their potential because the bureaucracy will always limit them.Thoreau wants his audience to become successful in their own manor and uses theserhetorical devices to sync with his readers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

●''Owl Creek Bridge'' isn't a first-person narration, meaning that it's not told from the perspective of the main character, meaning Farquhar. Instead, the text comes from a third-person narrator, or told by an external force or character.

●In some sense, Bierce presents readers with an unreliable third-person narrator. The narrator knows, the entire time, that Peyton is dreaming, but tricks readers into thinking that Peyton has escaped. By representing the scenes of Peyton's dream as reality, the narrator toys with the reader's emotions.

●In “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” a couple of shifts throughout the story change the entire story's point of view essentially bewildering readers. For instance, in paragraph five, a shift occurs when Peyton Farquhar closes his eyes right before he is to be hung.

●In paragraph 36 of "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge," Bierce shifts from past tense to present tense. Bierce writes that "now he sees another scene . . . he stands at the gate of his own home." The effect here is that the reader believes Farquhar has truly escaped and made it home.

George and Lennie dream of getting their own farm. George wants the independence that comes with owning his own land, and Lennie wants to have rabbits. Their dream is the central theme in the story. It is their dream that brings them to the ranch, and that dream spreads to Candy and Crooks.

George is small while Lennie is burly in terms of physical size. George is cunning and calculating while Lennie is obtuse and carefree. But from the early scene where the two stopped to drink water, you can already perceive that George is the one who looks after Lennie.
