What does gene's apprehensiveness to jump from the tree, his competition with finny, and his fear about going against the rules make him?
a. cowardly
b. cautious
c. insecure
d. smart

I chose c. insecure.  The truth is that he was jealous of Finny and when shakes the branch and cause Finny to fall and break his leg, he felt guilty because of that, he has haunted by that all his life.  He was really of Finny’s carefree attitude whereas he felt burdened by so many things.

what motivates odysseus to tell a lie to the cyclops

hey there

use of language is very important in order to write in a good way. each literary genre has its different exploitation of language and, therefore, many differences and similarities can emerge. shakespeare's work (romeo and juliet) is a sample of a drama. its language is full of dialogue to describe the beauty of first love in people; everything it's pink color. it briefly describes fictional scenes and situations. on the other hand, the calypso borealis, by john muirs, it's narrative essay: its language is full of descriptions to describe an experience, a real experience. hyperbole is not used as in drama genre. he falls in love with discovering a real place and his direct feelings.

hope this !
