Read this excerpt from the outsiders. "i’m okay. quit shaking me, darry, i’m okay.” he stopped instantly. "i’m sorry.” he wasn’t really. darry isn’t ever sorry for anything he does. it seems funny to me that he should look just exactly like my father and act exactly the opposite from him. my father was only forty when he died and he looked twenty-five and a lot of people thought darry and dad were brothers instead of father and son. but they only looked alike—my father was never rough with anyone without meaning to be. a universal theme found in this excerpt is that a) big brothers are never sorry. b) fathers can act like brothers. c) family relationships are complicated. d) fathers are never rough with anyone.

I would say C) Family relationships are complicated.

C) family relationships are complicated.

Explanation:

As it is expressed in the excerpt the voice of the narrator is that of the younger brother, that had just been hurt by his older brother, who looked a lot like his father, but didn´t actually act like his father, in the way that his father would never hurt him, so this expresses how family relationships are always complicated, because he was expecting a certain kind of love form his brother that he wasn´t ready or able to give him.

awnser: the oxford dictionary of quotations (oup 1970) has 66 pages of quotations

attributed to the writings of william shakespeare in which there are 2369 quotations,

which may reflect well over 5000 speeches, discussions, observations and comments

that are present in shakespeare’s work. it is largely from those speeches and discussions

on shakespeare’s 37 plays, as well as his, and others’ poems, that examples have been

taken here.

in this book all quotations from his poems and plays have been taken from various

editions of the arden shakespeare.

the writer is very much indebted to the rapid response provided by his son, henry

audley-charles , for cries of , guidance, advice and repairs to his ageing pc, that

henry provided at all hours. without this assistance over the last 3 years this book

could not have been written.

in addition, the writer is much for the kind by discussion and proof readings from

elizabeth macbeth and janet hulse; and for his knowledge of shakespeare’s plays and

poems in discussions with monsieur francis saillart; and especially for years of proof

reading, support and with this book from my wife brenda amy cordeiro. above

all, the debt i owe is to professor david price, vice provost research. he has acted as

the editor and the guide for the whole project. this has been far from easy with

changes repeatedly being made by the author and which continued after professor price

had provided all the editorial structure for this project.
