Beginning with line 1365, what are the key events that the Messenger shares with Eurydice, Creon’s wife?

Answers

The messenger shares entire truthfulness to Eurydice, especially when mentioning that he wont leave out a single detail of the truth.

Explanation:

He mentions this because he prompts why should he ease her mind with an incorrect report, and then suggesting the truth is always best. He shares that he went to the plain, as a guide for her husband and saw from far that Polyneices' dead body was torn apart from dogs. They prayed to Plute and Hecate for restraining the dogs' rage, and then gave a semi-good treatment of the dead body through washing it and burned the remnants on branches.

The Messenger shares with Eurydice, Creon’s wife tells Eurydice the whole truth, especially since he says that he won't omit any part of the truth.

What happened to Creon's wife?

Queen Eurydice is Creon's spouse. Haemon is the only child she has, and she adores him. She kills herself with a knife after discovering that Haemon had passed away as a result of Creon's retaliation against Polynices and Antigone. She berates her husband for inflicting such bad luck upon their family as she passes away.

Eurydice is Creon's wife (no relation to the other mythical Eurydice, the wife of Orpheus). She first appears at the very end of Antigone, in a truly miserable situation.

When Eurydice learns that her son Hameon has passed away, she curses Creon and holds him responsible for the deaths of both of her boys.

Thus, The Messenger shares with Eurydice, Creon’s wife tells Eurydice the full truth, especially since he says that he won't omit any part of the truth.

the high school needs to have a later starting time. Records show that
70 percent of tardy high school students show up before the end of
first period. Some residents believe that this is due to early morning
doctor appointments, but only eight percent of those students had
medical excuses. They are simply sleeping in. Additionally, parents of
younger children complain that they have to wait until 8:45 to see their

Answers

Answer:

She shows a very strong and friendly relationship with her father. It is noticeable that she admires him a lot and he also admires her and pampers her with gifts that make her happy.

Explanation:

Hello. You did not mention the text to which this question refers, but when searching, I was able to find a question like yours and I realized that you are referring to "The Diary of Anne Frank."

By reading the text we can see that Anne and her father have a very close, positive and friendly relationship. Anne sees her father as her greatest inspiration, she loves him a lot and tells him all the aspirations and desires she has. For her, her father never makes a mistake and this is confirmed by the gifts he gives her, which make her very happy and satisfied.

Anne's father also admires her very much and for that reason she pampers and helps her to fulfill her wishes.

"The Diary of Anne Frank" is Anne Frank's real account of anti-Semitic violence in Europe during the advance of Nazi troops in World War II. In addition, the book portrays the life of the Frank family who spent three years in hiding so as not to be taken to the Nazi concentration camps.

Loving....................

The word best describe the author’s attitude toward Marian Anderson is loving.

Who is Marian Anderson?Singer Marian Anderson displayed vocal talent as a child, but her family could not afford to pay for formal training. Members of her church congregation raised funds for her to attend a music school for a year, and in 1955 she became the first African American singer to perform as a member of the Metropolitan Opera in New York City.Despite Anderson's success, not all of America was ready to receive her talent. In 1939, her manager tried to set up a performance for her at Washington, D.C.'s Constitution Hall. But the owners of the hall, the Daughters of the American Revolution, informed Anderson and her manager that no dates were available. That was far from the truth. The real reason for turning Anderson away lay in a policy put in place by the D.A.R. that committed the hall to being a place strictly for white performers.
