(can someone me on this? )

once there lived in the city of chongqing a very wealthy man who lost all his belongings and his treasures and became very poor. he was so poor that he could only earn his living by laboring day and night. one night, extremely late, he lay down to rest. he was exhausted, dejected, and sick at heart. he fell into a deep sleep and dreamt that a wise old soul came to him and said, "your fortune is in the city of beijing; go there and seek it."

the next day, he set out for beijing. he arrived there deep into the night and he lay down to sleep for a bit in a hostel. presently, as fate would have it, a company of thieves entered the hostel. they made their way into the house that adjoined the hostel. soon, the people of the house, aroused by the noise, awoke and cried out, "thieves, thieves! " an alarm was raised and the chief of the police came to their aid with his officers. the robbers made off; but the police entered the hostel and found the man from chongqing asleep there. they cast him into prison, where they kept him for three days. the chief of police sent for him and said, "where did you come from? "

"from chongqing," whispered the man.

"and what brought you to beijing? " asked the chief.

"i saw in a dream an old soul who said to me, 'thy fortune is at beijing; go there at once to find it.' but, when i came here, the fortune that i was promised proved to be an arrest and a jail stay."

the chief of the police laughed until he showed his white, wide, broad teeth. he said to the man from chongqing, "o man of little wit! three times have i seen an old soul in a dream who said to me, 'there is a fashionable house in chongqing, with a fountain in the front garden. under the fountain there is buried treasure— a great sum of money. go there and take it.' of course i did not go. you, on the other hand, you of little wit, have journeyed from place to place, on the faith of a dream, which was but an illusion of sleep."

then the chief of police gave the man from chongqing money, saying, "this is to you get back to your native land."

now, the house that the chief described was the man's very own house in chongqing! when he traveled home, he immediately dug underneath the fountain in his garden and discovered a great treasure! he received an abundant fortune in his own yard!

which character in the story does the author use to give an opinion that might direct us toward the theme?

(a) the chief of police of beijing
(b)the poor man who was once rich
(c) the robbers
(d) the old soul in the dreams

It is A because he laughed and didn't talk to him seriously maybe he just gave him money to go back home, so you see in paragraph seven the police chief said "I saw in a dream an old soul who said to me, 'Thy fortune is at Beijing; go there at once to find it.' But, when I came here, the fortune that I was promised proved to be an arrest and a jail stay." So you see he laughed and that proves my point if he were serious about it he wouldn't have laughed at the poor man.

"the monkey's paw" is a rare story in that the theme is actually stated in the story. sgt. maj. morris tells the whites that the old fakir who put the spell on the paw said, "fate rules people's lives and those who interfere with fate do so to their sorrow." the message is a warning, but mr. white doesn't believe it. even though sgt. maj. morris makes it clear that he tried wishing with unfortunate results and he tries to throw the paw on the fire, mr. white makes a wish for 200 pounds only to find that he receives the money when herbert dies in a factory accident. according to the fakir, then, because mr. white had wished for something he should not have had, his son lost his life.

the second wish that mrs. white encourages him to make is for herbert's return--one week after his death. when the strange knocking begins at the door during the windy night, mr. white panicks, believing that the previously dead but still mangled herbert could have walked home from the cemetary and is now at the door. because he fears what his wife will find if she opens the door, mr. white makes his third wish--for the noise to stop.

therefore, he uses his three wishes and to his sorrow, loses his son and disappoints his wife, who fervently believed that their son was at the door. she wanted him back, regardless of his condition.

Ineed is this a good summary for unit 1 lesson 7 draft the summary for the odyssey part 1, the odyssey part 2, the odyssey part 3, or orpheus and eurydice. remember to use your own words and to focus only on important information. orpheus, ancient greek legendary hero endowed with superhuman musical skills. he became the patron of a religious movement based on sacred writings said to be his own. traditionally, orpheus was the son of a muse and oeagrus, a king of thrace. according to some legends, apollo gave orpheus his first lyre. orpheus’s singing and playing were so beautiful that animals and even trees and rocks moved about him in dance. orpheus joined the expedition of the argonauts, saving them from the music of the sirens by playing his own, more powerful music. on his return, he married eurydice, who was soon killed by a snakebite. overcome with grief, orpheus ventured himself to the land of the dead to attempt to bring eurydice back to life. with his singing and playing he charmed the ferryman charon and the dog cerberus, guardians of the river styx. hades set one condition, however: upon leaving the land of death, both orpheus and eurydice were forbidden to look back. the couple climbed up toward the opening into the land of the living, and orpheus, seeing the sun again, turned back to share his delight with eurydice. in that moment, she disappeared. a famous version of the story was related by virgil in georgics, book iv. orpheus himself was later killed by the women of thrace. the motive and manner of his death vary in different accounts, but the earliest known, that of aeschylus, says that they were maenads urged by dionysus to tear him to pieces in a bacchic orgy because he preferred the worship of the rival god apollo. his head, still singing, with his lyre, floated to lesbos, where an oracle of orpheus was established. the head prophesied until the oracle became more famous than that of apollo at delphi, at which time apollo himself bade the orphic oracle stop. the dismembered limbs of orpheus were gathered up and buried by the muses. his lyre they had placed in the heavens as a constellation. the story of orpheus was transformed and provided with a happy ending in the medieval english romance of sir orfeo. the character of orpheus appears in numerous works, including operas by claudio monteverdi , christoph gluck, and jacques offenbach; jean cocteau’s drama and film orphée; and brazilian director marcel camus’s film black orpheus. if you think it needs plz feel free to tell !
