Answer:
C) “At that moment he was thinking of Aegisthus, who had been killed by Agamemnon's son Orestes; so he said to the other gods…”
Statement B best demonstrates the narrator's point of view, as it shows the narrator actively seeking and recounting knowledge about a hero's travels from the Muse. However, statements C and D also show the narrator's perspective as they provide insights on characters' thoughts and actions.
The evidence demonstrating the narrator's point of view can be discerned from all the presented sentences, but the best example would be option B) “Tell me, O Muse, of that ingenious hero who travelled far and wide after he had sacked the famous town of Troy.” This statement clearly demonstrates the narrator's perspective as it shows the narrator actively seeking knowledge or drawing from a source, in this case the Muse, about the hero's adventures.
Similarly, statement A could also provide some insight into the narrator's point of view, as it also references seeking knowledge from a deity (daughter of Jove). Nevertheless, in statements C and D the narrator conveys information about characters' thoughts and their locations, respectively, without explicitly seeking it from them, so it is the narrator's point of view that we are getting simply by description of actions and thoughts of the characters such as Orestes or Neptune.

Serene the silver fishes glide,
Stern-lipped, and pale, and wonder-eyed!
As through the aged deeps of ocean,
They glide with wan and wavy motion.
They have no pathway where they go,
They flow like water to and fro,
They watch with never-winking eyes,
They watch with staring, cold surprise,
The level people in the air,
The people peering, peering there:
Who wander also to and fro,
And know not why or where they go,
Yet have a wonder in their eyes,
Sometimes a pale and cold surprise.
One theme of the poem is
A. people should accept people for who they are.
B. people and animals are not so different after all.
C. aquariums are jails for fish and should not exist.
D. fish in aquariums enjoy looking at the people.
Please comment the letter and include an explanation if possible. I want to know why that is the answer you chose.
Answer:
The best answer to your question: One theme of the poem is:___, would be B: people and animals are not so different after all.
Explanation:
"At the Aquarium" is short poem that was written by American poet and philosopher Max Eastman and which was later on published in the Modern American Poetry in 1919.
Although the poem may have other themes, one that really comes to the forefront of the whole thing is the comparisson that arises, or rather the similarity that arises, between the fish in the aquarium, who are being stared at by people, and the people themselves, whose activities seem to be no different, their actions and reactions also, to those of the fish. For example, at first the speaker tells us that the fish "they watch with staring, cold surprise..." then, the poet also says about people: " Yet have a wonder in their eyes, Sometimes a pale and cold surprise." Another similarity that appears in the poem and that shows that people and animals are not so different after all is when both species are said to be wondering around, without a clear path, or without knowing where they are going; only that both are moving back and forth, both in a "to and fro" motion.

Answer:
Turner does not like how his father treats him
Explanation:
External conflict happens outside of the character usually between other characters or forces.
Ernesto Galarza ("Barrio Boy") utilizes details to make the demeanor or tone of his memoir. He depicts his new school in America in detail contrasting it with his old school in Mexico to express his feelings toward the new school. He has different emotions too: intimidation, fear, unsureness.
The details focus upon the character is coming into another school without recognizing what's in the store since he doesn't talk the dialect nor does he think about their way of life.
He expounds on how tall Miss Hopley and Miss Ryan were offering his tone of thanks and gratification for them just as recognizing their significance in his life. His tone all through the extract we read is that of gratefulness toward this school and how they enabled him to wind up "American" while remaining Mexican.
