Explain the war crimes and punishment. In the Odyssey.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: War was never a no-holds-barred fight between opposing states. War is somewhat like boxing, with rules of conduct extending well back into antiquity. For example, when Odysseus counseled the Greek leaders to blockade shipments of food to Troy in an effort to end what had become a protracted siege, his idea was rejected. At that time, it was widely regarded as improper to extend war to noncombatants in the general population by starving them into submission (this may have been based less on humanitarianism than on the value of the enemy's women and children as slaves). It is noteworthy, too, that Odysseus' successful strategy—celebrated "gift" of a horse that ended the Trojan siege and won the war for the Greeks—which brought victory was regarded as somewhat ignoble, since it was obtained through deceit. In fact, had the Trojans managed to win the war despite the Greeks' ploy, Odysseus might have been vilified as the first war criminal rather than celebrated as one of antiquity's heroes. The Nazi defendant Hermann Göring went further, claiming at his trial following World War II that the most important factor in being charged as a war criminal is to be on the losing side. Although there is certainly a much greater chance of this happening to someone on the losing than the winning side, there is far more to being charged with war crimes than simply losing the contest.

Explanation:

Read the excerpt from Animal Farm.
That evening Squealer explained privately to the other
animals that Napoleon had never in reality been
opposed to the windmill. On the contrary, it was he
who had advocated it in the beginning, and the plan
which Snowball had drawn on the floor of the
incubator shed had actually been stolen from among
Napoleon's papers. The windmill was, in fact,
Napoleon's own creation. Why, then, asked somebody,
had he spoken so strongly against it? Here Squealer
looked very sly. That, he said, was Comrade
Napoleon's cunning. He had seemed to oppose the
windmill, simply as a maneuver to get rid of Snowball,
who was a dangerous character and a bad influence.
Now that Snowball was out of the way, the plan could
go forward without his interference. This, said
Squealer, was something called tactics. He repeated a
number of times, "Tactics, comrades, tactics!"
Squealer explains to the other animals that Napoleon
was never opposed to the windmill. How does this
conflict propel the plot forward?
The other animals realize that Squealer and
Napoleon are friends
The other animals realize that Napoleon can be
trusted.
It changes the way the other animals feel about
Napoleon
It changes the way the other animals feel about the
dogs.

Answers

Answer:

The other animals realize that Napoleon can be trusted.

Squealer uses political propaganda to justify Napoleon's power. Napoleon will become more powerful after Squaler's words. Their aim is to convince the other animals that Snowball is not a loyal animal but that Napoleon is really loyal. Then, Napoleon will become extremely  corrupt and authoritarian and new crises will happen.

The conflict was vital in propelling the plot forward as C. It changes the way the other animals feel about Napoleon.

It should be noted that conflict in literature simply means the disagreement that occurs between the characters that are in a literary work.

In this case, the conflict was vital in propelling the plot forward as it changes the way the other animals feel about Napoleon. This occurred after Squealer spoke to the animals about Napoleon.

From the book nothing to envy. What caused Chang-bo to get into trouble with the Ministry for the Protection of State Security?

Answers

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.

What caused Chang-bo to get into trouble with the Ministry for the Protection of State Security was the fact that he realized some injustices and he felt he had the right to express his opinions and emotions although these could annoy other people and the system. That is why he questioned that if they were producing so many boots, why was the reason that he could not afford any boots for his children. That upset the Ministry for the Protection of State Security.

The story of "Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea," was written by author Barbara Demich, and resulted from research she did and the interviews to people who could escape from the North Korean dictatorship.

Read the short passage about the life of Jackie Robinson.

In addition to playing baseball, Jackie Robinson served in the United States Army. Fortunately, he never saw combat. However, during this time, he was arrested and court-martialed for refusing to move to the back of a segregated bus. Ultimately, he was acquitted of these charges and received an honorable discharge. It was after this discharge that Jackie began playing Major League Baseball.

During Jackie’s time, leagues were still segregated, and Jackie was drafted by Branch Rickey to change all of that and integrate baseball. Branch knew Jackie would face some tough times, and Branch made him promise not to fight back when he faced this racism, which often came from his own teammates. Despite all of this, on April 15, 1947, Jackie became the first African-American athlete to play in the major leagues. He led in stolen bases and had an outstanding batting average, earning the honor of Rookie of the Year. In his decade-long career with the Dodgers, Jackie helped his team win the National League pennant several times. In 1955, he helped them achieve the greatest victory of all: the World Series.

1. Whom is Dante speaking to here and what does Dante accuse him of? Why does Dante
think this is a terrible crime?

Answers

Answer:

Dante is speaking to here is Pope Nicholas III.

Dante accused him of being audacious against Charles I and earning money through evil doing.

Dante perceive this to be a terrible crime because, according to him, the Church should not seek secular power.

Explanation:

'Inferno' is an epic poem written by Dante Alighieri in the 14th century. The poem is about Dante's journey through three levels of Hell.

In Canto XIX, Dante and Virgil enters the rim of the third pit of Circle VIII. In this circle, souls of those who are guilty of Simony were there.

In lines 103-105, Dante speaks to Pope Nicholas III, who also committed Simony.

Dante accuses him of being audacious against Charles I of Naples and Sicily. After Nicholas III came to the office of Pope, he ensured to secure land and money for his family, and played trickery on Charles I by asking him to leave his throne as a Roman Senator.

Dante thinks that this is a terrible crime and Nicholas is rightfully placed in the circle and rightfully deserves the punishment because the Pope and the Church should not seek secular power. At that time, Church became corrupted and Pope began to seek secular power in politics, which was abominated by Dante.
