It is a very hot morning and you are expecting the day to just get hotter. you have noticed that one of your preschool children, max, has not been at school for the past week. the parents have not contacted the school indicating what has caused these absences. as you greet children coming in, you see max. he usually comes running and smiling to give you a big hug, but this morning he’s quiet. max is wearing dirty long jeans and a long-sleeved shirt with purple jelly on the front. his mom says, “max has been sick. he spilled his toast on him in the car. he’s not careful.” she leaves and you pat his back and he moves away to go sit alone. you notice that he is rubbing his side as if it hurts and is huddled over. during group time, another child accidentally bumps into max. max pushes the child and says, “get out of here! ” you haven’t heard max say words like that or push other children. what would you do? what might be going on with max?

the correct answer option for this is: false.

explanation:

we are given the following statement 'hawthorne thought of himself as a novelist' which is false.

the truth is that nathaniel hawthorne thought of himself as a romancer, rather than a novelist.

though it is ironic of him of him to consider himself a romancer rather than a novelist despite of the innocent women killings in the salem witch trials which occurred in colonial massachusetts between 1692 and 1693 .

throughout the ancient epic of gilgamesh, the protagonist, gilgamesh of course, exhibited many character traits that made him a true epic hero. one great trait that gilgamesh acquires of an epic hero is that he's a courageous and confident leader. in the text enkidu is too afraid to fight, but he's positive that gilgamesh has the ability to triumph against humbaba. gilgamesh tells enkidu to not be afraid and then continues on to remind him of all the victories he's had against similar foe. gilgamesh proves that he's confident by encouraging enkidu and shows he's courageous when enkidu ask gilgamesh to battle humbaba alone because he knows that gilgamesh will reign victorious.

another characteristic that makes gilgamesh an epic hero is that he's brave and takes risks. "dread surged through gilgamesh, terror flooded his muscles, his heart froze, his mouth went dry, his legs shook, his feet were rooted to the ground. / gilgamesh felt his courage return. they charged at humbaba like two wild bulls." when reading the first part of the quote you see that gilgamesh is terrified of humbaba, and realizing that humbaba is the antagonist he's about to battle is taking a big risk. gilgamesh soon shows how brave he is by not letting his fear of humbaba overtake him, instead he went charging into the face of fear and triumphs.
