I NEED HELP!! For this assignment, you will look at Flood narratives from Ancient Greece (Plato's Laws and Timaeus), Classical Rome (Ovid's Metamorphoses), The Hebrew scriptures or Old Testament (the Genesis account of the Flood), and ancient Mesopotamia (the Epic of Gilgamesh).

After you have read through them, you will compare Ovid's flood to any one other flood narrative. You will then post your response to the discussion board.

Your response must be in complete sentences-- NOT BULLET POINTS-- and MUST address the following things:

1. What are two similarities in the narratives OTHER THAN THE FLOOD?

2. What are two differences in the narratives?

3. Why do you think the stories might be similar?

Then, find ONE OTHER EXAMPLE of a flood narrative from any culture or time period (there are MANY options, so don't use any of the Flood narratives we've looked at so far). Give a brief (3-5 sentence) overview of the story that includes information on what culture or society produced the narrative. This will require you to do some basic research. (The online Encyclopedia Britannica, Encyclopedia. com, or even *shudders* Wikipedia will be sufficient for this assignment.)

explanation:

you only need simple sentences to answer this. just answer these questions.

what do you think annie thinks of the mother? do you think annie believes the mother is a fit mother for helen.

what about the father? what would annie think of him? she might not like him, but does she respect him.

how about the son? would annie think he is the only voice of sanity in an insane place?

what about helen herself? this is the key question. how does she see helen? what do you suppose she thought her first job was going to be.

these aren't hard questions. just state the obvious. annie is not that well educated: she just knows what she has to do. write it that way.

you can do it if you've read the book or seen the play or movie.

taken from the novel “the adventures of huckleberry finn” by mark twain (1884), the author narrates about social issues and norms related to morality, prejudice, and slavery. twain included the excerpt above in order to discuss a moral conflict that huck is in: following the moral values he has received from the society in which he lives. moreover, there are moral issues such as gilt and blame discussed here. in the excerpt above, which is part of chapter xvi, huck faces a dilemma: jim to escape or telling miss watson about jim’s flight. huck feels confused, since by choosing one action or another someone is going to get hurt. both jim and miss watson have him in different ways; jim has protected him and has been very kind with him and miss watson has him with his education. the following sentence is a clear example of the dilemma huck faces when he narrates what his conscience tells him: “what had poor miss watson done to you that you could see her niger go off right under your eyes and never say one single word? ”.

i believe its a. the idea that women need protection from men is a myth.

ian mortimer in his book "the time traveller's guide to elizabethan england" uses a narrative in his style, which successfully conveys a clear description of the life in england in the 16th century. he writes in second person, which makes it comfortable to reader and easy to understand, he captures the readers attention with views of the landscape, the streets, the people including rich and poor. he also depicts some cultural traits from how people behave, eat or what they wear. his descriptions range from the social, economical, the political power to the examples of the life of common people. it could be tell that this book is about social history rather than a   novel.
