Answer:
Sophocles uses many themes to create one of the greatest Greek tragedies of all time. This lesson will go over the complex themes of 'Oedipus Rex' and how those themes propel the plot of this tragic play.
Fate vs. Free Will
The idea of fate and free will comes up a lot in Oedipus Rex. The characters seek out prophets and oracles to find out what prophecies are in store. For instance, when Oedipus is told his father was not his natural father, he seeks out the oracle of Delphi to find out the truth. The oracle does not actually tell him if his father is actually his natural father; he is only told he will kill his father and marry his mother. Oedipus uses his free will to try and escape the prophecy, yet he ends up fulfilling it, literally, while running from it. Jocasta tries to calm Oedipus by telling him she does not believe in prophecies, since she and Laius were once given a prophecy that did not come true. When she recounts the story, Oedipus shares his own prophecy, yet they try to pretend this is merely a coincidence. We, of course, know otherwise.
In the end, Oedipus accepts that no one can run from fate; however, he states humans are able to use free will in how we respond to fate. After gouging out his eyes, Oedipus states the gruesome action is by his own free will, and not by the will of the gods.
Sight vs. Blindness
The theme of sight vs. blindness is used to show how characters seem capable of only seeing what they want to see. This theme is used in conjunction with irony, as the character that can see the most is actually blind; then, when the character that has the worst vision can actually see the truth, he blinds himself.
In the play, Oedipus claims he will save the people of Thebes from the plague by helping everyone see what they have all been blind to. Only the blind prophet, Tiresias, is able to see the truth about Laius' murderer. Oedipus refuses to see the truth and mocks the prophet's literal blindness. Tiresias warns Oedipus through riddles that he will soon be blind. When Oedipus finally sees the truth, he literally gouges out his eyes so he does not have to see the pain that he has caused or suffered.

1. Why are the weapons stored out of reach? From the odyssey
Answer:
The weapons were stored out of reach so that when Odysseus attacks the suitors, they will not be able to get their hands on any weapon and defend themselves.
Explanation:
Homer's epic narrative "The Odyssey," tells the story of the protagonist Odysseus and his return back from the Trojan War. Though the war had been over long ago, the journey that Odysseus and his men took to get back to Ithaca involves numerous encounters with both gods and men.
In book XIX, Odysseus had returned to his palace and seen the suitors and the turmoil they have created. So, he ordered his son Telemachus to get things ready so that they will execute his plan to secretly attack them while they're unprepared. He asked him to remove the weapons and armors inside, "Make some excuse when the suitors ask you why you have removed it. Say that you have taken it to be out of the way of the smoke, inasmuch as it is no longer what it was when Ulysses went away, but has become soiled and begrimed with soot. Add to this more particularly that you are afraid Jove may set them on to quarrel over their wine, and that they may do each other some harm which may disgrace both banquet and wooing, for the sight of arms sometimes tempts people to use them". This way, when they attack the suitors, they will be left helpless and not reach for any weapon to defend themselves.

2. Infer In lines 126-136, Maya tells a story about a student who immigrates
to the United States from Cambodia. How does this story advance, or add
details to, the plot's rising action?
Explanation:
It adds details to the plot's rising action since Maya is painted as been more intimidated because of her view that she's about to face something scary and embarrassing just as it happened to the student who immigrated to the United States from Cambodia.
Remember, any descriptions of incidents that create suspense, interest, or tensions are referred to as the rising action.
The text indicates that the immigrant may have experienced some inappropriate events. So she is used to feeling that way when she thinks she is in trouble. Although Maya has never undergone the same events as the other immigrant, Maya still feels uneasy and worried about getting in trouble. Maya thinks she has a connection with the immigrant that makes her more frightened that something scary and embarrassing will happen to her, as it did to the immigrant in the story.

To Kill a Mockingbird
Answer:
After church Scout and Cal discuss Cal's use of different languages, Cal's history and Cal's and Zebo's educations.
Explanation:
After visiting Calpurnia's church (a church for black people only) for the first time, Jem and Scout, especially Scout, start asking a bunch of questions to Calpurnia. On their way back home, the kids learned why Cal talked differently among the black community, they learned that she grew up between the Buford Place and the Landin‘, has worked for the Finches and the Bufords all her life and that she moved to Maycomb when Jem and Scout's parents got married. They also learned how Cal and Zebo learned to read: Cal was taught by Miss Maudie Atkinson’s aunt, old Miss Buford, and Zebo was taught how to read by Cal, who used the Bible and the Blackstone’s Commentaries to teach him.
Answer:
- Cal's history
- Cal and Zeebo's education
- Cal's use of different languages
Explanation:
Cal's history comes into play when Scout begins asking about her birthdate, and Cal states that she just has it on Christmas; its easier to remember that way. (Cal does not remember her actual birthday)
Cal and Zeebo's education comes into play when Cal states where she was taught, and Scout proceeds to ask if she taught her son, Zeebo, to which she replies yes.
Cal's use of different languages comes into play when the children ask why she talks like an African-American, even though she knows better.
