Read the passage from "By the Waters of Babylon." After a while, I knew that my belly was hungry. I could have
hunted for my meat, but I did not hunt. It is known that the
gods did not hunt as we do-they got their food from
enchanted boxes and jars. Sometimes these are still found
in the Dead Places-once, when I was a child and foolish, I
opened such a jar and tasted it and found the bod sweet.
But my father found out and punished me for it strictly, for,
often, that food is death. Now, though, I had long gone past

How does the resolution in this passage help develop the

of his people say.
When the narrator avoids the rats, he realizes that he is
going against the teachings of his people, but also doing
what is necessary for his survival.
When the narrator decides to ignore his father's words
and eat the food of the gods, he realizes that he is learning
to make his own choices.

What is implied in this sentence from mark twain's "the ? 1,000,000 bank-note"? i was puzzled, and wanted to discuss the matter a little further, but they didn't; so i took my leave, feeling hurt and insulted to be made the butt of what was apparently some kind of a practical joke, and yet obliged to put up with it, not being in circumstances to resent affronts from rich and strong folk.
