Apollo did not live always free of care, though he was the most glorious of the gods. One day, in anger with the Cyclopes who work at the forges of Vulcan, he sent his arrows after them, to the wrath of all the gods, but especially of Zeus. Even the divine archer could not go unpunished, and as a penalty he was sent to serve some mortal for a year.
Now there was a certain king in Thessaly, Admetus, and there came to him one day a stranger, who asked leave to serve about the palace. None knew his name, but he was very comely, and moreover, when they questioned him he said that he had come from a position of high trust. So without further delay they made him chief shepherd of the royal flocks.
Every day thereafter, he drove his sheep to the banks of the river Amphrysus, and there he sat to watch them. The country folk that passed drew near to wonder at him. He would pipe for hours in the sun. A simple-spoken man he was, yet he seemed to know much more than he would say, and he smiled with a kindly mirth when the people wished him sunny weather.
Indeed, as days went by, it seemed as if summer had come to stay, and, like the shepherd, found the place friendly. Nowhere else were the flocks so white and fair to see, like clouds loitering along a bright sky; sometimes, when he chose, their keeper sang to them. Then the grasshoppers drew near and the swans sailed close to the river banks, and the countrymen gathered about to hear wonderful tales of the slaying of the monster Python and of a lovely maiden, Daphne, who grew into a laurel tree. In time, the rumor of these things drew the king himself to listen; Admetus, who had been to see the world, knew at once that this was no earthly shepherd, but a god. From that day, like a true king, he treated his guest with reverence and friendliness, asking no questions; and the god was well pleased.

Write an essay (about 200 words) answer the following topic (the essay should include an introduction, 2 body paragraph and a conclusion): Some people think that sending criminals to prison is not effective. Education and job training should be used instead. Do you agree or disagree?

Answers

Answer:

this is essay ----------

Explanation:

Some people think that some types of criminals should not go to prison. Instead they should do unpaid work in the community. To what extent do you agree?

Owing to the great variety of crimes that can be punishable by prison, some people argue that not all criminals are the same and it would therefore be more appropriate to give certain criminals community service instead. I agree that in some cases, prison may not be the best solution and community service would probably have more benefits.

One justification given for prisons is to keep society safe by removing criminals from the outside world. So the first thing to consider is if someone who has broken the law is a danger to other people. In the case of violent crime, there is an argument to keep the perpetrator away from society. However, burglary or possession of drugs, for example, does not involve violence against other people so the criminal does not present a direct danger to anyone in the community. Keeping these types of criminals in prison is expensive for the taxpayer and does not appear to be an effective punishment as they often commit the same crime again when they come out of prison.

Personally, I also believe punishments should reform people so they do not reoffend. A further reason not to put these people in prison is that they may mix with more dangerous and violent criminals, potentially committing a worse crime when they are released. By keeping them in the community, helping others, they not only learn new skills, but they could also develop more empathy and care towards others. If this occurs, society can only benefit.

Critics of this more rehabilitative approach to crime believe that justice should be harsh in order to deter people from committing similar crimes and that community service could be less likely to have that effect. However, there is very little evidence to suggest that long prison sentences deter criminals.

In conclusion, putting criminals who are not a danger to society in prison is expensive and, in my opinion, ineffective, both as a deterrent and as a form of rehabilitation. Community service for non-violent crimes benefits both society and the offender. That said, it would be useful to have more data to work out whether community service or prison is more likely to stop someone reoffending. I strongly believe that decisions on how best to deal with criminals should be based on evidence of what actually works.

how the law , the citizen can protect and support victims of xenophobia ​

Answers

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Explanation:

Acts of discrimination committed by citizens of a particular on vistiors or immigrants is a way to describe xenophobia. It is similar or could be called a form of bigotry, as any act of discrimination on the basis of ethnic, religious, cultural or socula differences is condemnable. Sadly, these acts continue to persist at this very point in time when it could be seen that international relationship between countries are required to foster trade, peace and national development. Hence, it is a onus on not only the government but responsible citizens to act up and do what is required to abolish this mentality.

The government need to come up with both sensitization programmes while also laying down strict regulations and punishment against perpetrators of this dastard act. The citizen on its path need to show more dislike towards the action of their fellow citizens who indulge in this irresponsible acts. Rather Than support them or watch them without lending support, responsible citizens should also stand up against this behavior and challenge their fellow citizens to think and do the right thing.

is this a run-on sentence?

Answers

Answer:

Yes, this is a run-on sentence.

Explanation:

A run-on sentence occurs when two or more independent clauses (also known as complete sentences) are connected improperly. As you can see this is two Sentences such as "You are a good listener." and "Your friendship means so much too me".  As you can see these are two very different things so it should be "You are a good listener" then "Your friendship means so much too me" as the topic is both different. You can only say no if the two subjects on both sentences were the same. So Yes, this is a run-on sentence.

Identify the two themes in the passage, and then explain which details from the passage help identify each theme.

Colleen thanked her tutor profusely, but Lucinda just shook her head and smiled brightly, saying that's what friends are for.
