Why does Daniel feel like everything he's cared about and worked towards is being threatened by Leah?

According to Rosh, Daniel has a soft spot which holds him back from being the fierce, loyal Zealot that he could potentially become. After Simon brings Daniel the news that his grandmother is dying, Daniel returns to the village to find out that his sister is possessed by demons once again. Unlike the other villagers, who fear Leah, Daniel is sympathetic towards his sister. He remembers all of the fun times they had when they...

According to Rosh, Daniel has a soft spot which holds him back from being the fierce, loyal Zealot that he could potentially become. After Simon brings Daniel the news that his grandmother is dying, Daniel returns to the village to find out that his sister is possessed by demons once again. Unlike the other villagers, who fear Leah, Daniel is sympathetic towards his sister. He remembers all of the fun times they had when they were younger and recalls her radiant personality. Daniel realizes that he needs to sacrifice his life on the mountain to return to the village in order to take care of Leah. Although he does not want to leave Rosh's band on the mountain, he cannot stand to see his sister in such a terrible condition. He feels like everything he's worked towards for the last five years has been threatened by her. Instead of making weapons and robbing caravans for Rosh, he will have to provide for Leah in the village. After his grandmother dies, Daniel travels back up the mountain and informs Rosh that he will be living in the village in order to take care of Leah.

What is the meaning of "juggling fiends" in Macbeth?

Macbeth is beginning to realize that the three witches have been deceiving him since he first encountered them. Like jugglers, they have kept changing their forecasts in order create confusion.

This is particularly apparent when the Second Apparition they raise in Act IV,   Scene 1 tells him that no man of woman born can overcome him in hand-to-hand battle--and then Macbeth finds himself confronted by the one man he has been avoiding out of a sense of guilt, and that man tells him: Despair thy charm. And let the angel whom thou still hast serve...

In Martel's Life of Pi, how does writing a diary help Pi Patel build on his leadership skills?

At the end of chapter 73, Pi first divulges the fact that he had started a diary after about a week alone at sea. Pi claims that he wrote about "practical stuff" (208) such as what he caught for food, foreseeable problems and solutions, Richard Parker, and reflections about specific events that occurred. In a sense, Pi is the captain of his ship; therefore, he must take responsibility for himself and his crew. He can...

Why did Tybalt attack and kill Mercutio instead of Romeo, who he had originally been targeting?

Though Tybalt's quarrel is with Romeo, he begins the momentous duel in Act 3 by fighting with and killing Mercutio instead. Tybalt ultimately attacks Mercutio because the garrulous and hot-headed character insults Tybalt and goads him into a duel to protect Romeo's honor. From the beginning of the encounter in Act 3, Scene 1, it's clear that Mercutio is itching for a fight. For instance, when Tybalt signals that he wants to talk to Mercutio...
