Which direction is the narrator forbidden to travel, according to his father? • east
•west
•north
•south

The correct answer is east!!! You welcome

East.

Explanation:

Stephen Vincent Benét's short story "By the Waters of Babylon" is a story about a post-apocalyptic world where metal remains the most dreaded yet important item/ element. The story follows newly appointed priest John and his journey to the Dead Lands, and his desire for more knowledge leading him to the forbidden "Place of the Gods".

The story begins with the lines "The north and the west and the south are a good hunting ground, but it is forbidden to go east. It is forbidden to go to any of the Dead Places." And later on, when the narrator is about to venture on his own as a priest, away from the presence of his father, his father told him "It is forbidden to travel east. It is forbidden to cross the river. It is forbidden to go to the Place of the Gods. All these things are forbidden."

Thus, the correct answer is east.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
