Common Sense
Common Sense
was an instant best-seller. Published in January 1776 in Philadelphia,
nearly 120,000 copies were in circulation by April. Paine's brilliant
arguments were straightforward. He argued for two main points: (1)
independence from England and (2) the creation of a democratic republic.
Paine avoided flowery prose. He wrote in the language of the people,
often quoting the Bible in his arguments. Most people in America had a
working knowledge of the Bible, so his arguments rang true. Paine was
not religious, but he knew his readers were. King George was "the
Pharaoh of England" and "the Royal Brute of Great Britain." He touched a
nerve in the American countryside.

Explanation:
If we take out the narrative functions, characterization and poetic elements from the Greek myths, leaving them only with the functional explanations and rational reading, <u>we lose all the poetic and artistic value, stying with scientific facts.</u>
We can recognize that, at the core, the function of the myths were explanations of the natural events and their rationalization, but we should still leave the <u>literal value that gives them life</u>. This poetic shape of the myths is what gives them <u>artistic beauty and value, imaginative quality, and charm, making them, even today, an important part of literal work and analysis. </u>
