In Christopher Marlowe's The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus, why did Faustus begin to believe that human salvation was impos
sible? Faustus first began to believe that human salvation was impossible because:
[he felt God always hate him because of his sins and punish him]
[he felt he had committed too many sins and so his soul could not be saved]
[he read the scripture and saw that all human beings sin and are D word]
[he felt ashamed to ask God for mercy and suffered from depression]
In addition, he had:
[been misled by Mephastophills, who caused him to misread the scriptures]
[offered the blood of children to gain his power and felt his sin was unforgivable]
[been disgusted by the pettiness of human nature]
[been tricked into practicing witchcraft by Valdes and Cornelius and felt it D word his soul]
Wallace places emphasis on the word "adjust" because he is addressing our realities and way of thinking as "default." He expresses the importance of paying attention to your surroundings, and adjusting to other perspectives and ways of thinking. He compares our ignored experiences to the water fish swim in but were never taught to notice.
Jem and Scout agree to leave the items for a few days before taking them, just to make sure the gifts are for them. Jem believes the gifts are from Boo, but he isn't sure..... at least until Mr. Radley fills up the hole.
