What epic convention does Milton follow in his opening sentence?

English
1 answer:
dolphi86 [110]3 years ago
7 0
Milton begins Paradise Lost by stating the theme of the epic, which is one of several epic conventions.

The first sentence of the poem is actually quite lengthy and tells the reader the poem will involve "Man's first disobedience, and the fruit Of that forbidden tree..." etc. etc.

Other conventions: the style is elevated and formal, and the setting is vast in scope.

cluponka [151]

The answer is between B and D.

The 300 villages in the Lottery are blindly obedient to a tradition that is years and years old. Some things have been dropped and others added and nobody quite knows why.

The beginning of June 28 is just as serene. There are all sorts of interpretations, but nothing hides Jackson's anger about blind tradition that would even sacrifice young children and accept it as being a "good sport."

Tilly is the only one who is justifiably upset. The stones are going to be about her and they will kill her. Being stoned in the Bible was a slow painful process. You weren't killed by being hit. You died by suffocation because the weight of the stones eventually was greater than what the lungs could push up and let down so you could continue breathing.

This stoning is less biological and more what you think stoning should accomplish -- death by loss of blood.  It is a horrible death. Everyone seems to take it for granted -- everyone but Tilly who had to endure it.

If you were writing an essay, you could easily defend A, B and D.  My choice is D, but I wouldn't discount B at all.

Which strategies should be used to answer short answer or essay questions
Firdavs [7]
For short answer skip the ones you don't know and then go back to them at the end. Write the essays first so you don't run out of time. If you don't know the material fully just put down what you do know and then reword it a few ways to make your essay longer. Also, look for clues in the other test questions that could give you information on either responses. Hope that helped!
