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.

Answer:

The primary purpose of descriptive writing is to describe a person, place or thing in such a way that a picture is formed in the reader's mind. Capturing an event through descriptive writing involves paying close attention to the details by using all of your five senses.

Persuasive writing intends to convince readers to believe in an idea or opinion and to do an action. Many writings such as criticisms, reviews, reaction papers, editorials, proposals, advertisements, and brochures use different ways of persuasion to influence readers.

An autobiography is a non-fiction story of a person's life, written by the subject themselves from their own point of view. Certain autobiographical writing, such as Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, can endure for well over a century and become part of the literary canon.

Biographical writing is a specific form of writing and research that takes as its subject the lives of individuals. As such it concentrates on constructing personal histories, and places them within their social, political and historical context, in order to discover and explain the influences on an individual's life.
