Answer:

The word "Goddess" refers to freedom, which is part of the main theme of this poem.

Explanation:

In this poem by Phillis Wheatley, the fight for freedom led by General Washington can be seen as the main theme.

The author of the poem uses the word Goddess to emphasize this meaning, because that is what freedom is: a great "Goddess", the one who frees us and lets us live in peace.

Let's look at the following quote from the poem:

Proceed, great chief, with virtue on thy side, 

Thy ev'ry action let the Goddess guide. 

A crown, a mansion, and a throne that shine, 

With gold unfading, WASHINGTON! Be thine.

was humanity better off because it had fire and civilization or worse off because the cost was misery and disease

They were better off. Without the discovery of the uses of fire, mankind would not be here. Fire led to the rapid increase of newer, more advanced tech, such as a sword instead of a club.

What might have motivated the miller to tell the king that his daughter could spin gold from straw in Rumpelstiltskin?

iragen [17]

Answer:

His need to see the king so as to make whatever requests he has makes him decide to tell the king about his daughter's 'supposedly' ability to spin gold from straw.

Explanation:

In the fable of "Rumpelstiltskin" by the Brothers Grimm, the story revolves around a miller's daughter capable of spinning straw into gold. And through this story, the theme of being truthful and being responsible for one's own actions are brought into the fore.

In order to feel or be taken superior, or at least taken seriously, the miller decided to lie to the king by stating that his daughter could spin straw into gold. Greedy as the king was, the king immediately asked for the daughter to prove her father's claim, which resulted in the actual production of gold from straw.

So, the main reason or motivation for the miller to tell the king about his daughter's ability to spin gold from a straw seems to be that he wants to be taken highly or to appear superior.
