Which is the underlined one?
One possible theme could be “how a person is affected by growing older”. Shakespeare compares old age to the seasonal shift. The narrator also describes how aging is harsh and ultimately comes to see its inevitability. Hope this helps!
Hm, this is a tough one. If you <em>use</em> this make sure to <u>rearrange</u> some of the sections and add in some of <em>your own words</em>, ok?
Dante Alighieri was a very <em>untraditional</em> writer, for unlike most other writers he sometimes followed the traditions yet he wasn't afraid to deviate and modify the old epic traditions. Most epics tell the adventures of a hero of old who vanquished evil, and to be honest Dante does recount a hero's journey. There is a major difference though between his and traditions though, because he varies this tradition by making himself the <u>theme/hero/subject/ect</u> of the epic called the Divine Comedy.
Epic poets were traditionally pagan and so they would often call on the Muses, known as patron goddesses of the arts, for their inspirations and to help guide their poems. Unlike them Dante was a Christian, and he refused to use the pagan gods <em>"gods"</em> in this epic. Instead he utilizes the Latin poet Virgil whom he calls <em>"my mentor"</em> and Dante's childhood hero Bice Portinari, whom he gave the name Beatrice as guides for the main character throughout the story.
Epics traditionally begin in "media res" which is Latin for "in the middle." Dante follows this tradition, although it's in his own unique way, by beginning the Divine Comedy <em>"halfway through the journey we are living,"</em> or in other words <em>"in the middle of his life"</em>.
Many of the epic poems of this time period state the theme of the poem at the very beginning. Likewise, Dante begins to describes in the first stanzas of his poem his fear and disquiet but then he offers a vision of hope to the readers. He says that <em>"to describe the good discovered there / I here will tell the other things I saw"</em>.

Answer:
1. On the other side of the world
2. Grandmother Spider used teamwork and logic with the buzzard.
3. The babbling brooks and children learn that sometimes change is good and that things aren't always the way they seen.
4. It is true that foxes have dark noses and possums have a bare tail, but it is different because these animals can talk and get along with each other.
5. The story suggests Grandmother Spider is wise and thinks about things before doing them.
6. I think "How Grandmother Spider Stole the Sun" is titled like this because the story is about how the spider used teamwork to get the sun for her and her friends.
7. When Quetzelcoatl got to the Sun, everyone groaned and complained.
"Quetzelcoatl, why do you have to be here? You are boring and bland just like the Earth."
Normally, Quetzelcoatl would have gotten very angry, but after everything he had done, he just cried. Soon, he had filled up the house of the sun with his tears. The water soaked all the musicians. They didn't want to sing ever again. The Sun and its musicians no longer sang. The Earth with all its plants shriveled up and died. Without music the Earth was nothing.
