Phyllis Wheatley's poetry fits within the XVIII period. Her poetry included ideas and concepts from Christianity, classicism, and hierophantic solar worship. She was influenced by Homer , Virgil and the XVIII's poets: Alexander Pope and Milton. Besides, she wrote ellegies through her poetry; she reflected upon the dead, mainly.  She also  wrote about the sun because solar worship - hierophantic practice - was common in Africa and her parents were sun worshipers themselves. In fact ,autobiographical spiritual narratives were common in poets such as Wheatley.

Describe the plot of the William Tell story. Use complete sentences.
user100 [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

a. William Tell refused to bow to a tyrant. As punishment, he had to shoot an apple off his son's head with an arrow. Tell was an expert archer. He succeeded at the challenge.

B. During the 15th century, in the Swiss canton of Uri, the legendary hero Wilhelm Tell leads the people of the forest cantons in rebellion against tyrannical Austrian rule. Tell himself assassinates the corrupt Austrian governor. The play's underlying theme is the justifiability of violence in political action.

C.  A man is fleeing for his life from imperial troops. Tell steps in and rescues him. Soon, the peaceful Tell is embroiled in his country's fight for freedom, which reaches a high point during the apple shoot in act 3, culminating one act later when he slays Gessler with an arrow.

D. After refusing to pay homage to a Hapsburg liege, Tell was forced to submit to the test of marksmanship. Later, Tell killed the tyrant and went on to many a daring exploit in the service of the Old Swiss Confederacy.
