Paul Revere's Ride

1 answer:

5 0

1) One difference is that, in the poem, Paul Revere rode by himself. In reality, he rode with a guy named William Dawes and another guy named Samuel Prescott. Another difference is that, in the poem, the events happened on April 18th. In reality, they happened on April 16th.

2) He made Revere a symbol of all the values that were (and still are) important to the country, such as liberty, individuality, freedom, and patriotism.

3) Throughout the poem, he treats Paul Revere as if he was more than just a messenger riding around on a horse yelling out warnings to all the neighbors in town. He is called "a voice in the darkness", which gives a very serious tone to the poem and reminds the reader that this man was doing something very special and important. Also, the poem starts out, "Listen, my children, and you shall hear", and this phrase sounds more formal and serious than, "Hey kids, want to hear a good story?"

In The Tempest, Prospero attempts to restore himself after losing his

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

A. The fickle nature of justice and the desire for control over others.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's "The Tempest" revolves around the story of Prospero and his daughter 'exiled' to an island and forcibly removed from his dukedom. The story delves into the themes of power dynamics, the struggle for authority, love, enslavement, and class structure.

After his dukedom was taken by his brother, Prospero exhibited the need to have power over others by enslaving Caliban and Ariel through manipulation, deception, and charm. This shows how human is so desirous of having some form of control over others and the fickleness of what is just.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
