The following lines are from Alexander Pope's "An Essay on Criticism." In it, Pope (1688-1744) gives his opinions on the secret

of good writing, opinions that were very consistent with his times. Answer the question below based upon these lines.
Those RULES of old discover'd, not devis'd,
Are Nature still, but Nature Methodiz'd;
Nature, like Liberty, is but restrain'd
By the same Laws which first herself ordain'd.
...
You then whose Judgment the right Course wou'd steer, [5]
Know well each ANCIENT's proper Character,
His Fable, Subject, Scope in ev'ry Page,
Religion, Country, Genius of his Age:
Without all these at once before your Eyes,
Cavil you may, but never Criticize. [10]
Be Homer's Works your Study, and Delight,
Read them by Day, and meditate by Night,
Thence form your Judgment, thence your Maxims bring,
And trace the Muses upward to their Spring;
Still with It self compar'd, his Text peruse; [15]
And let your Comment be the Mantuan* Muse.
...
True Wit is Nature to Advantage drest,
What oft was Thought, but ne'er so well Exprest,
...
True Ease in Writing comes from Art, not Chance,
As those move easiest who have learn'd to dance, [20]



*Mantuan: Mantua was the home of Vergil, the author of the Aeneid.

I'd go with C) Analogy since it's comparing nature to liberty, which are two unalike things.

Based on this text what impression does yellow fever how are you please please answer question first person to answer the questi
jeka94
Hello,

I feel that the yellow fever epidemic was such a devastating time. The yellow fever caused many people to lose the lives leaving behind orphaned children to be put into over crowded orphanages.

Not only, the affects of yellow fever had horrible side effects. As stated in the text, “spewing streams of vomit black with digested clots”. The effects of catching yellow fever was dangerous and usually led to death. The extreme temperatures led to a high population of mosquitoes which must have carried the yellow fever.

If you have any questions I will answer them the to the best of my abilities.

Have a great day,

Why is world building important for futuristic and fantasy novels, and how
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

I think this is probably something you should answer on your own, since it's not multiple choice.

Explanation:

I'm not an expert, but my vague explanation is that world building is important because it might shape how the character acts. The author's work in that area makes the story more realistic and relatable, most likely. But I haven't been taught the lesson, so I'm probably not accurate.
