How do Aeneas’s piety and sense of duty change as the poem unfolds?

English

Ierofanga [76]3 years ago
3 0
From the very beginning of the poem, Aeneas is aware that he has to follow the course of his destiny - and not the destiny he has chosen, but the one that was chosen for him (we might even say: imposed upon him) by the gods. However, even though he knows this, he is utterly unhappy about it and finds it difficult to leave behind everything that is dear to him. He sincerely grieves for his love with Dido, whom he has to leave. But in time, he gets to understand that his cause is a really worthy one.

The most significant shift in his character's development happens in Book 6, when he meets his father Anchises in the underworld. Anchises unravels to his son the future of the empire that he is to build. That is the decisive moment, when Aeneas realizes that all his personal sacrifice isn't for nothing. Hitherto, he had had many doubts and second thoughts about this sacrifice. But from that moment on, he will invest all his mental strength in his leadership, and commit fully and enthusiastically to his grand mission.

In at least 150 words, discuss how the popularity of such works as Benjamin Franklin’s Poor Richard’s Almanack and “The Way To W
Kryger [21]

Benjamin Franklin's "The Way To Wealth" signifies the change from the "puritan plain" writing style to the "protestant work ethic" style. In fact, it wasn't just the writing style that changed, it was American values, traditions, nationalism, and culture that changed during this time as well. The popularity of The Way To Wealth showed that more and more Americans were concerned with higher levels of intellectual knowledge, than they did for futile religious dogma and rhetoric. Furthermore, Americans didn't love with being a colony of the British Empire, so this area in time also represented a gradual change in the American value of British nationalism, to American nationalism. Therefore, besides the fact that Americans were switching from the puritan faith to the protestant doctrine, they were also beginning to change their values in regards to education and British nationalism. The reason being, they no longer wanted education for the rich, but they wanted it for everyone and they weren't fond of being taxed a lot by Great Britain.

Please it’s literature I need it now
Ainat [17]
A serpent and an elephant. It was a town of machinery and tall chimneys, out of which interminable [unending] serpents of smoke trailed themselves for ever and ever, and never got uncoiled. It had a black canal in it, and a river that ran purple with ill-smelling dye, and vast piles of building full of windows where there was a rattling and a trembling all day long, and where the piston of the steam-engine worked monotonously up and down, like the head of an elephant in a state of melancholy madness.

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

Herbivores eat only plants. Similarly, carnivores eat only meat.

The lion grew so hungry that it began looking food food.

A gazelle is not as fast as a cheetah, but it can run longer periods of time.

Explanation:

<u>"Similarly" serves to compare. It commonly appears at the beginning of a sentence in which the information presents similarities with an idea or fact that has already been pre</u>sented. An example with "similarly" is:

- Cats are scared of dogs. Similarly, dogs are not very fond of cats.

<u>"So... that" is used with an adjective. The purpose is to amplify that adjective to imply that the characteristic or feeling it describes led to a certain result or consequence.</u> An example with "so... that" is:

- I was so disappointed that I left the room immediately.

<u>"As.. as" is also used with an adjective, and it also indicates a comparison. It shows - unless the sentence is negative, of course - that two people or things are at the same level when it comes to a certain attribute.</u> Example:

- Josh is as talkative as his brother Leon.
