Any one ? Which elements would readers likely find in an American gothic story? Check the four best answers.

Match the lines from Christopher Marlowe’s The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus to their correct allusions.

Effectus [21]

1. Icarus and Daedalus: swoll'n with cunning of a self-conceit,

His waxen wings did mount above his reach,

And melting heavens conspired his overthrow.

Icarus and Daedalus are two characters (son and father) in a Greek myth. Thay are credited with inventing a new way to fly. Daedalus designed wings that were made of feathers and wax in order to escape from Crete. However, due to his arrogance, Icarus flew too close to the sun, and the wax on his wings melted. He fell to his death.

2. The Trojan War: Her lips suck forth my soul: see, where it flies!--

Come, Helen, come, give me my soul again.

Here will I dwell, for heaven is in these lips,

And all is dross that is not Helena.

I will be Paris, and for love of thee.

We can see that this is a reference to the Trojan War because it discusses both Helen, considered the most beautiful woman in the world, and Paris, the man who is in love with her. She was abducted by Paris, and her husband Menelaus started the Trojan War in order to bring her back to Sparta.

3. A symbol of fame and reward, belonging to the god of divination:

Cut is the branch that might have grown full straight,

And burned is Apollo's laurel bough,

That sometime grew within this learned man.

The symbol of fame and reward in this excerpt is the laurel. This was used in ancient times to represent victory and success.

What evidence does marris use to support her claim that the “notion of the Everglades as a paradise is relatively new”?

Sav [38]

Marris supports her claim that "the image of the Everglades as a paradise is relatively recent" with a passage from Michael Grunwald's book on the history of the Everglades, which says people used to conceive of the location as a "worthless quagmire."

<h3>What is the central idea in Emma Marris: In Defense of Everglades Pythons?</h3>

"In Defense of Everglade Pythons," Emma Marris' blog, demonstrates that humans have influenced the interactions between the previously existing ecosystem inside the Florida Everglades, by the recent arrival of pythons, "It's the blame-the-invasive species narrative."

One primary approach that people have inadvertently used to alter nature is introducing a new species into an existing functioning ecosystem. As a result, people had had great power over nature in the United States since 1492, when Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue. Humans have changed the ecosystem and how new species will evolve.

Note that in literature, when you make a claim or assert anything, you are demanding it or asserting that it is true.
