"Historia von D. Johann Fausten" is the earliest narration of the legend of Faust written by an anonymous German author and published by Johann Spies in Frankfurt, Germany in 1587. It became the inspiration of Christopher Marlowe’s play entitled "The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus". Marlowe retains the following three story elements from the original legend:
<em>Faustus visits the Pope.</em> This happens during his third exploratory journey. Becoming invisible he demands to witness all the luxuries inside the Pope’s Palace. He remained there, unseen, for three days and three nights.
<em>The agreement between Faust and the Devil is signed in Faustus' own blood.</em> The agreement contained three clauses, the second of which indicated that a sample of Faustus’ blood would authenticate the negotiation. Doctor Faustus, pierced open a vein in his left hand using a pocketknife.
<em>The Devil serves Faustus for 24 years. </em>Based on the first clause of the agreement, Faustus agrees to give his soul to the Devil, that is become his property at the expiration of a certain number of years. In both the original and Marlow’s narration, this period was of 24 years, during which the Devil, by means of the demon Mephistophilis would be at Faustus’ service.
Like, you have no choice but to do it.
2 times x(the unknown number to solve for) minus 1 equals 8+7
2x-1=8+7 8+7=15
2x+1=15 Now we have to get x by itself
In order to do that you add 1 from both sides
2x=16 Then you divide 2 from both sides
x=16/2
x=8
Answer:
His neck ached horribly; his brain was on fire, his heart, which had been fluttering faintly, gave a great leap, trying to force itself out at his mouth.
Explanation:
Ambrose Bierce's "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" is a short story that tells the story of the hanging of Peyton Farquhar because of his crime of attempting to help destroy Owl Creek's railroad bridge. The story focuses on his dream where he escapes the execution but in reality, he was hanged. The story oscillates between the dream and reality.
Understanding that the narration oscillates between the desire to escape/the dream and the reality of the situation, it is difficult to know which is which. But in the given passage, the sentence that shows the reality of his situation is the description of the pain he experienced. The narrator reveals, <em>"His neck ached horribly; his brain was on fire, his heart, which had been fluttering faintly, gave a great leap, trying to force itself out at his mouth."</em> This is, in fact, the real pain that Farquhar is experiencing when he was hanged, but to him, he dreamed that he was underwater and that he's going to escape.
Thus, the correct answer is<u> "His neck ached horribly; his brain was on fire, his heart, which had been fluttering faintly, gave a great leap, trying to force itself out at his mouth."</u>
