Courage is very easy to fail
Hi. You have not submitted the essay this question refers to, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, I will try and help as best I can.
It is only possible to know how the reference to King Midas is important for the essay if the reading of the essay is done. However, King Midas is known to be a very ambitious and wealth-obsessed King, even to the point of selling his own soul to become richer, which causes him to lose his most precious possession, his daughter. In this case, we can consider that the essay must present this king to draw a parallel between the subject of the essay and this tragic story of Midas, stimulated by the thirst for riches. We can therefore consider that the reference to Midas serves to intensify some of Chesterton's positions within the essay.
This is an example of an allusion, because an allusion is a figure of speech that allows a text to make references to other texts, people, characters, places and external situations.
My opinion on how best to learn the English Language is;
- Yes, people should either choose to learn "British English" or "American English".
For beginners who want to learn the English language successfully, they should either choose to learn "British English" or "American English".
The reason for this suggestion is that these two types of English language have peculiarities. Some words are not spelled the same in the two languages.
For example, 'labor' is acceptable in American English but the letter 'u' is added after 'o' in British English. Also, when using either of these two types of language in a text the same style must be maintained throughout.
So, if you are using American English in a text, you must maintain the same style throughout the text.
When a learner successfully masters either type of the language, then they can communicate effectively in English.
