For example, in the “Introduction” to Bulfinch’s Mythology, Bulfinch writes:

The Greek poets believed the earth to be flat and circular, their own country occupying the middle of it, the central point being either Mount Olympus, the abode of the gods, or Delphi, so famous for its oracle.
What can be inferred by this information?

The Greeks didn’t travel far beyond their own region.
Ancient Greeks at the center of the map
The poets did not respect the gods as did the average person.
The gods were not all knowing.

Answers

Explanation:

What tone and mood are expressed in the story the fly machine by Ray Bradbury. Find evidence with it

Answers

.. if u attached the image i could help, sorry

Answer:

In "The Flying Machine," the ethics of technological improvement with no clear goal in sight is called into question. Written in 1953 in the midst of the Cold War and nuclear proliferation, these were important questions when Bradbury was writing, and they continue to be important questions today. How can technology be developed responsibly, and who would be accountable for this type of responsible development? Should inventors consider the possible negative ramifications of an invention, or should they proceed by only focusing on the benefits of it?

It raises the important question of how, and if, technology should be monitored and regulated. While there are risks and drawbacks to developing the Flying Machine, the contraption also creates a lot of beauty and releases it into the world. Bradbury's story introduces the concept of weighing the rewards and drawbacks of technology, as well as the negative sides of censorship, which in this case result in the death of the inventor of the Flying Machine. We rarely hear of the invention process being stopped because of negative externalities. Should that be reported and talked about more often? These are ideas that Bradbury would like for us to debate.

If inventors do not think about these possible side effects or choose to move past them, is it then the government's responsibility to step in and censor ideas? It would be seen as very controversial for a government to halt progress simply because they believed that it had the possibility to create evil (and that possibility was not guaranteed). This story forces us to examine censorship from all angles, especially because the censorship ends in the tragic death of the inventor. Is it really protecting society in this case?

The story also examines the idea of beauty. The Emperor adores his invention that allows him to watch the controlled, fake motions of the people living in his Empire. They walk as they should walk, the birds fly as they should fly, and everything operates under his control in this idyllic toy-like microcosm. He finds great beauty in it, and he revels in the idea that he controls all of the actions of these people. The device does not force him to be vulnerable. He is able to maintain constant control.

The beauty produced by the Flying Machine trivializes the Emperor's possession, but it also scares the Emperor because he cannot control it or account for all of the unexpected consequences that the machine could produce. Does beauty need to be controlled in order to be in its ultimate form, or are the most beautiful things unpredictable? These are questions that "The Flying Machine" forces us to ask ourselves.

Hope it helps!!

Please answer FASTTTT!
The person with the correct answer will be marked BRANILIEST

Answers

Explanation:

1) The seventh heaven was now in shambles...who decided that it would be a good idea to let those immature devils into heaven?

2) I was as happy as Larry, now that I had finished clearing out the rancid shed.

3) I was having the worst day ever, then I fell in a pile of trash...I was quite literally down in the dumps.

4) My heart sank and I felt betrayed as I saw my cat ignore me and run to my friend instead.

5) I gasped, and looked at the TV screen in shock...did that monster seriously just bite his head off?

6) "Your dog stole my dog's bone toy, of course I have a bone to pick with you", shouted the annoyed girl.

7) "I knew it was a bad idea to go to the haunted house", I thought as I practically jumped out of my skin after hearing a loud, ghoulish cry in my ear.

8) I saw the ghost-looking things chasing us down, but I couldn't pull my friend (who was currently crying in fear) off the ground; she was rooted to the spot!

9) He was looking at my new boots in pure jealousy, and I swear I could see him turn green with envy.

10) The green eyed monster took over my life; I couldn't go a minute without being consumed by jealousy and envy!

Answer:

In the seventh heaven, there is a skeleton named Grace. She is currently as happy as Larry, who is literally swimming in gold, but then a green-eyed monster with eyes that shine green with envy tells her "I've got a bone to pick with you." Which makes her laugh, thinking it was a joke since she's a skeleton, but that response pushed the monster down in dumps. Grace noticed the sad expression in the monster, so she asked what was wrong. She wasn't really paying attention to the monster until she heard them say "-to bite someone's head off-" That sentence alone could make one's heat sink in fear, or if it was a being with skin then it could make them jump out of one's skin. Grace's focus rooted to the spot as she eagerly talked to the monster, calming it down with whatever was wrong.

Explanation:
