I believe that Faustus originally asked Mephastophilis to bring him Helen of Troy because he lusted after Helen and wanted to possess her.
Helen is the symbol of ultimate beauty, and his hedonistic side wanted to indulge his more primal needs.

This sonnet was one of the twenty new ballads in the 1856 release of Leaves of Grass. Like "Intersection Brooklyn Ferry," which showed up in the meantime, it commands a fellowship and a majority rules system in light of place. Here Whitman sets up the out-of-entryways as an idealistic, majority rule space, in which all men can meet up.
In this poem, Whitman praises the out-of-entryways, and the street specifically, as space where men can meet up seriously, where status and social markers matter less. A street is something everybody utilizes, regardless of whether they are rich or poor, and it compels all levels of individuals to connect with each other. The street, besides, connotes versatility: one can take the street to someplace new, and in America that implies some place one can begin once again. For Whitman, as well, the street is a space for the social occasion the material for verse. As he goes along it, he sees an assortment of individuals and puts and hears a plenty of stories. He contends against remaining in one place for a really long time, in spite of the fact that the cordiality might be a bit, for just the trial of the open street will do.

Veronika [31]

Answer:

not the prompt but here you go

Explanation:

It all started with a magnifying glass. Daryl's uncle had given it to him for his birthday. It didn't seem like much of a gift at the time, but then all sorts of things happened. Read this story to find out what kind of an adventure Daryl had!

A Summer's Day

It was a nice summer day and Daryl decided to go for a walk. 'Why don't you take that magnifying glass with you,' said his uncle, 'see what kind of an adventure you can find.' Daryl didn't think there was much adventure in a magnifying glass, but he stuck it in his pocket anyway along with some peanut butter crackers.

He walked to his favorite tree and sat down in the warm sand to eat his crackers. As he ate, some crumbs fell to the ground. He took out the magnifying glass when he noticed an ant had already found his cracker crumbs. 'Hey,' he thought, 'I'll check this out.'

The Adventure Begins

Under the magnifying glass, the ant looked pretty formidable. That means it looked large and scary! As he followed the ant, he saw it fall into a small pit. The ant tried and tried to crawl out of the pit, but the sand kept giving way and he'd fall back down. Daryl was just about to give up on the ant when, all of a sudden, out of the bottom of the pit jumped an antlion and grabbed the ant! Wow, was that something to watch up-close! The antlion was even more formidable than the ant!

Antlion

As he continued to gaze through the glass, he noticed a little trail of tracks. They almost looked like tractor tracks, but he knew that wasn't possible. He decided to follow them and see where they went. The tracks led him right to a tree where he found a caterpillar happily munching on a leaf. Wow, did the caterpillar look cool under the magnifying glass! It had colors and spots and hairs and lots of funny little feet. It was rather peculiar, meaning strange and different.

A Little Danger

He continued to watch the caterpillar when he was interrupted by a buzzing sound. There hovering over the caterpillar was a wasp. Though is startled him, he was rather intrigued, or very interested, with this tiny adventure he was on. The wasp was the most formidable of all!

Carefully watching the wasp, he saw it was laying small white eggs right on top of the caterpillar, who didn't seem to notice anything going on at all! What a crazy world down here in small land! The wasp suddenly flew up and away. As he watched, he saw it get tangled in a spider web. 'This is awesome,' he thought, 'I have to climb up and take a better look at that spider.'

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

The final sentence contributes to the end o the article to show we might have fun by doing something one way instead of the other and that we don't know we can enjoy it before doing it.

Explanation:

The sentences are used to point out that sometimes we act based on someone else's thoughts or opinions, and that might be not true. Also, sometimes we can find incredible experiences by trying to achieve our objectives by doing one action instead of others. That there is an infinite amount of probability we can't perceive what could be of value because we have not experienced it.
