The correct answer is B) They all forsake him on his final journey.

Explanation:

At the beginning of the play "Everyman", the audience is told it will see our - all of mankind's - life and death. God then appears and complains that humans are only worried about wordly riches instead of serving Him. God sends Death to warn Everyman - an allegorical character representing mankind - that he will die and that his good and bad deeds will be taken into account.

Desperate, Everyman seeks for company. However, he is abandoned by all those he approches. When he asks Good Deeds to accompany him, he finds out she can't even walk because she has been weakened by his sins. Advised by Knowledge, Everyman confesses his sins, which makes Good Deeds strong enough to accompany him.

Good Deeds, however, is not the only one. Everyman is also in the company of Discretion, Strength, Five Wits, and Beauty. Nonetheless, as soon as he begins to die, Discretion, Strength, Five Wits, and Beauty forsake him one by one. In death, Everyman can only take his Good Deeds with him.

In the end, a doctor appears to give the epilogue. He tells the audience to forsake Discretion, Strength, Five Wits, and Beauty since they will forsake everyone when the time to die comes.

hey there

use of language is very important in order to write in a good way. each literary genre has its different exploitation of language and, therefore, many differences and similarities can emerge. shakespeare's work (romeo and juliet) is a sample of a drama. its language is full of dialogue to describe the beauty of first love in people; everything it's pink color. it briefly describes fictional scenes and situations. on the other hand, the calypso borealis, by john muirs, it's narrative essay: its language is full of descriptions to describe an experience, a real experience. hyperbole is not used as in drama genre. he falls in love with discovering a real place and his direct feelings.

Read the following excerpt from "dark tower" by claude mckay before you choose your answer. "we shall not always plant while others reap the golden increment of bursting fruit, nor always countenance, abject and mute, that lesser men should hold their brothers cheap; not everlastingly while others sleep shall we beguile their limbs with mellow flute, not always bend to some more subtle brute. we were not made eternally to weep. the night, whose sable breast relieves the stark, white stars, is no less lovely being dark; and there are buds that cannot bloom at all in light, but crumple, piteous, and fall. so in the dark we hid the heart that bleeds, and wait, and tend our agonizing needs." in context, the expression "the night, whose sable breast relieves the stark,/ white stars, is no less lovely being dark; " is best interpreted as a. the light of the stars overpowers the black of night b. the black of night overpowers the light of the stars c. black and white contribute equally to the beauty of the night sky d. black and white continuously compete for prominence in the night sky
