The Story is set in a future resulting of the destruction of industrial civilization, the story is narrated by a young named John. The priests of “The Hill People” are the only ones who can handle metal collected from the “dead places”, which are the houses of long-ago-dead people whom they believe to be gods. The story tells the story of John’s self-assigned mission to get to the Place of the Gods.

John goes through the forest for eight days and crosses the river Ou-dis-sun. Once John gets to the Place of the Gods, he feels the energy and magic there. After being chased by dogs and climbing the stairs of a large building, John sees a dead god. Upon viewing the visage, he has an epiphany that the gods were humans whose power overwhelmed their good nature. After John comes back to his tribe, he tells his father of "the place New York." His father advises him against recounting his experiences to others in the tribe, for sometimes too much truth is a bad thing. The story ends with John stating his conviction that, once he becomes the head priest, "We must build again."

3. the forces of nature versus the will of humans

hi there!

one thousand and one nights, also called the arabian nights is a collection of middle eastern tales compiled in arabic during the islamic golden age, dated from the 8th to the 14th century. this collection was compiled of largely middle eastern and indian stories with an uncertain date and autorship whose tales such as aladdin, ali baba and sinbad the sailor -these ones were the most popular ones, the ones that have almost become part of western folklore.

as in much medieval european literature, the stories contained in this collection are set within a frame story. its scene is central asia, as known as "the islands or peninsulae of india and china", where king shahryar kills his wife after discovering her infidelities and as well as any other who betrayed him.   then, loathing all womankind, he marries and kills his new wife each day until no more candidates could have been found. his vizier had two daughters, scheherezade and dunyazad. the elder one -scheherezade- having devised a scheme to save herself and the others insisted that her father needed to give her in marriage to the king. each evening, she used to tell a story leaving it incomplete and promising to finish it the following night. the stories kept the king very interested, so eager to hear evey ending of each story, that he puts off her execution from day to day and finally he decided to give up with his plan. these stories are contained within the collection of 1001 nights, the bulk of the text is in prose, although verse is usually used for songs and riddles to express better the heightened emotion of them.

i think the answer would mist likely be an adjective clause, because unhappy is an adjective.
