Pl Help ASAP Directions: Read the summary below of a story from Greek mythology. Think about how this myth conveys meaning relating to early Greek civilization. Then answer the question.

Summary: When the inventor Daedalus and his son Icarus wanted to escape from Crete, Daedalus built them each a huge pair of wings made of feathers and wax. They would wear these wings to fly off the island. Before they set out, Daedalus warned Icarus not to fly too high. The two started on their way together, but before long Icarus grew enchanted with flying. He rose higher and higher, ignoring his father’s advice. Soon the sun began to melt the wax and Icarus fell to his death in the sea below. The sea, Icaria, was named for him.

Question: Icarus dies when he soars too high. Were there risks for the Minoans and Myceneaens in trying to build great civilizations?

analyzing characters

respond to the following questions in one paragraph for each. use specific examples from the text to support your responses.

1. there is a set of twins on the island named sam and eric. however, when describing them, golding regularly refers to them as samneric. how does this way of describing the twins relate to their behavior and the way that readers understand their characters? what examples of their behavior readers see that samneric is really the appropriate way to refer to them?

2. as the boys set out to search for the beast, ralph allows jack to lead the way, and he sinks to the back of the pack, " to have escaped responsibility for a time." what does this moment lead you to infer about ralph and about his feelings about being the group’s leader? what does this moment foreshadow?

3. while part of the party searching for the beast, simon realizes that the notion of the beast that the other boys have does not make sense. a beast sitting atop a mountain with claws, a beast who did not leave tracks, could have easily caught the twins. simon has a different picture of the beast: "there rose before his inward sight the picture of a human at once heroic and sick." how does this picture relate to the beast that samneric saw? how does it relate to what simon said earlier about the beast being "only us"?
