Read the excerpt. the boast of heraldry, the pomp of power, and all that beauty, all that wealth e’er gave, awaits alike the inevitable hour. the paths of glory lead but to the grave. based on these lines from “elegy written in a country churchyard” by thomas gray, what does the speaker suggest about human life? fame and fortune are ultimately meaningless, because we all die. people who live in the country are more religious than those who live in the city. people should seize the day and live life to the absolute fullest. a person’s worth can be measured by his or her contributions to literature.

The speaker is saying that no matter how much power, beauty or wealth someone has, everyone dies in the end, death is inevitable so all the things someone acquires in life don't really mean anything. Therefore the correct answer would be option A: "Fame and fortune are ultimately meaningless, because we all die". Option B is incorrect because the author never mentions cities or the country. Option C is incorrect because the author doesn't convey that idea, he just says that everyone dies, and option D is incorrect because the author does not mention literature.

the play romeo and juliet was one of the most famous love tragedies ever written. this love story unfortunately had a fatal ending. many people argue over why the lovers had died, was it over free will or fate?  

the death of romeo and juliet was partially because of free will. the fact that romeo and juliet got married knowing that there was a bitter feud between their families, the montague and capulet’s. this feud brought on many problems, such as the murder of tybalt by romeo. juliet knew that this might be a problem for her and romeo. juliet had said: “what’s in a name”? which explains her ill fate of being a capulet and romeo being a montague. when romeo tells his servant “ ay, mine own…show more content…

i believe they had died over the love they had for each other, strong enough that their lives could end so suddenly if something horrible had come between them, and that was exactly how it happened. this tragedy occurred within five days of the two meeting, they experienced love at first sight, got married and quickly were dead. free will became a part of this when juliet decided to take friar laurence’s advise in inhaling a potion that will make people assume she is died but will awake in 42 hours prier to when she took it. when romeo had heard the news that juliet was dead, he assumed it was true, and responded with the line; “well juliet, i will lay with thee tonight”. to me this line indicated how he feels for juliet by dying in her will. the fact that free will didn’t take control of the story; it left fate to be the murder of the lovers. fate first kicked in when their eyes met at the capulet party. when romeo and juliet spoke, their words had powerful contentment; they had such a strong feeling for one another that they could lay in each other’s arms forever. their happiness didn’t last long; there were many reasons for this, for example; the marriage lord capulet arranged between paris and juliet. i believe that the plot of the play thus far leads the audience to believe that the deaths were a result of fate. the last act will determine once and for all if it is fate or free will. romeo again challenges fate.
