Read the passage. According to the ancient Greeks, Prometheus was an important figure in the creation of humankind. Prometheus was an immortal, a Titan,
and was ordered by Zeus, the king of the gods, to help ensure the survival of all living things. Prometheus gave all living creatures a special trait to
help them live in the world. He gave the eagle its keen eyesight, the fox its cunning, and the bear its thick fur. By the time Prometheus was ready to
give humans a special quality, he had none left. So Prometheus stole fire from the god Hephaistos and gave it to humans, so that they might not be
defenseless. When Zeus discovered that Prometheus had stolen fire to share with humans, he was very angry. He punished Prometheus by
chaining him to a rock in the mountains and letting an eagle peck at him every day.

1. find at least 9 adjectives from this opening passage used to describe the setting of the story- "to build a fire" setting: day had broken cold and gray, exceedingly cold and gray, when the man turned aside from the main yukon trail and climbed the high earth-bank, where a dim and little-travelled trail led eastward through the fat spruce timberland. it was a steep bank, and he paused for breath at the top, excusing the act to himself by looking at his watch. it was nine o'clock. there was no sun nor hint of sun, through there was not a cloud in the sky. it was a clear day, and yet there seemed an intangible pall over the face of things, subtle gloom that made the day dark, and that was due to the absence of sun. this fact did not worry the man. he was used to the lack of sun. it had been days since he had seen the sun, and he knew that a few more days must pass before that cheerful orb, due south, would just peep above the sky-line and dip immediately from view.
