Select all the correct answers. Read the passages. In what two ways does the poem “Daphne” transform the myth of Daphne and Apollo?

Apollo, the god of light and son of Zeus, first fell in love with Daphne, the daughter of the river-god. Daphne wished to remain unmarried in her life and devote herself to the chase. But one day, Apollo happened to see Eros, a young god of love, bending his bow. Proud of his own superior strength and skill, Apollo laughed at the efforts of the little archer.

Eros angrily replied that his arrow should pierce the heart of the mocker himself. Flying off to the summit, he drew two darts of different workmanship. A dart made of gold had the effect of inspiring love, while a dart made of lead created distaste. Taking aim at Apollo, Eros pierced him with the golden dart, while aiming the leaden one at Daphne. Apollo instantly fell in love with Daphne, who, on her part, showed the greatest dislike toward him. At his approach, she fled as if Apollo were a hunter.

He called upon her in the most endearing accents to stay, but she still sped on, until at length, becoming tired, she called upon the gods to come to her aid. Hardly had she uttered her prayer before her tiredness overcame her, causing her to freeze. Just as Apollo approached, she became transformed into a laurel-bush. Apollo sorrowfully crowned his head with its leaves. He declared, that in memory of his love, it should henceforth remain evergreen, and be held sacred to him.

Passage 2

adapted from
Daphne
by Edna St. Vincent Millay

Why do you follow me?—
Any moment I can be
Nothing but a laurel-tree.
Any moment of the chase
I can leave you in my place
A branch for you to embrace.
Yet if over hill and hollow
Still it is your will to follow,
I am off;—to heel1, Apollo!

D. by emphasizing the role of love in the story

the hunger games, written by  suzanne collins, is fiction in the young adult genre, which is not my age group, but i found myself unable to put it down. its combination of nerve-racking tension, thrilling action, and engaging love story kept me up until the wee hours. i was surprised at how completely engrossing the plot was. like  brave new world, this story is set in a future where the government oppresses its people, but the book also borrows ideas from the greek myth of theseus and the minotaur.

divided into 12 districts, ruled by an oppressive government located at the  capitol. katniss everdeen, a 16-year-old girl from district 12, takes her younger sister’s place as one of 24 “tributes” selected every year to participate in the hunger games at the capitol.

while i found this book absolutely enthralling, i was surprised it was aimed at an audience of young adults. it seems extremely intense for anyone younger than 16 or 17. for example, there is a scene where one young tribute is slowly eaten alive by wolf-like creatures all night long, and katniss has to finally throw a weapon at him to end his misery. i found this a little too disturbing when i considered the age of the character.

the intensity of the action was something one would find in a more mature book, but the age of the characters and the simplicity of the prose were aimed at a much younger audience. in addition, this book was written in present tense, which i found annoying, but that’s more of a personal preference than a stylistic fault. it was also edited somewhat poorly, but that rarely distracted from the plot. for example, the author often spoke in sentence fragments to describe how katniss felt, which might have been an attempt to reflect on her thought process, but i found it disorienting to read a lot of really short sentences all together. it would have been better to vary the sentence length on occasion, but the story was still coherently.

overall,  the hunger games  was an excellent, enthralling read that i highly recommend. if it was more clearly marked for older teens, it would have been better, but it was a fantastic book with a wonderfully creative plot.

one context clue that me find the meaning of luxuriance was that the base word of luxuriance is luxury, so i think that luxuriance means something that is luxury, or something luxurious.
