The influence of ancient and classical literature can be observed in various aspects of today's world. One clear example is the continued popularity of epic narratives in modern storytelling. The text mentions modern films like Star Wars and Spider-Man, which follow the journey of heroes facing challenges and striving for ideals, just like in ancient Greek epics such as the Odyssey. Similarly, contemporary literature like Divergent and Wild also feature protagonists embarking on personal journeys, reflecting the enduring appeal of this narrative structure.

Moreover, the values and themes explored in ancient and classical literature still resonate in today's society. The emphasis on reason and morality over emotions and passion continues to be relevant. The text mentions that artists, poets, and philosophers of that time valued reason as well as rational behavior and moral actions. These ideals can be seen in our modern societal values, where critical thinking, ethical decision-making, and the pursuit of knowledge are highly regarded. For example, educational systems around the world encourage students to think critically, make informed choices, and consider the consequences of their actions.

It is important for an increasingly global world to emphasize reason and morality because these principles provide a foundation for understanding and cooperation across diverse cultures and perspectives. Reason encourages logical and rational thinking, fostering understanding and effective problem-solving. Morality promotes ethical behavior, respect for others, and the building of harmonious relationships. In a globalized world where encounters with different cultures are inevitable, emphasizing reason and morality can help bridge differences, promote empathy, and foster peaceful coexistence.

While emotions and passion have their place in human experience, emphasizing reason and morality helps to ensure that decisions are well-thought-out and considerate of others. It prevents impulsive actions driven solely by emotion, which may lead to conflicts or negative consequences. By valuing reason and morality, individuals can engage in meaningful and respectful dialogues, working towards common goals while upholding ethical standards.

Overall, the influence of ancient and classical literature can be found in contemporary storytelling, and the emphasis on reason and morality remains important in our increasingly interconnected and diverse world. These age-old values provide a framework for understanding, cooperation, and the pursuit of common ideals, ultimately contributing to a more harmonious global society.

In today's world, we can observe the influence of ancient and classical literature in various ways. One noticeable influence is in the genre of epic storytelling. The text mentions modern examples such as the films Star Wars and Spider-Man, as well as texts like Divergent and Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail. These stories all feature modern-day heroes or heroines embarking on journeys or battles in pursuit of an ideal, similar to the epic poems of the ancient and classical periods.

Additionally, the text mentions that the ideas of democracy, philosophy, science, medicine, literature, and the arts, which all originated from ancient Greece, have contributed to the development of modern cultures. Concepts like reason over emotion, pursuing the ideal form in artistic works, and making moral choices using reason are still present in contemporary literature and art.

The purpose of ancient and classical forms of literature can be described as both teaching a lesson and inspiring audiences to think. The texts were not mere entertainment, but rather vehicles for conveying moral instruction, exploring philosophical ideas, and reflecting on the human condition. The text points out that even though these works often included mythological figures, they were deeply informed by the philosophy of the time and aimed to make moral choices and use reason to understand the chaotic world.

The purpose of most ancient and classical literature connects to and reflects the ideals of those time periods in several ways. Firstly, the emphasis on reason and rational thinking as opposed to emotion or passion reflects the classical values of seeking the ideal and achieving balance and order. This is evident in the formal and restrained style of literature, as well as the focus on moral actions and ethical living.

Furthermore, the works were meant to transmit the values and traditions of the respective cultures. For example, epic poems served as a method of recording and passing down historical events and details from the past. They not only entertained but also educated audiences about their culture's heroes, gods, and values. This purpose aligns with the ideals of those time periods, where the pursuit of the ideal and the preservation of cultural heritage were highly valued.

Overall, ancient and classical literature continues to influence and shape our modern world. It has left a lasting impact on storytelling, values, and the pursuit of knowledge, philosophy, and art.

Based on the text, the example that most closely represents an allegory is option C: A teacher tells a story that appears to be about two wolves, but is really about good and evil.

In the passage, it is mentioned that allegory is a form of storytelling with hidden levels of meanings that the author wants readers or listeners to discern. While fables, like Aesop's fables, end with an explicitly stated moral or lesson, part of Plato's Republic is an allegory. Plato's "The Allegory of the Cave" is mentioned as an example of allegory in the passage.

In this allegory, Socrates presents his ideas on education using the analogy of prisoners being led from a dark, shadowy cave to the sunlight outside. The story appears to be about prisoners in a cave, but it is actually about how humans perceive reality. The story uses symbolism and analogies to convey a deeper meaning and provoke contemplation.

Therefore, the example of a teacher telling a story that appears to be about two wolves but is really about good and evil closely represents an allegory, as it presents a surface-level story with hidden meanings or lessons for the listeners to discern.

The purpose of ancient and classical forms of literature, as described in the text, was to teach the people who read them so that they could make more moral choices. This can be seen in the statement "Even though Greco-Roman and Indian epics like the Odyssey and the Rámáyana were written in completely different places, they both take place in a mythological past and involve gods populating the human earth. They describe the journeys of heroes who face battle, turmoil, and the prospect of victory." These epics were not only meant to entertain but also to convey important lessons and values to the readers or listeners.

The ancient and classical literature aimed to inspire critical thinking about the world and humanity's place in it. The philosophers of the time, such as Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, engaged in dialogues and discussions to explore new ways of thinking and to encourage people to make sense of the chaotic world through reason. The literature and other art forms reflected a formal and restrained style that valued balance and order, aiming to achieve the ideal form.

Therefore, the most accurate answer to the question is C. They were intended to teach the people who read them so they could make more moral choices.

1. For this problem we just refer to the descriptions that you placed under the prompt. According to Malcolm's bandmate, it would be easier to solve the trinomial by subtracting 350 from both sides and then factoring the equation. Malcolm, on the other hand, thinks that we should manipulate the equation in order to make it a perfect square trinomial.

2. This trinomial would be easily solved by using Malcolm's idea. As Malcolm pointed out, you just need to apply a formula to manipulate the equation then you can find the roots in no time. Finding the factors of 350 just to solve the trinomial would be the hard way to go since you would be considering a lot of them.

3. For this item, we are just tasked to follow what Malcolm's bandmate started doing. So, we would just need to think of two numbers that would result to -350 when multiplied. To start off, let's think of something we can divide 350 by, let's say 70. Now, if we divide -350 by 70 the result would be -5 therefore that would be our two numbers (p and q). p + q would therefore just be 65.

p = 70
q = -5
p + q = 65

4. No, the factor table is not complete since you would need factors of -350 that would add up to -3, the coefficient of w. This rule is sort of a shortcut when factoring the trinomial, since expressing the roots in the form of (w + p)(w + q) would lead you to the original expression by following the rules. We do not see any factors that add up to -3 in the factor table.

5. Malcolm was almost right, but technically he missed the initial step. To make a perfect square trinomial, you first need to make sure that a (or the coefficient of the leading term) is equal to one. If not, you first need to divide the entire equation by a. Then, you apply what Malcolm says.

6. Since the coefficient of the leading term is already equal to one, we do not need to worry about the initial step anymore. For this item, we just need to divide -3 by two and square it then add the resulting number to both sides. The solution is shown below:

( \frac{-3}{2})^{2} =(-1.5)^{2}=2.25
w^{2}-3w+2.25=350+2.25
w^{2}-3w+2.25=352.25

7. To factor the trinomial, we just really need to make sense of the process we just did in the previous item. Notice that we just squared -1.5, after dividing -3 by 2. If you look at it closely, this is just the process of expanding the square of a binomial in reverse. Therefore, we know that our resulting expression is the square of (w - 1.5)

(w-1.5)^{2}=352.25

8. For this item we are just simply tasked to follow the instructions given. The process described in the item is how we are supposed to solve for the variable. The work and solution for this item is shown below:

\sqrt{ (w-1.5)^{2}}= \sqrt{352.25}
w-1.5=18.77
w=20.27

9. The solution does make sense in terms of the problem because, firstly, the answer we have arrived on is a positive number which means it is a realistic value of a measurement, and secondly, our solution in the previous item just followed basic arithmetic so we did not violate anything in the problem.

10. For this item, we can find the length by subtracting the value of the width by 3, as was dictated in the prompt. But before this, we first need to round our answer for the width to the nearest foot. 20 minus 3 is just 17. Multiplying 20 and 17 might not get us to 350 but this is just an approximation anyway. (Getting the product of the numbers before rounding off would give us an accurate one.)

w = 20 feet
l = 17 feet
