Read this mythical poem "Phaethon's Pride." Impatient Phaethon Read this mythical poem "Phaethon's Pride." Impatient Phaethon bragged about his dad: Great Helios, that Titan, brave and strong. No one believed his story. He felt sad. He vowed to find his father and belong. He traveled to the palace of the sun, And found his father, Helios, at last. The mighty Titan beamed with pride, his son To see, and longed to know all that had passed. "Dear Father," said the mortal, "I have come In search of truth. For all claim that I lie." "My son, these rumors we will overcome. Ask bragged about his dad: Great Helios, that Titan, brave and strong. No one believed his story. He felt sad. He vowed to find his father and belong. He traveled to the palace of the sun, And found his father, Helios, at last. The mighty Titan beamed with pride, his son To see, and longed to know all that had passed. "Dear Father," said the mortal, "I have come In search of truth. For all claim that I lie." "My son, these rumors we will overcome. Ask what you will. No wish will I deny." Then Phaethon wished to be just like this man, To drive his chariot from east to west. His father pleaded for a different plan To save his son from such a fatal quest. But Phaethon took the reins. He flat refused To heed sound council. All the horses knew. New hands were on the reins. They grew confused. With wild hearts, straight down to Earth they flew. The sun they dragged burned up the mighty trees. The waters shrank beneath the fiery heat. Then Phaethon flew so high, he froze the seas. He lost the reins and fell out of his seat. For damaged Earth had called to Zeus for aid. He'd seen plains turned to deserts, seas to ice. Zeus threw a bolt of lightning. In dismay, He watched as Phaethon fell and paid the price. Now no one knows the end of Phaethon's plight. Did he survive his fall or try to hide? But one and all agree that Phaethon's flight Taught all to practice humbleness, not pride. Which line or lines from the poem best support the overall theme?

[1] nothing that comes from the desert expresses its extremes better than the unhappy growth of the tree yuccas. tormented, thin forests of it stalk drearily in the high mesas, particularly in that triangular slip that fans out eastward from the meeting of the sierras and coastwise hills. the yucca bristles with bayonet-pointed leaves, dull green, growing shaggy with age like an old [5] man's tangled gray beard, tipped with panicles of foul, greenish blooms. after its death, which is slow, the ghostly hollow network of its woody skeleton, with hardly power to rot, makes even the moonlight fearful. but it isn't always this way. before the yucca has come to flower, while yet its bloom is a luxurious, creamy, cone-shaped bud of the size of a small cabbage, full of sugary sap. the indians twist it deftly out of its fence of daggers and roast the prize for their [10] own delectation why does the author use the words "bayonet-pointed" (line 4) and "fence of daggers" (line 9) to describe the leaves of the yucca tree? . to create an image of the sharp edges of the plant to emphasize how beautiful the plant's leaves are to explain when and where the plant grows to show how afraid the author is of the plant
