1. It is biased but also not because they are voicing their opinions and how they feel about it.

2. I feel like whoever is saying that its no longer acceptable people should listen to them and what they have to say.

What does this video show us about the depiction of the devil throughout literature?

it shows how writers have changed

Why do you think writers from the Romantic period shifted away from the Puritan style of morally good characters and began writing about characters who made bad choices?

According to the video, what is a metaphor?

What does it mean to use an extended metaphor?

Develop a metaphor to describe something that takes up a lot of your time. Try to describe it using imagery (sense, touch, smell, taste, or sound)
(Ex: My grading paper file is a blazing inferno. It spreads itself to all of the places I exist - my home, my desk, and my inbox. Just when I think I've gotten the blaze down to flame the size of a match, I feel the heat begin to intensify again.)
