10. Pastoral poetry deals with shepherds or rural life in general that tells about the simplicity of country life and portrays the city as corrupt 11. Dr. Faustus by Christopher Marlowe. This was in interesting passage. In this passage it is explaining the things that Faustus desires and the things that he is sacrificing to get it. Mephistopheles is a minion of Lucifer and Faustus wants control of him for twenty four years. This passage explains what he wants to use these powers for, to aid his friends and to slay the enemies. This passage is also very serious because he is giving up his soul to the devil in order to get the twenty four years. Lucifer has to accept the deal but in my opinion this is a much better deal for the devil than Dr. Faustus. In this passage also I can get a feel for how desperate in many ways Faustus is because of the willingness to make this deal. Also the devil or Lucifer is not doing any of the work at all. He just loans him a minion that he knows he will get back and he is guaranteed a soul. 12. The works of John Donne. I liked this passage I thought it was very nice. My interpretation from this was that it is very deep; I think in this passage the author is comparing the people that can do certain things and other people that do things in a better way. He also uses metaphors such as take eyes from a comet. He does not mean exactly to take eyes from a comet he means in my opinion, that its better to already be there than watching something happen. He also makes a point that no man is an island. This line made the most since to me. The author is saying that no one man is complete and we are all made up of different elements. I think also that the author his saying we all in a whole make up something much bigger than ourselves and even the slightest lost makes us as a whole less
