3) Mark Twain recreates the medieval age through its superstitious and ignorant people. Clarence believes that a spell has been cast on the prisoner's cell and hence it is impossible for him to aid Morgan's escape. Morgan, being a practical modern man, does not believe in the powers of Merlin or the superstitious beliefs of the people. Later, he will try to educate the people to not be so superstitious and gullible. Now, however, he takes advantage of the ignorance and false beliefs of these illiterate people to declare himself a magician capable of creating calamities.

4) Since science has not yet made its advent in the 6th century, the common people have no base of knowledge on which to identify an eclipse. Morgan uses science to defend himself from his superstitious enemies, performing the first miraculous feat that will convince the people to listen to him. He gains credibility and thus influence by lying to the people. Later, he will use his credibility and influence to teach the people not to be so ignorant.

The city (sky) goes dark, and the King believes it to be caused by Morgan's magical powers. The King makes a deal with him, which includes Morgan becoming the King's minister and receiving compensation.

I'll be back to finish the rest of these in a bit!

which question is the answer about the sity sky for?

Sorry, that ws the answer to number five.

THANKS!

answer to 20 and the first of 21. The Boss is stabbed when he tries to help one of the knights he has wounded. At that time, Merlin casts a spell on him, causing him to fall asleep for thirteen hundred years, before accidentally electrocuting himself to death on some wire. In this way the tale of the Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's court ends.
