Egyptian Literature

2) The tone was kind of worried of what the after life would be like. If everything was going to be prepared correctly. The situation is very important to the Egyptians because that's what determines there life after they die.
3) The speaker thinks Ra should praised for making the sun rise and fall, because to Egyptians the day is happy and joyful but the night is sad and depressing. So they praise the sun god for making it day and doing good things like bringing life.
4)I think the speaker is in delight because shes getting married I assume, and she is waiting and dreaming of how it can go and what can happen that's why she wants to stand next to him and be with him till he dies.
6) I think the last text, "Whenever I leave you, I go out of breath" give the strongest sense of the speaker. In this text it talks about his personal feelings about this girl that makes him feel that way. Because at one point everyone feels like this. But other people don't praise the son god or dream about getting married. Yes people do dream of getting married but this is more person oriented.
7)The poems differ because one is more about marriage and the other one is more about feelings and how she feels when shes around this person.
8)The Egyptian society and our society compare because both of us appreciate everyday life like being with family and people we love. But our society does not obsess about dying. When the time comes it comes but to Egyptians its a big deal because to them they need there belongings for their next life.
