Answer:

The publishing houses rejected his poems and stories.

Explanation:

Walter Dean Myers shared the story of his life and his effort to see that young people succeed in the face of hard times in an interview with BBC news on 5/6/2012.

There he told them he was committed to writing based on the advice that was given to him by one of his high school teachers.

He said in his attempt to get his works published, he sent his poems and stories to publishing houses and they were rejected on countless occasions. His first book to be published is "where does the day go?" after several failed attempts.

Which passage from Grendel best illustrates the theme "life is meaningless"?
kaheart [24]
I have found the choices to your question from another source and I will place them here:

A) All order, I've come to understand, is theoretical, unreal -- a harmless, sensible, smiling mask men slide between the two great, dark realities. B) I seize up a sleeping man, tear at him hungrily, bite through his bone-locks and suck hot, slippery blood.C) Fate often enough will spare a man if his courage holds. (162)D) As if casually, in plain sight of them all, I bit his head off, crunched through the helmet and skull with my teeth and, blood-slippery body in two hands. (79)

Among these choices, the passage that would suggest that "life is meaningless" would be option A. That passage suggests that every order is not real, that people just unknowingly go over between the "two dark realities".

It supports that life is meaningless by telling us that the order we try so much to achieve and maintain is nothing but a theoretical concept - an imagination.
