Read the passage. Northfield is a model city in Westport County. Crime rates have dropped 28% in the last five years, and new bu
siness development has increased by 42% over the same period. There also has been significant growth in public services with the opening of our new Northfield Community Center and the current construction of Northfield Park. Unfortunately, Proposition S now threatens to undo all that Northfield has accomplished in recent years. Proposition S intends to fund public services throughout Westport County by taking 8.25% of all tax revenues away from city governments. Although most people believe that more public services are needed, Proposition S would only burden Northfield and other cities with strong local governments and business-friendly policies. These city governments would be required to pay for public services in areas where local politicians have failed to find a way to fund their own projects. Given the strength of Northfield’s economy, approximately $12.3 million dollars of tax revenue would be redirected toward county projects. Without this money in Northfield’s budget, many programs at our new community center will have to be cut. This would affect more than 40,000 citizens of Northfield, as well as 25,000 people who live outside our city and use the community center on a regular basis. The construction of Northfield Park, which also would be open to all county residents, would probably have to be put on hold. I am proud to join my fellow residents of Northfield in urging all citizens of Westport County to vote No on Proposition S in the upcoming election. What is good for Northfield is good for all of Westport County.

In these lines, Collins indicates that music is a positive distraction to the routine of daily life. Thanks to the music coming through his earphones, the subject of the poem believes he is "the real center of the universe." He is paying more attention to the music he hears than he is to what is happening around him. For this reason, music is a positive distraction.
Midas, the king wished that whatever he touched should turn to gold without realizing the consequences. As a result, he became a slave of his desires. He touched his daughter, she turned into a gold statue.
When he said I want everything I touch to turn to gold, God warned him. The use of words and phrases makes the story distinctive.
The sentence, 'I would have absorbed the fragrances of the rose without touching them' shows his grief.
