A.seek his or her own happiness.


In the excerpt the speaker is talking about how she is not a servant, tool, bandage or sacrifice for anyone else. She is not the one to provide anyone happiness especially at the cost of her own. We see this focus on the speaker's happiness in the last line of the excerpt when it says "This miracle of me is mine to own an keep" In this line the speaker takes responsibility for her own happiness, and in turn shows that happiness is the responsibility of each individual.

Which statement best describes the theme of "A Day for Wandering"? One must appreciate nature’s beauty in order to understand li
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

The statement that best describes the theme of "A Day for Wandering" is:

B. The country is better than the city because it is more beautiful.

Explanation:

"A Day for Wandering" is a poem by author Clinton Scollard. The speaker of the poem talks about the day he spent in nature, away from the city. It was just that one day, though. The speaker does not talk of a total and complete decision to leave the city and stay in the country for good. It was a day the speaker "set apart for wandering".

<u>To the speaker's eyes, the country is more beautiful. While the city has "brawls and bruit", the country has voices from invisible throats, small animals effortlessly living their lives, with no worries or cares. The speaker seems to be merely observing and admiring nature. He's not trying to make sense of it. He is not judging life, struggling to understand its meaning, feeling small before the universe. He's simply existing along with nature and its beauty. We can, therefore, safely choose letter B as our answer: The country is better than the city because it is more beautiful.</u>

san4es73 [151]

After John Brown was hung for several accusations regarding slavery abolition in 1859, there were two perspectives about him, and this represented a controversy: On one side, people were in favor and wanted him dead. On the other, people considered him a hero.

While the first claimed he was a murderer and subversive whose intentions were to bring a servile civil war down, the second saw in him an example of true patriotism, someone who sacrifices himself for the emancipation and salvation of a despised race, that is to say, his brothers.

Many works of literature feature an unreliable narrator: they contain first-person accounts narrated by someone whose credibilit
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

<u>The popular literary work - The Great Gatsby </u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u>ESSAY WORK</u>

Interestingly, in this story the narrator Nick tries to describe the characters Tom, Gatsby and Daisy to readers from his own perspective. This was evident in the use of the word 'I' as Nick describes events.

However, Nick seems to be unreliable because at a point in time in his narration he said, "I am one of the few honest people I ever know". This statement creates a feeling of doubt about his narration to the reader.

The whole interpretation of the story is affected by his constant bias between the characters; speaking favourably to one character- Gatsby over the others. Thus he portrays Gatsby as <em>the leading icon,</em> which influences how the reader sees Gatsby.
