Answer:
This poem talks about the fear of taking out the good in us.
Explanation:
The poem <em>"To Keep One’s Treasure Protected"</em> written by Stephen Dobyns begins by talking about the wonders that are hidden inside, such as the flame inside the coal, or a diamond hidden in the dark.
Then transfer this comparison to the human being. He asks himself: <em>"But what would be the coal’s choice if coal could be said to choose?".
</em>
Human beings have the option of always bringing out the good that is in us, the problem is that we mostly do not.
It mentions some examples:
<em>"to see a man slip
</em>
<em>to the sidewalk without going to help, to know
</em>
<em>a song and not sing it, to watch the hungry
</em>
<em>get hungrier, the defeated continue their steady
</em>
<em>collapse. "
</em>
Finally, the author urges us to change this, and to share with the world all the good we have.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
I would say A, because normally when (for example) a friend texts you about her trip to new zealand you probaly learn something from her going there. But at the same time talking to someone is also informative. But the answer D says in a play meaning like show so you would be listening. So I say A but if you feel strongly about D go for it and correct me if I'm wrong! :)
