The speaker thinks (feels) that her daughter is growing up very fast and uncontrollably, so the speaker feels a wistful feeling towards past years in which her daughter was young and just learning to ride a bike, and the speaker wishes her daughter to remain forever in her chidlike state and never grow up.

The poet  illustrates the speaker's feelings towards her daughter by drawing a comparison between different moments of their  life. Both the moment when the speaker taught her daughter how to ride a bike and the moment when the daughter is leaving home are being compared. During her daughter's childhood, the speaker was by her daughter's side , yet she could not tell if she would have been able to prevent her daughter from falling off the bike . The poet says that the speaker waited for a thud while teaching her daughter to ride. The daughter finally  got to learn how to ride and disappeared in the distance saying goodbye through her handkerchief. The daughter being a grown up now will leave home. Although the speaker must have done her best to take care of her daughter, she will never be able to prevent her daughter from suffering.

What idea do the words little and serene suggest in this text
adelina 88 [10]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The complete question is:

With infinite complacency men went to and fro over this globe about their little affairs, serene in their assurance of their empire over matter.

What idea do the words little and serene suggest in this text?

The idea that humans crave challenges and activity

The idea that human size was insignificant to that of Martians

The idea that humans were insignificant and oblivious

The idea that humans were obsessed with small things

Answer:

The idea that humans were insignificant and oblivious

Explanation:

The words "little" and "serene" convey a sense of inferiority and lack of importance. They were used in the text to show that men and the actions provoked and carried out by them are unimportant, without depth. These men and their actions were insignificant and oblivious, they were so small that they did not cause any relevant circumstances and for that reason the men presented a serenity, since they knew that they were not provoking anything.
