Read the following excerpt from the article "Vision, Voice and the Power of Creation: An Author Speaks Out," by T. A. Barron and

answer the question that follows:
Right now, I am spending a lot of time listening to the voice of a particularly compelling character: the young Merlin. In the end, I finally heard the voice of Merlin thanks to a surprising source: the haunting, mysterious hooting of a great horned owl outside the window of my Colorado home. As I listened to that owl's resonant [echoing] call in the pre-dawn hours one morning, something about it gave me a whole new cadence [rhythm], a whole new sound. And then, a whole new voice.

The author states, "I finally heard the voice of Merlin thanks to a surprising source: the haunting, mysterious hooting of a great horned owl outside the window of my Colorado home." What is the author's implicit message in this statement?

The author realized Merlin's voice should have the same qualities as the owl's voice.
The author thought Merlin's voice should seem like it is hooting.
The author wished he had thought of Merlin's voice sooner.
The author knew the owl would bring Merlin's voice to life.

The correct answer is the following: <em>option a. The author realized Merlin's voice should have the same qualities as the owl's voice.</em> In the excerpt provided in the question, the author is describing the moment he got the perfect inspiration for the character of Merlin, this inspiration as the author explains, came from an owl and it's mysterious hooting. This moment could be defined as the moment in which the author realized that Merlin's voice should have the same qualities as the owl's voice. The owl's voice served as the main inspiration for creating Merlin's voice.

andreyandreev [35.5K]
My reaction to this quote is that Abraham Lincoln is referring to the ideal that once people have power they tend to abuse it for their advantage, and personal gain. For Example, gerrymandering. Gerrymandering is the manipulation of the county sizing and grouping in states by the Legislative branch to guarantee their reelection into federal or state offices. A typically Democratic city perhaps may be grouped or redrawn to conjoin with a vastly Republican populated area, creating a larger group of supporters of one party, and a polarized county.
