The correct answer is D. The poet feels that traditional sources of inspiration are ineffective in the modern world
Explanation:
In the poem "Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock", the author T.S. Eliot explores multiple themes including love, inspiration, and the contrast between the modern world and the past. In the excerpt presented, the author refers to traditional poetry and the inspiration he finds in it by using the mermaids as a symbol, this can be seen in the line "I have heard the mermaids singing each to each" that shows how the mermaids or traditional poetry sing or give ideas to the poet.
However, it seems this inspiration is not as effective as the author expects because in the end, the author and the mermaids "drown". Also, the cause of the traditional poetry drowning is the "human voices" which likely refers to the loss of traditional values in the modern how and the mundanity of it.
Answer:
b. That he will likely grow more savage and less civilized.
Explanation:
In Chapter 4 of Lord of the Flies by William Golding, a scene shows Roger, a bully, targeting the smallest boy in the group named Henry with stones. Roger observes his environment to be sure that no one was looking before launching the stones at Henry. His action indicates that he is afraid of punishment but still has unrestrained savagery in him.
He intentionally misses the first throw possibly to see if the boy draws the attention of others. Since none of that happened and Roger had a handful of stones, it is very likely that he will become more savage and try out his bullying some more.
John F. Kennedy was an avid supporter of immigration. From the late 1800’s to the 1920’s the majority of the population was dedicated to immigrants coming to America in search of a better life. Many of these immigrants worked hard labor and dedicated many new ideas and inventions to the industry. Breakthrough technologies were introduced by immigrant backgrounds. Kennedy refused to let there be a second class in the caste system, he believed from the start that all men were equal no matter their origins. Immigrations greatly impacted the interpretation and attitudes of society, the work industry, and American History. Much of these reasons are the very ones that Kennedy recognized, and refused to let a democracy be the judge of taking away civil rights from those of a different country.
