The theme of Christina Georgina Rossetti's poem "Helen Grey" is, beauty isn't everything. We know this to be true because the Rossetti describes Helen Grey as "handsome" and "proud" but also says "But so you miss that modest charm / Which is the surest charm of all." This shows the reader that Helen Grey is very attractive and takes pride in her attraction. However, she has let her beauty go to her head, resulting in an unpleasant personality that no man has found her attractive. The last four lines of the poem "Helen Grey" support the its main theme by drawing the reader's attention to the reality of age and time. Time will continue to go by causing Helen to grow old, wrinkly, and gray. Time will pass and with it, Helen's beauty shall pass too. If she does not change her ways, she will be left with and unattractive personality, and face.

What connection does the author draw between Gilmore's actions and the success of the Montgomery bus boycott

Darya [45]

Answer:

Georgia Gilmore's act of cooking and selling for the movement helped in the sustenance of the bus boycott, thus indirectly helping in the success of the movement.

Explanation:

The Montgomery bus boycott was significant for Rosa Parks refused to give in to the demand of the whites and give up her seat. This event sparked the protest against the racial discrimination of the blacks by the whites.

Georgia Gilmore, on the other hand, was a cook and midwife among other abilities who helped sustain and keep the movement going. She cooked food, sold fried chicken and saved the profits from these acts. Then, she gave financial assistance to the protesters, indirectly helping to keep the movement going.

And in her acts of helping the protesters, she also led to the sustenance of the movement. She enabled the people to continue with their protest, knowing that they will not be deprived of food or even help. Her financial help provided people from having an alternative means of transportation, keeping the spirit of the protest alive.
