Spender's childhood, based on this poem, was lonely and he spent much of his time frightened of the boys in his neighborhood.

The majority of the poem describes these rough boys who held Spender down. He describes their knees on his arms and the way they mocked his lisp. They threw mud at him and were never nice to him.

The beginning of the poem, however, makes clear that his parents kept him away from these kids. As a child, he was therefore lonely and scared.

Looking back on his childhood, the poet expresses sadness that these boys never showed him kindness. The final line shows that as a boy he would have forgiven them if they only smiled -- which they never did.

Which sentence does not contain any punctuation errors?

sveticcg [70]

I would say number "A" is correct. If you read all of them out loud, pausing for each comma/semicolon, you might notice that "A" and "B" sound the most reasonable. It may depend, but I would go with number "A" because the semicolon makes a bit more sense than a comma. It can be tricky to identify the difference sometimes. I hope this helped :)

What is the best way to describe Finny's character?

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

Finny. Gene's classmate and best friend. Finny is honest, handsome, self-confident, disarming, extremely likable, and the best athlete in the school; in short, he seems perfect in almost every way.
