Answer:
The narrator was deeply impacted about the death of his daughter because he wanted to find a way to bring peace to her death by enacting the policy of killing all the cats and dogs,<em> healthy or infected,</em><em> (since no one really knew which one was infected</em><em>) </em>within the village's vicinity. Somehow, focusing on this extreme measure made him comfortable at the thought that <u>no father or mother would experience having his son or daughter killed by an animal in the future.</u>
Explanation:
The question is related to the story entitled "The Red Bow," written by <em>George Saunders</em>.
It tells a story about a family whose daughter was killed by dogs. In order to ensure that the village would be safe from infected dogs who'd do the same incident in the future, they enacted a policy that all cats and dogs will be killed in the area with the help of the <em>"Animal Removal Officers."</em> Objecting the rule would bring about <u>penalties.</u>
Answer:
The poet changes the meter in a poem from one line to next is to make the words rhyme
Lizabeth understands the destroying of Mrs. Lottie' marigolds as her final act of childhood, the final act of innocence.
Lizabeth feelings that led her to destroy the marigolds were "the great need for my mother who was never there, the hopelessness of our poverty and degradation, the bewilderment of being neither child nor woman and yet both at once, the fear unleashed by my father’s tears".
The story is situated during the Great Depression. Her mother is never home because she has to work, her father cries because he can't provide for his family. You add the hopelessness of their poverty and the fact that she is going through defining times between being a woman and a child she doesn't understand at the moment, she must have felt confused and lonely, which leads to the destruction of the marigolds as an impulse she can't control.
Before she has stated that she hated those marigolds because they have the nerve to be beautiful in the midst of ugliness, they didn't match with the house, the times, and what she was feeling inside.
I suppose it's D and also B, with the addition that transcendentalists believed in God as existing in the inner self from where knowledge comes. Romanticism seek for knowledge outside the self, looking up the Universe.
