The answer is D: The speaker's dilemma is that his poetry is his only talent, and he feels he will be unable to serve God.

Milton, being a writer and having become blind, questions and wonders why he cannot see and what is the use of having this talent: "When I consider how my light is spend/ Ere half my days, in this dark world...", considers that the talent is useless; however his soul is inclined to serve God anyway differently from the servant that hid his only talent.

Read the excerpt from "The Crab That Played with the Sea."

Then the little girl-daughter put up her little soft brown arms with the beautiful white shell bracelets and said, ‘O Eldest Magician! when my father here talked to you at the Very Beginning, and I leaned upon his shoulder while the beasts were being taught their plays, one beast went away naughtily into the Sea before you had taught him his play. And the Eldest Magician said, ‘How wise are little children who see and are silent! What was the beast like?’ And the little girl-daughter said, ‘He was round and he was flat; and his eyes grew upon stalks; and he walked sideways like this; and he was covered with strong armour upon his back.’ And the Eldest Magician said, ‘How wise are little children who speak truth! Now I know where Pau Amma went. Give me the paddle!’ So he took the paddle; but there was no need to paddle, for the water flowed steadily past all the islands till they came to the place called Pusat Tasek—the Heart of the Sea—where the great hollow is that leads down to the heart of the world, and in that hollow grows the Wonderful Tree, Pauh Janggi, that bears the magic twin nuts.

Describe the neighbor to whom Scout grows close and what Scout learns about Boo

Ket [755]

Answer:

Jem and Dill grow closer, and Scout begins to feel left out of their friendship. As a result, she starts spending much of her time with one of their neighbors: Miss Maudie Atkinson, a widow with a talent for gardening and cake baking who was a childhood friend of Atticus's brother, Jack.

In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Boo Radley had a huge impact on the character development of both Jem and Scout. He taught them that one cannot judge a person on based on something as insubstantial as rumors. Rather judgements should be made based upon their actions.

2. What were two negative things that grew out of American expectations during the 1950s?

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

1) With the men coming home at the end of World War II, the women were expected to return to their duties as housewives and caretakers. This led to many decades of gender inequality, the effects of it we are still seeing today.

2) With the beginnings of the Cold War on the horizon, many Americans began creating intense and fanatical virtues of nationalism and American pride that, over the years, has incorporated trends of outright racism, bigotry, and misogyny.
