"A Shropshire Lad 2: Loveliest of trees, the cherry now" is a really short poem, only three stanzas long, that was written by author A.E Housman and which made part of a larger collection known as "A Shropshire Lad", that was published in 1896. This volume, as well as "Last Poems", which was published in 1922, were the only two poetic works published by Housman. "A Shropshire Lad 2: Loveliest of trees, the cherry now" narrates the story of a person, the speaker, who is reflecting on the passage of time, especially of his own years, as he observes nature around him and its changes, especially the cherry blossoms, spring and the land where he is standing. He also reflects on his own mortality and the way in which he may correctly pass the last 50 years that he has left, after having lived 20. Throughout the poem, there are many symbols that speak about passage of time and the shortness of life, but nothing shows how fast things might change in an instant, better, than the image of the C: Cherry blossoms, as the speaker notes that they are in bloom, dressed all in white, but just like his life, which is passing by, this might change really fast. So he wants to start taking advantage of the time he has left and live life to the fullest.
Answer:
Mrs. Jong is a proud woman who refuses to accept and keep a secondhand gift because she considers it an insult. In this regard, she requests that Vincent chuck the chess set, saying, "She not want it. We not want it." It's not something we desire. because the chess set is visibly used and has missing pieces.

Answer:
The theme of this story is ( D) Not everything is as scary as it seems
Explanation:
We human beings have filled our lives with unnecessary tensions and fears.Some of our worries are genuine but most of them are not genuine.We have our own perceptions and viewpoints regarding different things..
If instead of facing the reality we try to fear than our problems will multiply,but if we become bold and face the problems strongly than the problem automatically vanishes.Like in a story of caterpillar and a hare ,the caterpillar was trying to scare the hare by taking the possession of hare's house .Caterpillar boomed out loudly to hare that "i am the one who crush the rhinos and tramples the elephants into dust".This voice scared the hare a lot.He thought caterpillar to be a huge animal.So hare got scared to enter it's own house.But at the end hare got to know it was only a caterpillar and he was unnecessary getting scared.
Same goes with our lives,it is not as complicated as we have made it by keeping thousand of worries and fears in our mind.We must try to overcome each and every fear by facing it,rather than running away from it.This is the only key to success.
