In these lines from “Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard” by Thomas Gray, how do the images of the gem and the flower express the idea of unfulfilled potential? Gems, flowers, and talents can be appreciated only when they are seen. Gems, flowers, and talents, too, will die, their potential unfulfilled.

Gems, flowers, and talents can be appreciated only when they are seen.

Thomas Gray in “Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard” in the above lines laments about the unsung heroes who got buried with the time. He uses the metaphor of ‘gem’ and ‘flower’ to express the idea of unfulfilled potential which was not recognized and so were lost. As the lives of the poor and country people are lost and are buried in the country churchyard, in the same way, we ignore the best and most beautiful part of nature’s beauty.

List four things that are not required to be cited in your writing
Daniel [21]
I can't think of four things but I was always taught to always cite everything. Even if you think something is an original idea or phrase, look it up and make sure and if someone else has said that just put it in your work cited because that could be considered plagiarism. Also always cite direct quotes
