Fixed mindset and Growth mindset.
‘Fixed mindset’ as the name suggests is a state where a person believes that his abilities are fixed traits and which be changed. ‘Growth mindset’ on the other hand is a state where a person believes that his abilities can be changed and amplified through hard work and commitment.
Consider the following demonstration: since childhood I had a fixed mindset that I won’t ever be able to speak in front of a group of people because of my fear of public speaking. Because of this, I avoided speaking in elocution competitions despite being good at writing.
Now consider the next stage when my fixed mindset traits changed: After years of struggle and realization, it hit me that anybody can speak if one is confident enough. This stage of my life was called growth mindset when I even started taking parts in elocution competitions and even won the first prize in almost all the competitions.
You see, when fixed mindset of ‘I can’t do this’ changes to a growth mindset of ‘everything is possible’ great things begin to happen.

This genre reveals the journey traveled by the main character into various walks of life. It shows the changing of protagonist from being foolish to wise, his development and maturing.
Through the Tunnel is a short story written by Doris Lessing. This short story was first published in 1955 in the magazine of American weekly.

On the second morning of their vacations, during their routine of swimming and sunbathing, when Jerry's mother ask him if he wants to go somewhere else, Jerry denies and rather says that he wants to explore 'wild and rocky bay'. He wants to swim there because he wants to show his mother that he is mature and grown-up now, and doesn't need his mother to accompany him everywhere.

The poem has an abcb rhyme scheme.
Each stanza is a quatrain.
The poem contains two stanzas.
These three statements are correct. The poem has an abcb rhyme scheme. The rhyme scheme is determined by the last words of each line. The first line of the stanza is labeled a. The second line ending with shore does not rhyme with pass so it is labeled b. Stretched does not rhyme with either of the two preceding lines so it is labeled c. The last line of the stanza, more, rhymes with shore. It must be labeled b just like the second line. This results in the abcb rhyme scheme. It is the same in the second stanza. A quatrain is a stanza with four lines. Each of the two stanzas is made up of four lines so they are both quatrains.
