Answer:

The correct answer is option D) show that nature can be harsh and unfeeling.

Explanation:

At the end of the fourth stanza of the poem <em>Sea Lullaby</em> written by <em>Elinor Wylie</em>, the phrase "for a joke" refers to the fact that nature has no regrets for that murdered child. As if it were a joke for her. <em>"She choked him and beat him to death, for a joke." </em>

The sea, in all its greatness dragged him and hit him with its waves.

Another form of insensitivity is when the author says <em>"Now in silence she lingers, Beside him all night, To wash her long fingers, In silvery light.”. </em>

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

Yes, I have, It was Mabel from "Gravity Falls." She wanted to make summer last longer/Forever for all of her adventures to continue and never end, and to have fun with her brother and grandpa/uncle stan. The bad severely outweighed the good. People died, were turned into stone, hade their facial features moved around and had to live in fear for a while before things were cleaned up. All of this caused people to be scarred for life, never able to forget such an event. But when things return to normal, she learned a lesson and was fine with going home and summer ending.
