The Lady of Shalott is symbolic of an artist such as a poet because she also needs isolation so she can create. Plus, she has this idea that what she does stands at a superior level: it is magical, beyond ordinary. We can see it in the following line, which is the correct answer:
"She is forced into isolation from the real world by devotion to her craft."

I would say that the best theme to address those key points listed, would be: A. Feeling hopeless is unreasonable when faced with challenges.

In the first excerpt it is this sentence:"It was a difficult moment, but I did what seemed right, which was to say, "Of course not," and then to take her onto my lap and hold her for a while."Here we see that the author is really not comfortable with the question his daughter asked him and thus he lies to her. You can see the pain he feels in just one sentence and the horrors that are hidden behind. One day he may tell her but not then."They would discuss their experiences right up to the time of battle and then suddenly they wouldn't talk anymore."This sentence in the second excerpt show the unwillingness of the usually boastful people to talk about the war in detail.

The answer is very simple: no. No, we have not achieved full equality with regards of race. No, we should not feel like we have achieved such a thing. But, everyone’s answers will vary. Some might think that we have, some might think that we haven’t (which is the most intelligent answer, it shows that some people aren’t naive and/ or living in their own little world,) and some might not even care. Many forms of discrimination still exist in the world we live in today. Why would anybody “feel” as if we’ve already achieved any sort of equality when people (not all) are still going after others for something as simple and the color of their skin? Their culture? The country they’re from? The real question is; will we ever TRULY achieve equality?
