Answer:
The author couldn't follow his dreams because of the job market failure. He was an English major and wanted to be a writer but couldn't get the job. He tried for several months to get a job with no luck until he heard about an opening in a newspaper business. Nobody wanted the job so he took it. He didn't believe he could be a reporter because he never thought about it before. He wanted to write, not ask questions.
The failure of the job market shaped a motivator externally in the short story. If the job market was thriving, he would have probably found a writing job somewhere else instead of the reporter job he took. He would have never found his true passion for reporting with the failure.

Answer: The sea was like a rippling blanket of brochure-blue. Squabbling seagulls flew overhead, harassing the beachgoers in their endless hunger.

His wings were a blur of motion and he soon faded from sight. The opera of the sea washed over me and the wave-music was welcome.

Explanation:
One morning, Aunt Polly asks Tom to whitewash a fence. Tom does not want to do it, and he tries to convince Jim to do it instead of him when Aunt Polly arrives and says Tom has to do it by himself. However, Tom manages to convince another boy, Ben Rogers, to do it instead of him. Ben accepts and gives Tom an apple in exchange because Tom convinced him that whitewashing a fence is a task only for privileged boys.
By the end of the day, the fence is whitewashed and Tom gets a lot of different things from each boy who tried to whitewash a fence.
