The correct answer and the sentence that best explains the meaning created by the metaphor in William Blake's "A Poison Tree" (1794) is C. The speaker nurtured his anger as one would nurture a tree.

Blake uses extended metaphor to make it easier to understand how his wrath grew, like a plant or a tree by his actions. There are several references to this fact: he watered it in fears and tears like you would water a plant. His anger grew like a plant and it bore fruit: an apple. Blake chose this fruit for the religious reference: It was the fruit that the devil used to tempt Adam and Eve. This fruit of anger is poisoned for the foe that beholds it shine.

How and where can power be used to help or hurt
jekas [21]
Hey there! I've been reading too much of "Tower of God" recently (it's a great webtoon!), so I'll take some examples from there. Don't worry! This isn't intended as an advertisement, haha.

The main character, Baam, acquires great power by season 2. He uses his immense abilities to protect his friends, instead of using it to purposely hurt anyone with the intent of making them suffer. Of course, this is in a comic, so it isn't really realistic. In real life, power (which is usually wealth or a powerful position) can be used to help others by donating to those in need. Charity and nonprofits all need those donations! They can be used to help make the world better for many.

On the other hand, there are people who use power for bad things. For example, a powerful business tyrant may use his influence and money to get rid of rivaling competitors. This is very dirty, but his power made hurting his rivals possible. Hurting them could mean anything from sabotaging their next big breakthrough project to something as overboard as killing them. 

Hope this helps! Have a great day :)

Write a diary entry to tell how you feel about arguments.
Alina [70]

Dear diary,

My parents started fighting and it really made me feel very uncomfortable. I started bursting into tears! I had no one to talk to about it! After I started to calm down a like bit I decided to write how I feel about arguments. It went something like this.
The second reason that we often say the wrong thing is because our first instincts are usually off. In fact, it’s often the words we lead with that get us into so much trouble. “That’s because too often we end up framing the issue as who’s right or who’s wrong,”Instead of trying to understand what’s really happening in a disagreement, we advocate for our position. I’m sitting on my bed writing this, I have to stop writing because I have school tomorrow. I hope tomorrow will be a better day.
