Read the following excerpt from the article "Vision, Voice and the Power of Creation: An Author Speaks Out," by T. A. Barron and

answer the question that follows:
Right now, I am spending a lot of time listening to the voice of a particularly compelling character: the young Merlin. In the end, I finally heard the voice of Merlin thanks to a surprising source: the haunting, mysterious hooting of a great horned owl outside the window of my Colorado home. As I listened to that owl's resonant [echoing] call in the pre-dawn hours one morning, something about it gave me a whole new cadence [rhythm], a whole new sound. And then, a whole new voice.

In this paragraph, what is the author's explicit message about his inspiration for Merlin's voice? (10 points)

1)He had difficulty finding Merlin's voice.

2)His inspiration was the owl outside his window.

3)His old ideas were not working for Merlin's voice.

4)He spent a lot of time thinking about Merlin's voice.

I believe the correct answer is <span>2) His inspiration was the owl outside his window. 
The author says so explicitly/directly in the excerpt above - he was struggling trying to find Merlin's voice when suddenly it came to him '</span><span>thanks to a surprising source: the haunting, mysterious hooting of a great horned owl...' So the inspiration came from the owl itself - that is what Barron directly states in the text above.</span>

What is an aspect of Tea Cake that is more fitting for Janie as a romantic partner?
Anettt [7]

'Their Eyes were Watching God' by Zora Neale Hurston is a story of a black girl named Janie and her lifetime experiences in realistic situations that are always prone to reflect problems for each one of us.

Explanation:

Hurston starts off the story with a description of how Janie lived with her grandmother until late teens and her ideas, personality and choices are very much based on this essence in her life. Janie being pointed out as a black in a photograph that she clicked with a group of white children makes her feel insecure, less confident and crucial with herself in her twenties.

In relationships, Janie starts to take decisions in a completely unconscious and emotional driven manner leading to sadness and grief later.

After Logan and Jody, Janie married Tea Cake despite knowing his unreasonable, unnecessary acts and habits. His selfishness, jealousy are all accepted by Janie though she suffers because of the same. Later in the story, his sacrifice to save her and dying in front of her, tells readers the main reason for us to understand that he is the right choice that Janie made better than Logan and Jody.
