Answer: The comparison between the human heart and the setting sun.

Explanation:

<em>"A Hymn to the Evening"</em> is a poem by Phillis Wheatley, an African American poet who ended up as a slave when she was only 12 years old.

The speaker in the poem compares the human heart to the beautiful sunset. She is convinced that this stunning sunset was created by God. Therefore, she wants to show her love for God by taking on the "glow" of the evening sunset. The poem was written based on her own experience as a slave. She would work during the whole day. In the evening, she would be allowed to rest, which explains the positive connotation of the sunset in this poem.

Why is it more important to pursue what makes you happy and passionate rather than a higher paycheck or better social status?
tatiyna

Answer:

In my experience you have two choices. You can either work during the week doing something you are not passionate about but make more money and do whatever you want on the weekends, or you can work for what you are passionate about 24/7  but make less money.

Personally I will pursue the second option because I feel that life is too short for me to live out my days in a box office.
