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.

Some people prefer to have many friends, while others prefer to have only one or two close friends. Think carefully about this i
Flura [38]

Having many friends and having few friends is obviously thinking of the amount of friends without caring much about quality. It's good to have few friends, but to have true friends.

It is always preferable to have quality friendships. Friendships built on trust, caring, love, understanding and reciprocity. A friendship between two people is between two people, never a single part. It has to have both parts. It must be a friendship strengthened in personal, intimate, and deep knowledge, to the point of this friendship overcoming difficulties, confusion, misunderstandings, quarrels, everything. This kind of friendship is built with quality. And nowadays few people possess those characteristics or are willing to acquire them. That is why friendship should never be based on quantity, on the largest number of friends. If we have few friends but friends with these characteristics, we know that they are real friends.
