How does bicycling help her leave her loneliness behind? Cite passages from the poem to support your points.
The Rider

Naomi Shihab Nye



A boy told me
if he rollerskated fast enough
his loneliness couldn't catch up to him,



the best reason I ever heard
5 for trying to be a champion.



What I wonder tonight
pedaling hard down King William Street
is if it translates to bicycles.



A victory! To leave your loneliness
10 panting behind you on some street corner
while you float free into a cloud of sudden azaleas,
luminous pink petals that have
never felt loneliness,
no matter how slowly they fell.

Loneliness means being sad, not having anyone to be with. As he was cycling down the road, he recalled what the roller skater said about skating fast enough to leave your loneliness behind. He wondered if this could also be done by cycling, he found out immediately that this method works. As he pedaled on, he realized he was happy. 


I hope this helps :)

HELP HELP HELP I need to do an essay about if animals shud be kept in zoos but I FORGOT. an y'all copy and paste yours??? PLS AN
lana66690 [7]

In my opinion, I think animals shouldnt be kept in zoos because zoos dont provide good natural habitats and can put unnecessary stress on the animals. For example, zoos dont have the right facilities for hibernation animals and big animals like elephants. Zoos can be too small and limited for the elephants. Because their habitat isnt big enough to migrate, this can change their behavior and can lead to aggression. Also, zoos to people are for entertainment so animals are captured and is put into poor habitats with poor conditions and separated from other animals of their own.
