Answer:

C. The speaker feels his talent has been rendered useless.

Explanation:

John Milton (the author of this sonnet) was completely blind and wrote “Sonnet XIX” as his response to his loss of sight. The overall theme of the sonnet is the loss and how he sort of realized the importance of experience. In the beginning of the sonnet, Milton suggests that his talent has been deferred when he became blind. The words, “dark”, “death”, and “useless” (lines 2-4) describe his emotional state.

Describe some of the different ways that Cole tries to become invisible. What does he eventually realize about what it means to

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

To make himself invisible, Cole tries to mask the human scent he has, so he bathes, wears clean clothes and tries to grab animals so he doesn't smell like a human. None of this works. He can only become invisible when he presents himself with a clean, calm mind, without malice and in harmony with nature. At that moment, he realizes that being invisible does not mean that no one can see him, but that no one can perceive him, hear him or feel him, as he enters a very deep and harmonious spiritual state.

Explanation:

"Touching the spirit bear" is a book written by Ben Mikaelsen and tells the story of Cole Matthews, a boy who beats a schoolmate in an extremely violent way, leaving him with several sequels and traumas. This act of violence causes Cole to be punished by being exiled to a remote island in Alaska and undergoing a spiritual treatment that brings harmony, calm and wisdom so that he stops promoting criminal acts and becomes a better person. Cole is very resistant to this type of punishment and continues to exhibit violent behavior, until he understands the benefits of confronting his own defects and establishing a harmony with the nature and spiritual beings it presents. This harmony will only be achieved when Cole manages to be invisible, but first he needs to understand what it is to be invisible and how this is possible.
