1) anger or misplaced passion against the light leaving them at the "close of the day" perhaps showing a sadness at misuse of time left which would leave them "burn"ing with regret.

2) the rage could mean anger at the light leaving them isolated in the dark because they feel so passionate about it=> a source of life?=>a source of livelihood?

3) whilst the " wisemen" seem to know that it is their time to die they still fight death because it is humans innate will to survive, it is what we are programmed to do, it is our Id and therefore the words of the Wisemen are uninspiring. they trigger no passions in life, as we as humans want to live.

4) in the stanza there are many images of "dark"ness which highlights the loneliness they feel. " burn and rave at close of day" is an interesting phrase because it not only suggests deep anger at the light abandoning them, but also suggests madness, insanity, as though they can't physically bear to be left.

5) they are saying how great their "frail deeds" would be if only somewhere else. they only are deemed lesser here, elsewhere they are saying their contribution would have been more widely accepted.

6) this stanza infers that the "good men" get changed by the "night" and it gives the image of gentleness and peace, but also change and this foreign idyllic "green bay" which could be the answer to these mans dreams of greatness.

7) they "sang the sun in flight" by giving it a glorious sendoff. they praised it when they had it and when they realised they no longer had a firm grasp of it they "grieved" its loss, because when they had the sun they praised it, but assumed it would be theirs forever and when they noticed its absence they grieved what power they had.

8) in this stanza there is obvious loss with the phrase "too late" which suggests that they could have saved the sun if they realised; they were too "blind" and that meant they had to "grieve their loss".

9) the passion and grief of their loss still plagues them, and the" father "who seems to be the closest to the narrator is being asked to" curse" and "bless" the speaker which, be confusion to the reader as they each contrast each other. this might suggest that he wants to be cursed for letting the sun "die" but also wants his father's blessing to reach out and anchor the sun to them, with the reason he is asking his father is because he is "fierce" he could be "fierce" in love, in war, in passion, in life, but all we know is that the father is stronger than the speaker, which wants strength to be leant to them.

10) the men do not go gently into death because they have been enlightened by the "dying sun" which gave them a new meaning to work for, to live for. when it says "blind eyes could blaze like meteors" the simile creates an image of new strength, of new hope, and suddenly they can't just die peacefully, because now they have a purpose.

11) in this poem light and dark play major roles with the light representing passion, knowledge and anger also with the dark representing a lack of knowledge, a lack of hope, a dying of the words that could make a blind man see.

What is a summary of bud,not buddy chapter2​
scoundrel [369]

   Bud thinks about how it's pointless to keep on fighting a fight when you know you are losing.

   Todd Amos, Bud's foster brother, starts beating up Bud pretty badly, so Bud curls up on the floor and protects his head.

   While Todd kicks Bud, Mrs. Amos walks into the room and Bud hides under the bed, so Todd kicks him under the bed.

   Todd falls to his knees pretending to catch his breath as if he were being attacked.

   Mrs. Amos is furious and scolds Bud for hitting Todd, who lies by saying that he had come in to remind Bud to pee in the toilet because he looks like he will wet the bed.

   It turns out that Mrs. Amos hates bed wetters.

   Bud tells us that he is a great liar and that Todd is, too. Maybe we're supposed to think that is cool?

   The third rule of Bud Caldwell's Rules and Things for Having a Funner Life and Making a Better Liar Out of Yourself is: if you have to tell a lie, make sure it is simple and easy to remember.

   Bud realizes that Mrs. Amos pretty much believes everything Todd says and thinks whatever Bud says is a lie.

   So who beat up whom? It turns out that Todd woke Bud up by shoving a pencil up his nose. (Ouch.) Todd also told him that he got the pencil up Bud's nose higher than all the other foster kids'. This Todd is a real charmer.

   So Todd is the kind of kid who abuses all the poor kids that the Amoses take in. Kind of hard not to feel sorry for poor Bud.

   Well, after Todd goes and calls Bud "Buddy," Bud socks him across the cheek. This makes Todd smile. Odd?

   Todd walks over to Bud and takes off his robe slowly, then goes ahead and beats Bud up. Again.

   Mrs. Amos tells Bud that she will not let him stay with them any more and that he can't sleep in her house that night. She and Mr. Amos bring in his suitcase, and Bud notices they've gone through it.

   In a rant, Mrs. Amos tells Bud that she has been "stung by my own people before" (2.37) and says that she doesn't have time to waste on those who "don't want to be uplifted" (2.37). She's pretty much decided that Bud is a bad kid and bad news.

   Mrs. Amos tells Bud that he has to sleep out in the shed, but Bud stops listening closely because he is worried about his things in his suitcase.

   After Bud reaches out for his case, Mrs. Amos says she's going to hang onto it so he won't steal anything.

   If that isn't bad enough, she threatens to whip him with a thick leather strap if he doesn't go apologize to Todd. Bud was going to apologize, anyway, because he didn't want to keep getting beaten up.

   Bud apologizes really well to each member of the family and begs Mrs. Amos not to send him back to the Home.

   He tells us that he actually does want to go back there, but you have to lie about what you really want to adults.

   The one hundred and eighteenth rule of Bud Caldwell's Rules and Things for Having a Funner Life and Making a Better Liar Out of Yourself is: give adults something they can take away from you, but not something you actually want…

   As they walk out, Todd adds that Bud should beware of the vampire bat, spiders, and centipedes in the shed. Todd says that the last boys to stay with the family got really hurt.

   Walking out to the shed with the silent Mr. Amos, Bud spots a shotgun in the kitchen and his suitcase under the kitchen table.

   The shed is dark, dirty, and old. Bud sees a big, black spot on the dirt floor and thinks it's blood.

   Mr. Amos shuts and locks the door.

   The shed is totally dark and totally scary.

"Well, my dear," said Mrs. Jennings, "and how did you travel?"

Economic concern and stability

Explanation:

The economic problem, which is sometimes considered the basic or core economic problem, argues that the available resources of an economy are inadequate to satisfy all human needs and desires. Economics involves learning how money can be distributed under inadequate circumstances.

The avoidance of undue volatility of the macro economy ensures economic stability. The economy would be seen as economically stable with fairly constant production growth and low and stable inflation.
