<em>Modernity has changed the role of the child in the family structure.</em>
In earlier days, a child was an investment for the family. Children were there to take care of their parents in their old age. Boys were supposed to fight and bring money home, girls were expected to help in the household and to marry well later in life. The family structure depended on them for survival and that's why families used to have many children, There was also a strong sense of honoring and obedience towards one's parents. They were seen an the absolute authority and disobedience was frown upon and even punished.
Nowadays, our culture has removed the most functional demands kids have to the family. The children are still seen as an investment but in a way that elevates the parents' prestige and not in the materialistic sense. Parents provide education for their kids so that the kids can get a good job, take care of themselves and live independently as adults. In many families, parents do not expect their children to look after them in old age. Children today have far more rights and fewer obligations as before, as their upbringing is centered on providing for their needs first. Therefore, many children today feel entitled to play a leading role in the family, demanding full attention of their parents. Disobedience is often not punished and misbehavior tolerated.
In the second stanza, the poet describes the number of daffodils. ... 'I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud' is one of the most pleasing poem by William Wordsworth which illustrates the beautiful nature and how nature's beauty have the power to brighten up a person's mood.
Hi There! :)
<span>Which of the following statement describes the relationship of William Blake and Thomas gray to William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge

3. Offended and disappointed have negative connotations. They’re not good. Satisfied is content, it’s more neutral. Delighted is highly positive.
Let's start with an obvious one. He certainly is not a coward. He was willing to take on a dog that was ferocious; in contrast, Heathcliff makes the comment that the "cowardly children also crept forward..." That quoted phrase is somewhere near the very end.
Your first example of yellow underlining is a wonderful example. Heathcliff is quite common and he would use common English. He characterizes Cathy as being gentile and not given to saying anything contrary to her upbringing.
I would note that Heathcliff followed grumbling execrations and vengeance. [an execration is a threat denouncement or curse. Again Heathcliff is showing his common upbringing. Cathy would choke before she would utter such things. This one is kind of iffy. You could omit it. It is by inference something that shows that Heathcliff is different].
Your second underlined statement is correct. It characterizes Heathcliff as a robber and a thief and part of a lowlife gang. You could go on. Robert does not hesitate to make his feelings known and adds to what you underlined.
Your third underlined statement is correct as well. I have added two but your examples are fine.
Who marks this? Make an appeal if you get it wrong. Interpreting literature is that way. This is not exactly a factual question and the only way to answer it is to compare Heathcliff to someone else. I chose Robert and Cathy. Write your instructor and provide some of the evidence you have provided here.
