Answer: A. Ronald Givens
Explanation:
Mortals is about Ross Daniels who is a young writer that isn't having too much luck in the field of writing such that his job was to write obituaries in a local newspaper.
He inadvertently writes an obituary for Mr. Givens someday which got him fires because Mr. Givens wasn't actually dead even though he had been compared to as a turtle for his sluggishness.
Ross then tries to get to the bottoms of where he got the information that Mr. Givens was dead.
All of the nouns used (hammer, chain, furnace, brain, anvil) are explaining mighty things that the tiger is being compared to. The poem is simply saying that they are smart, speedy, and strong.
I hope this helped! If you have further questions don't be afraid to ask!

I would have felt successful because he had a career and fame at a young age
It’s been a while, but here’s what I remember:
1. The whole town got ready for the lottery
2. Everyone had to pick a piece of paper out of the black box
3. A woman (I forgot her name) gets the paper with the dot on it
4. The town stones her to death
It's first person! Third person is from an outside narrator, 2nd person is the author talking to the reader, and fourth person doesn't exist. :)
