"So now do you see why books are hated and feared? They show the pores in the face of life. The comfortable people want only wax

moon faces, poreless, hairless, expressionless. We are living in a time when flowers are trying to live on flowers, instead of growing on good rain and black loam. Even fireworks, for all their prettiness, come from the chemistry of the earth. Yet somehow we think we can grow, feeding on flowers and fireworks, without completing the cycle back to reality. Do you know the legend of Hercules and Antaeus, the giant wrestler, whose strength was incredible so long as he stood firmly on the earth. But when he was held, rootless, in mid-air, by Hercules, he perished easily. If there isn't something in that legend for us annotations.

Mayoral Election Speech for Harold Marshall
lilavasa [31]

Answer: 2. They are unrealistic and are therefore unachievable.

Explanation:

Harold Marshall begins this speech by stating that he does have any idealistic promises that will magically fix the city. He states that he is simply a normal citizen and like the rest of the people has heard those promises before from previous mayoral candidates.

Explaining why he does not have such promises for the people, he states that every mayor that has promised them has receded into the annals of history without taking them any closer to the goals they promised. This paints a picture of a man who believes that those goals were unrealistic and by extension unachievable.
