Answer:

The narrator of the "A Shropshire Lad" is an unhappy and pessimistic young soldier.

Explanation:

Alfred Edward Housman's collection of poem "A Shropshire Lad" was narrated by a young but pessimistic soldier who had lost a lot of people. This is a collection of sixty- three poems that shows sacrifice of the Shropshire lads who had died while serving the Queen.

And added to their deaths, he is surrounded by the themes of death even in the poetry he reads. He talks of the sacrifice of these men, "<em>the land they perished for</em>" implying the patriotic zeal in the soldiers. It's as if the feeling and concept of death or dying is meant to be with him as long as he lives.

Gloomy. The way which the character describes his cell makes it seem like a dark and gloomy place. He said they gave him a blanket and a toilet and thats it, the bars are rusty, the cell was crumbled. The guard even smiled at him as if he was enjoying putting him in there.

Hope this helped. Have a great day!

Answer:

If I wanted to leave the community I would ask to be released from it and if it was denied I would flee by the river.

Explanation:

"The Giver" presents a utopian society that, in an attempt to end any inequality in society, decides to monitor and make all the choices of society, including in relation to its professions and relationships. In chapter 6 of this book, we can see that it is possible to leave this community, if an individual wants to. In this chapter, we learn that there were cases of people who did not like the profession to which they were assigned and fled the community by crossing a river, but in this same chapter, we are informed that it is possible to lose a license to leave the community, if the individual does not want to do what you've been told.
