Read the excerpt below from the novel Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J. K. Rowling and answer the question that follow

s. A breeze ruffled the neat hedges of Privet Drive, which lay silent and tidy under the inky sky, the very last place you would expect astonishing things to happen. Harry Potter rolled over inside his blankets without waking up. One small hand closed on the letter beside him and he slept on, not knowing he was special, not knowing he was famous, not knowing he would be woken in a few hours' time by Mrs. Dursley's scream as she opened the front door to put out the milk bottles, nor that he would spend the next few weeks being prodded and pinched by his cousin Dudley. . . . He couldn't know that at this very moment, people meeting in secret all over the country were holding up their glasses and saying in hushed voices: "To Harry Potter—the boy who lived!" Source: Rowling, J. K. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. New York: Scholastic Inc., 1997. 21. Print. The excerpt above is from page 21 of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J. K. Rowling. Which passage represents a correctly formatted quotation from the excerpt above?
A.)Harry Potter lies outside his aunt and uncle's house, unaware that his life has changed forever (Rowling 21).
B.)While Potter lies outside his aunt and uncle’s house, he “[sleeps] on, not knowing he [is] special” and praised all over the country (Rowling 21).
C.)A wind sweeps gently over the trimmed hedges of Privet Drive, which lies quiet and neat under the dark sky, not a place where one would expect anything out of the ordinary to occur (Rowling 21).
D.)The Harry Potter books are so entertaining because they paint a picture of a world in which we all want to live. We all long to find that extraordinary secret that will reveal our own special quality. Like little infant Potter waiting outside his aunt and uncle's house (Rowling 21), it's just a matter of time until we find that we are, after all, special.

How are the speakers’ sense of goals different in because i could not stop for death and some keep the sabbath going to church?
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

The correct answer is The speaker in the former knows exactly what her goal is, while the speaker in the latter believes that she has already achieved it.

Explanation:

In the poem <em>Because I could not stop for Death</em> the goal of the speaker is totally clear.

What she wants is for death to lead her to eternity.

The problem is that she realizes that death was not really her faithful friend who would take her to eternity, but that it took her to what would now be her new home: her new grave, <em>“A Swelling of the Ground."</em> which leads the speaker to realize the coldness and cruelty that death has.

While in the poem <em>"Some keep the Sabbath going to Church"</em> we can see how the speaker is really happy with his goal, which is to spend his church day at home. <u>She prefers to hear the birds sing rather than hear a sermon. </u>She does not need to hear how she has to get to heaven, because for her she has already arrived. And <u>she sees it in the nature that surrounds it, and in the tranquility of her home while doing the things she likes. </u>

Let's remember that<em> Emily Dickinson</em> was one of the greatest poetesses in history, and was characterized by her peculiar way of writing since her subjects were extravagant: she always talked about death and immortality.
