Cessation means the process of something, and bringing it to an end.
Despite being an active smoker for some time, stopping can have many positive health benefits. For a few weeks after quitting one might experience anxiety, cravings for nicotine, and an increased appetite. The positive side effects include better blood circulation, a stronger immune system, and an increase in energy. In my opinion, yes. Stopping smoking despite smoking for a long time is worth it.
Answer:
The theme of the poem is A. Memories provide opportunities for gratitude.
Explanation:
But let's face it: it is a sad gratitude. The speaker in the poem "The Self-Unseeing", by Thomas Hardy, is looking back at a childhood memory. The memory itself is happy and inspires gratitude. His father playing the fiddle, his mother sitting by the fire... Those were joyful times! However, there is some regret as the poem ends. The speaker realizes he did not pay attention to the happy moments while he was living them, back when he was younger. He seems to resent himself for that. Yet, his appreciation is now fully expressed through the poem.
