Answer:

The author in "On his blindness" refers to his blindness.

Explanation:

Jorge Luis Borges, the author of this poem, suffered from blindness and that is what he reflects in this poem.

What he means when he says "it breaks things down into a single thing, colorless, formless" is how he sees things because of blindness, as formless and colorless things.

This poem has a melancholic tone. The blindness that came to Borges in 1955 meant a great change for him, since he was a lover and fond of reading.

Breaks from the blue-black
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

breaks from the blue-black

skin of the water, dragging her shell

with its mossy scutes

across the shallows and through the rushes

and over the mudflats, to the uprise,

to the yellow sand,

to dig with her ungainly feet

a nest, and hunker there spewing

her white eggs down

into the darkness, and you think

of her patience, her fortitude,

her determination to complete

what she was born to do----

and then you realize a greater thing----

she doesn’t consider

what she was born to do.

She’s only filled

with an old blind wish.

It isn’t even hers but came to her

in the rain or the soft wind

which is a gate through which her life keeps walking.

She can’t see

herself apart from the rest of the world

The article, "Close Encounters of the Bear Kind," by Susan E. Quinlan is about a biologist named John Hechtel who tracks North A
jeka94

Answer and Explanation:

According to the reading of the article, we can see how the author positions a point of view in defense of the bears, showing the importance of studying them, understanding them and protecting them in detriment of the premeditated view of beast and violence that I fear from them .

The article shows that, in fact, the bear is a strong and ferocious animal, but threatened by human activities like all elements of nature. This reinforces the need for studies to combat the dangers that bears face and can protect them from extinction.

To do these researches, courageous people are needed, who risk to research the bear closely. In the text, the author uses as an example the researcher John, who to research and help the bears must infiltrate the animal's cave and hit it closely with a reassuring dart. Even in the midst of imminent danger, the researcher recognizes that promoting research that protects fauna is rewarding and, therefore, he is not afraid.
