In the long distant past, upon the western shores of the Great Water, there lived a fisherman and his wife. They had no children

and the nearest village was a day away. They lived alone, surrounded by rocky cliffs and dull, gray skies. Each day, the fisherman would go out upon the Great Water. His wife would sit on the beach watching the birds with their young circling in the sky and riding the waves. As the birds chatted and dove for minnows, she called out, "Oh, sea birds, how I wish I had children like you to keep me company during these long, gray days."
The description of this setting emphasizes how the wife of the fisherman feels because

A. the faraway location mirrors the distrust she has of the people who live in the village.

B. the isolation of her home emphasizes her desire to live closer to the village and its people.

C. the cold landscape's desolation reflects the sadness she feels about not having any children.

D. the closeness to the ocean shows readers that she has a deep love for the open sea.

DerKrebs [107]

In the poem, the poet makes comparison of the children who have to work at a young age with the dreams that they have about their life with their real life.

<u>Explanation:</u>

"The chimney sweeper" is a poem written by William Blake. In the poem, the poet makes comparison of the life that the children have to spend who start working at a very young age with the dreams that they see of spending their lives.

The children want to laugh, run, enjoy, shine and play in their childhood. But in reality they are made to work hard. Their dreams are like locked and caught up in a coffin.

Based on the dreams that the speaker describes, it is reasonable to infer that the speaker is hopeful all people will experience
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

A. is hopeful all people will experience the same freedoms he enjoys.

Explanation:

Below is the excerpt from "I Dream a World" by Langston Hughes.

A world I dream where black or white,

Whatever race you be,

Will share the bounties of the earth

And every man is free,

Where wretchedness will hang its head

And joy, like a pearl,

Attends the needs of all mankind—

Of such I dream, my world!

The speaker in this poem actually infers that he is hopeful all people will experience the same freedoms he enjoys.

This can be seen from the concluding part of the excerpt where he said,

"Of such I dream, my world!"

This means it's actually something he is enjoying which he wants people to join - in his world.

"I Dream A World" is a poem written by Langston Hughes, an American writer of Harlem Renaissance. He made the African-Americans to have an experience of the subject of his writings.
