What occasion leads Milton to the thoughts in the poem?
Mamont248 [21]
The occasion that led Milton to write this was that he was graduating from university and he didn't know what to do with his life. There were pressures to both become an Anglican priest and to go to a school of fine arts. In the end he chose the second which turned out to be the best move he made in his life since he is after all one of the greatest poets in the history of the world.

The title "Another evening at the club" is close in meaning to "just another evening at the club." Given the events of the story
Nimfa-mama [501]
I had the same question and got all the points on my response here: The story, “Another Evening at the Club” is about Samia and a wealthy man that she’s married to. The significance in the title of the story is that when you add “just” to the title it makes the two times that they were in the club, seem unimportant. The two times that Samia and her husband went to the club were important parts of the story. The first time Samia had went she lost her emerald ring, and then blamed her servant. The husband was angry with the servant, smacked her, and had her taken to the police station for questioning. The next day the husband had gone to the club while Samia was at home, and that’s when she found the ring again. Both of these shows that it was another evening at the club, almost like saying this happened, then another day happened. The difference in language and how you word things is important because it can change the whole meaning.
I hope this helps because I literally just retyped all of it lol

Answer:

Popert, a parrot with blue eyes and red, green, and yellow feathers, is walking upside down in his cage just before dinnertime. He has been entertaining a visitor with friendly greetings like, “Hello, bird. Hello! Whatcha doing? Come here! Come here!”

“He talks all the time. He sings ‘Happy Birthday’ to me every day, including on my birthday,” chuckles Dee, 67, Popert’s human companion for almost 25 years. A long-time bird lover, Dee became Popert’s forever friend after answering a newspaper ad for the Amazon parrot by a family who could no longer care for him. She prepared Popert’s new home by buying a large bird cage and stocking it with safe toys and a bell to play with, along with a good perch for him to stand on, chew, and rub and groom his beak on. She consulted a veterinarian, who recommended a high-quality brand of nutritious bird food. Having raised lovebirds and conures in the past, Dee knew to avoid giving Popert certain types of people food, such as chocolate, that can be dangerous to birds.

Double yellow-headed Amazon parrots like Popert, named for their yellow napes and yellow crowns, often live for 70 years or more. Having one as a pet means a long-term commitment to provide security for the animal.

Because Popert is only 32, Dee, a retired attorney, has a provision for him in her will. “Popert might very well outlive me,” she says in an interview. “I have a friend with birds of his own who would be happy to take Popert. Dogs are such good pets, but they don’t live long enough. You don’t have that problem with parrots.”

Her dog stays quiet as Dee takes a telephone call, but Popert doesn’t. Soon after the call, he mimics her voice inflection. The bird sits on her shoulder and makes noise, acting as if he is talking on the phone, but his chatter does not include actual words.

Popert also can imitate sirens, which Dee learned after a grease fire broke out in her kitchen early one Sunday morning. Fortunately neither she nor her animals were hurt. Dee took Popert to the vet to ensure he did not suffer any other effects that weren’t visible. “I wanted to make sure Popert wasn’t suffering from smoke inhalation,” says Dee. “He was in a closed room, but the firemen broke the window.” Because Popert has a delicate respiratory system, Dee avoids using air freshener, hairspray, scented candles, plug-in deodorizers, Teflon-coated pans, and other beauty or household products with vapors inside the house. Cigarette smoke also can cause serious respiratory problems for birds, and even death.

The parrot’s repertoire includes other noises as well. He imitates the bark and meow of Dee’s furry pets, kept in a separate room for Popert’s safety. In addition to entertainment, the intelligent, sociable bird provides companionship and affection. When he is out of his cage enjoying exercise and social time, Popert often climbs on Dee’s shoulder and rubs her with his head and beak and preens her hair.
