The correct answer here would be <u>Beware the pursuit of luxury as it will surely barricade the path that leads to self-awareness.</u>


The author clearly states his claim in the beginning of this excerpt:"<em>Most of the luxuries, and many of the so-called comforts of life, are not only not indispensable, but positive hindrances to the elevation of mankind</em>."

What he means by this is that we do not need as much we think we do and, in order to make progress as mankind, we should care less about luxury and rely more on reason and judgment.

I want to know what the figurative meaning is of the poem. Look at the picture above
liraira [26]

Answer:

He describes the choices as roads and explains his experience traveling the roads with metaphors.  The major theme of this poem is making choices in life and the author uses this situation to develop his poem by describing the decisions as roads. In the beginning of the poem the speaker places himself in a yellow wood. Therefore the season is probably fall, a time for change and color. The yellow wood symbolizes change. Then he says he stands at the fork of the road where the two roads split. The poem says he looks down as far as he can, which makes the road feel “long”, then it eventually disappears when it says it bent in the undergrowth. Which means he doesn't know for sure where this path will lead him. Then the speaker decides to take the “other” path. At first he says that the path is “perhaps the better claim”. It seems like the speaker thinks this path is better because it appears that the opportunities are greater. But then he contradicts himself in the next couple of lines by saying: “Though as for that the passing there had worn them really about the same”. Robert Frost uses imagery to convey that the speaker is not choosing the more difficult path. Contrarily, he isn’t choosing the “road less traveled” either. Both paths are equally untraveled, which I think is a point Frost wants to reinforce by repeating this idea at the beginning of the next stanza. The poem says: “And both that morning equally lay in leaves no step had trodden black”. The final stanza begins with: “ I shall be telling this with a sigh somewhere ages and ages hence”. I think it is unclear if he is looking back in regret or in satisfaction. The last few lines of the poem conclude it and makes it seem like one path has changed his life still unclear if it is in a bad or good way.

What are the major symbols in the novel: The Maze Runner? How do these symbols interact/reveal/emphasize the plot, setting, char
Ilya [14]
The Maze is a complex symbol representing both chaos and order. Every night the walls move and shift, making it harder for the Gladers to find an exit. These constant changes along with the apparent impossibility of actually solving the Maze make most of the Gladers see the Maze as a symbol of futility and chaos. Yet, like all labyrinths, the Maze only appears chaotic and random. Thomas teaches the Gladers to adopt a new, more all-inclusive perspective when viewing the Maze in order to see the rationality in its construction. As Thomas realizes, instead of shifting randomly, the Maze’s wall change in the same way according to a pattern that repeats itself on a monthly basis. While the boys were only trying to solve each section of the Maze individually, Thomas shows them that if they look at the Maze as a whole, then they will see that patterns in the Maze actually spell out a code word. As such, the Maze reveals how things and events that seem chaotic can actually be seen as ordered when looked at from a new perspective.
