Housman is actually saying that, for the athlete, an early death is a positive thing.

His poem is similar to the idea that "it's better to burn out than fade away." Housman explains that, if the athlete were to live to an old age, he would live to see others beat his records (his eyes "cannot see the record cut") and live to see his renown (or fame, reputation) forgotten ("runners whom renown outran and the name died before the man").

By dying young, however, the athlete will be forever in his moment of glory. He won't be alive when someone inevitably beats his record. Housman is saying that disappointment and corruption (old age and decay) are inevitable, but by dying young, the athlete avoids experiencing disappointment and corruption.

disa [49]
Well the one of the most suspicious things in the book is when Jamie sees her own face on the milk carton, hence the title.
Hannah is likely the one who kidnapped Jamie, but with good intentions. Jamie's grandparents weren't at fault.
The clues revealed very little, just that Hannah's conflct with the cult hindered her ability to take care of Jamie.
Conflict was resolved when they found each other again.
Jamie found evidence to every aspect of the alleged kidnapping, including the dress in the picture, which she found in the attic.

Hope this helps!

Contrast the point of view of Gessen and Sakura form the stingy artist
enyata [817]

Answer: Gessen and Sakura do have very different points of view about the painter and his fees. Sakura believes it is shameful for him to bring up money, and she says that he is greedy. Gessen does not feel shame in charging so much from rich people when it is to a good cause. He suffers through their scorn because he knows the money is being spent to improve the lives of the poor villagers, who he will later spend the money on.
