Answer:

B. The speaker is admiring nature.

Explanation:

Nikki Grimes's poem "First Night" is a short poem of 18 lines separated in three stanzas. In the poem, the speaker talks of the beauty of the night sky and addressed another person named<em> "Zuri"</em>.

The speaker was camping out at her aunt's backyard, narrating the poem as a letter to <em>"Zuri"</em>. Line 5 and 6 says<em> "Sleeping was hard with all the sparkling beauty hanging overhead"</em>. Further lines reveal<em> "Night-lights", "cluster of fireflies", </em>and<em> "the sky"</em>, all a wondrous sight for the speaker. The beautiful nature, the night sky, and its beauty made sleeping difficult for the speaker.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.

Answer:

1) Althea Gibson was full of energy and she was dedicated and she never gave up which shows she was determined.

2) Gibson faced some hardships such as almost going bankrupt, she suffered from a stroke which lead to her developing heart problems, and from there her health was just declining more and more, she faced the hardship of many white people not allowing her to play or her getting a hotel room because she was black.

3) Billie Jean King means that if it wasn't for Gibson then many black woman would have to work harder and they wouldn't believe that they could do it, but Gibson showed the world that you can do anything if you put your heart and dedication into it.

4) You can tell that Gibson always wanted to improve herself because she said that she wanted to be somebody "But Gibson did not let this get her down. She kept playing hard. She wanted to be the best". She kept practicing and working harder to improve herself.

5) Yes, I believe that Althea Gibson is a sport legend. I believe this because she faced so many hardships in her life but didn't give up, those hardships that she faced just shaped her more and made her more determined. Most people just give up but she was not going to because she wanted to be the best there was. I also think she is a sports legend because she had so much determination and perseverance and she was one of the people who broke the record and showed other black woman and men that they can do anything with hard work, practice, determination and they can be anyone no matter their color. "But she kept trying". "She kept playing hard". "She was named the female athlete of the year. She was the first african american to win that honor". "Her success made it easier for African Americans, and other woman, to succeed in the sport." and finally "Gibson showed it could be done".
