what does the symbol of the sun “dragging them all back toward the winter” reveal about Gilbert’s feelings on time?

mestny [16]

Gilbert is talking about the unavoidably of time and doom in this line

Explanation:

Gilbert here says that the sun is “dragging them all back toward the winter”

Here the symbols of sun and winter are important to understand as well as the symbol of dragging.

The sun is a symbol of time as it is the harbinger of the new day and is the way people know that the time is passing.

The winter can also mean desolation and death too as the end of life is considered the winter of life.

Thus Gilbert here is talking about the inevitability of death in the world with this metaphor of time.

PART A: Which of the following best describes Terrance Powderly’s main argument for converting to an eight-hour work day? A. Red

leva [86]

The correct answer is B. Reducing hours will allow people to educate themselves on economy and business so that they may improve labour inequities and depressions.

In "The Plea for Eight Hours" (1890), Powderly makes an argument in favour of the eight-hour workday. The main argument can be found near the end of the text. He argues that if manufacturers and men worked eight hours, they would have time to study the finance and how to solve the problems that apparently force them to work long hours to make profits. With better understanding of business and economy, they would be able to work less hours but with the same profitability.
