Answer:
The poet develops the theme by:
1. comparing overcoming the hardships in life to weathering a storm.
Explanation:
In "He Had His Dream" by Paul Laurence Dunbar, the speaker describes someone who does not let the difficulties of life determine his fate. Such difficulties are compared, in an extended metaphor, to a storm. Even though the stormy winds are strong enough to almost sink the ship, the man remains strong and hopeful. He tells himself the storm will soon pass, and he will be able to reach his destination when it does. The speaker is thus, comparing overcoming the hardships in life to weathering a storm.
Answer: Stanley is arrested, Stanley digs a hole, Stanley's grandfather is cursed, Stanley is proud of himself.
Explanation:
In Chapters 6 and 7 of <em>Holes</em> by <em>Louis Sachar</em>, Stanley was first arrested for ''stealing'' baseball player Clyde Livingston’s sneakers. Stanley is then told to dig a hole which he finds hard at first but continues anyway.
The story then goes to Stanley's great-great-grandfather, Elya Yelnats being cursed for breaking a promise to Madame Zeroni that he would carry her to the top of a mountain and sing to her.
Back to the present, Stanley is still digging and is bleeding from his blisters but keeps going till he finishes and was proud of digging the hole.
