The question is culled from the short story - By Degrees and Dilatory Time. In SL Huang's story, the key character - Marcus, is diagnosed with cancer in both eyes.

In line three, he retorts that he doesn't want new eyes. He is not as excited as his friends who see it as an opportunity to upgrade to advanced visual tech.

Between lines 30 and 33, Marcus feels bitter that it had to be him and that he had to experience a type of cancer so rare. Even rarer was the fact that it affected both eyes and was aggressive at that too.

In line 45, after the final procedure, he begins to have a shift in the way he feels about the eyes because they seem better than the old ones, only that there was slight discomfort and everything seemed flat.

Between lines 55 and 59, he readjusts into his normal routine with slight modifications. He has to take breaks to sit in the dark. Thankfully, his boss is understanding.

He keeps his hobby - gaming suspended in the interim as the mere thought of it gives him headaches.

Then there is insomnia and a certain feeling of uncertainty about the way to adjust to his new looks.

Between lines 105 and 110, he notices that his friends have adjusted. This creates an internal conflict of depression and relief at the same time.

Meanwhile, Marcus signs up with a therapist to help with this conflict as well as his insomnia.

By line, 126, Marcus records seeing his therapist less often, only when needed, and realizes he is now indifferent about his new set of eyes.

It really depends on what chores you do. Chores can actually help children to work hard. Household chores such as washing and drying clothes can benefit the child when they leave the house and live on their own.

Read the following excerpt from Act I, Scene 2 and answer the question.
ipn [44]

Answer:

Romeo was in a melancholy mood when he came to the Capulet's home for a feast and this is because of the fair Rosaline who he fancies himself to be in love with. Coming to the Capulet's home despite the enmity between his family and theirs is a risk on its own, getting to meet Juliet and falling in love with her is the greatest risk to him.

If he didn't go for the feast he wouldn't have met Juliet and the tragedy would have been averted but fate has other plans for the two star crossed lovers.

He came to the feast for Rosaline but left with Juliet in his thoughts.
