Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

The poems "Dockery and Sons" and "Poetry of Departures" were written by Philip Larkin.

Explanation:

Philip Larkin was an English poet and writer who wrote the poems "Dockery and Sons" and "Poetry of Departures" among others. These two poems deal with life and the passing of time with life. The main themes in these two poems seem to be that of life in general.

"Dockery and Sons" is not really about Dockery or his son but more about the narrator persona who thinks back on his younger days, college days. The poem ends with him realizing that life is ruled by innate assumptions, accepting fate and the death that follows.

Likewise, "Poetry of Departures" is also a poem about life, with themes relating to moving forward with life. The acceptance of the given life, reforming and changing oneself and accepting the passing of life is once again addressed in the poem.

PLEASE HELP PLEASE HELPA wigwam of weather-stained canvas stood at the base of some irregularly ascending hills. A footpath wound its way gently down the sloping land till it reached the broad river bottom; creeping through the long swamp grasses that bent over it on either side, it came out on the edge of the Missouri.
Here, morning, noon, and evening, my mother came to draw water from the muddy stream for our household use. Always, when my mother started for the river, I stopped my play to run along with her. She was only of medium height. Often she was sad and silent, at which times her full arched lips were compressed into hard and bitter lines, and shadows fell under her black eyes. Then I clung to her hand and begged to know what made the tears fall.
"Hush; my little daughter must never talk about my tears;" and smiling through them, she patted my head and said, "Now let me see how fast you can run to-day." Whereupon I tore away at my highest possible speed, with my long black hair blowing in the breeze.
I was a wild little girl of seven. Loosely clad in a slip of brown buckskin, and light-footed with a pair of soft moccasins on my feet, I was as free as the wind that blew my hair, and no less spirited than a bounding deer. These were my mother's pride,—my wild freedom and overflowing spirits. She taught me no fear save that of intruding myself upon others.

Answers

The answer is B. They believed children should be carefree.

If you look at the mother, she seems to be hard at work, and even though the stress seems to be towing on her, she rather have her daughter play and be "free", than be burdened by labor and stress.

EXPLANATION

How is Mrs. Stevenson feeling as the scene begins? How do we know she is feeling that way? Cite details from the text to explain her condition.

Answers

Answer:

She is extremely irritated and we can see that because she hangs up and slams the phone angrily.

Explanation:

The question refers to the play "Sorry, Wrong Number". At the beginning of the play we are introduced to Mrs. Stevenson, who is trying to reach her husband via phone calls. The calls are not completed successfully, which makes Mrs. Stevenson more and more nervous. She is so irritated that she gives up on completing the call and slams the phone hard showing how angry and furious she is.

Answer:

As the scene begins, Mrs. Stevenson is feeling irritated and also fustrated because she is unable to reach the number she was dialing- actually her husband's office line.

We know this because in her fustration and irritation, she slams down the phone.

Below is an excerpt from the text that explains her condition:

Mrs. Stevenson is dialing a number on the phone as the curtain rises. She listens to the phone, slams down the receiver in irritation... She reaches for her pill bottle,  pours herself a glass of water, shakes out a pill, swallows it, then reaches for the phone again, dials the number nervously.

Explanation:

"Sorry, Wrong Number" is a play written by Lucille Fletcher.

It tells the story of a murder case which was planned by the husband of Mrs. Stevenson which was unknown to Mrs. Stevenson. Mrs. Stevenson overheard the conversation of the murderers but never knew she was to be the victim. She tried her possible best to stop the unknown victim from being murdered.
