I soon found the advantage of this change in my manners. The conversations |
engaged in went on more pleasantly. The modest way in which I proposed my
opinions, procured them a readier reception and less contradiction; I had less
mortification when I was found to be in the wrong, and I more easily prevailed
with others to give up their mistakes and join with me when I happened to be in
the right.

In Anna Sewell’s novel Black Beauty, the narrator’s master is a good and kind man. Which sentence in this excerpt reflects this trait through indirect characterization? Our master was a good, kind man. He gave us good food, good lodging, and kind words; he spoke as kindly to us as he did to his little children. We were all fond of him, and my mother loved him very much. When she saw him at the gate she would neigh with joy, and trot up to him. He would pat and stroke her and say, "Well, old Pet, and how is your little Darkie?" I was a dull black, so he called me Darkie; then he would give me a piece of bread, which was very good, and sometimes he brought a carrot for my mother. All the horses would come to him, but I think we were his favorites. My mother always took him to the town on a market day in a light gig.

PLEASE HELP I AM GIVING FIFTEEN POINTS INSTEAD OF TEN PLEASE I REALLY NEED HELP Reluctance Robert Frost OUT through the fields and the woods And over the walls I have wended; I have climbed the hills of view And looked at the world, and descended; I have come by the highway home, And lo, it is ended. The leaves are all dead on the ground, Save those that the oak is keeping To ravel them one by one And let them go scraping and creeping Out over the crusted snow, When others are sleeping. And the dead leaves lie huddled and still, No longer blown hither and thither; The last lone aster is gone; The flowers of the witch-hazel wither; The heart is still aching to seek, But the feet question 'Whither?' Ah, when to the heart of man Was it ever less than a treason To go with the drift of things, To yield with a grace to reason, And bow and accept and accept the end Of a love or a season? Based on this poem, what seems to be important to the author? Following the paths of others Making a point of rebellion Spending time in nature Taking many interesting walks

Or my true heart with treacherous revolt
Turn to another, this shall stay them both

Give me some present counsel or, behold
Twext my extremes and me this bloody knife
Shall play the umpire, arbitrating that
Which the commission of thy years and art
Could to no issue of true honour bring
Be not so long to speak I long to die
