From the poem ‘the Warlus and the carpenter’: Why did the eldest oyster choose not to come along with the Warlus and the carpenter? How did he convey his intentions?

Answer and Explanation:

"The Walrus and the Carpenter" is a poem by Lewis Carroll. The Walrus and the Carpenter are walking on a beach, inviting oysters to come and walk with them. Several young oysters end up following the two.

Why did the eldest oyster choose not to come along with the Walrus and the carpenter? How did he convey his intentions?

The eldest oyster is wiser, more experienced than the young oysters. He could perceive the Walrus and the Carpenter's true intentions. To convey that he did not wish to come with them, the oyster simply "winked his heavy eye, / And shook his heavy head." He was right to do so. In the end, the young oysters are eaten by the Walrus and the Carpenter.

Which two excerpts in the passage supports the claim that Paine believed the cost of the colonists' struggle against the British was well worth the outcome?
The Crisis, No. 1
by Thomas Paine (adapted excerpt)

. . . I turn with the warm ardor of a friend to those who have nobly stood, and are yet determined to stand the matter out: I call not upon a few, but upon all: not on this state or that state, but on every state: up and help us; lay your shoulders to the wheel; better have too much force than too little, when so great an object is at stake. Let it be told to the future world, that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive, that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet and to repulse it. Say not that thousands are gone, turn out your tens of thousands; throw not the burden of the day upon Providence, but "show your faith by your works," that you may be blessed. It matters not where you live, or what rank of life you hold, the effect or the blessing will reach you all. The far and the near, the home counties and the back, the rich and the poor, will suffer or rejoice alike. The heart that feels not now is cold; the children will criticize his cowardice, who shrinks back at a time when a little might have saved the whole, and made them happy. I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles. My own line of reasoning is to myself as straight and clear as a ray of light. Not all the treasures of the world, so far as I believe, could have induced me to support an offensive, for I think it wrong; but if a thief breaks into my house, burns and destroys my property, and threatens me, or those that are in it, and to "bind me in all cases whatsoever" to his absolute will, am I to suffer it?

Then I met Bill Tantum. Bill's nickname was "Mr.
Titanic," because he knew so much about the ship. I
would sit and listen for hours as he told me the
spellbinding story of what had happened the night she
sank. Together we would talk about my dream of finding
her. The Titanic began to mean more to me than simply a
challenging target to find in the deep ocean. This greatest
of all sea disasters soon gripped me as a fascinating and
moving human drama. Now the Titanic had me
completely under her spell!

Read the excerpt from The Secret Garden.

“What are you doing here?” she said, and she took Mary by the arm and pulled her away. “What did I tell you?”

“I turned round the wrong corner,” explained Mary. “I didn’t know which way to go and I heard someone crying.” She quite hated Mrs. Medlock at the moment, but she hated her more the next.

“You didn’t hear anything of the sort,” said the housekeeper. “You come along back to your own nursery or I’ll box your ears.”

And she took her by the arm and half pushed, half pulled her up one passage and down another until she pushed her in at the door of her own room.

“Now,” she said, “you stay where you’re told to stay or you’ll find yourself locked up. The master had better get you a governess, same as he said he would. You’re one that needs someone to look sharp after you. I’ve got enough to do.”

She went out of the room and slammed the door after her, and Mary went and sat on the hearth-rug, pale with rage. She did not cry, but ground her teeth.
