Use the excerpt from Peter Pan to answer the question.
Mrs. Darling came to the window, for at present she was keeping a sharp eye on Wendy. She told Peter that she had adopted all the other boys, and would like to adopt him also.
“Would you send me to school?” he inquired craftily.
"Yes.”
“And then to an office?”
"I suppose so.”
“Soon I would be a man?”
“Very soon.”
“I don’t want to go to school and learn solemn things,” he told her passionately. “I don’t want to be a man. O Wendy’s mother, if I was to wake up and feel there was a beard!”
“Peter,” said Wendy the comforter, “I should love you in a beard;” and Mrs. Darling stretched out her arms to him, but he repulsed her. “Keep back, lady, no one is going to catch me and make me a man.”
“But where are you going to live?”
“With Tink in the house we built for Wendy. The fairies are to put it high up among the treetops where they sleep at nights.”
“How lovely,” cried Wendy so longingly that Mrs. Darling tightened her grip.
“I thought all the fairies were dead,” Mrs. Darling said.
"There are always a lot of young ones,” explained Wendy, who was now quite an authority, “because you see when a new baby laughs for the first time a new fairy is born, and as there are always new babies there are always new fairies. They live in nests on the tops of trees; and the mauve ones are boys and the white ones are girls, and the blue ones are just little sillies who are not sure what they are.”
“I shall have such fun,” said Peter, with one eye on Wendy.
“It will be rather lonely in the evening,” she said, “sitting by the fire.”
“I shall have Tink.”
In one to two sentences, determine how Wendy's point of view changes as the dialogue continues.
At first, Wendy is concerned about Peter's future and tries to convince him to think about growing up, but as the dialogue continues, she becomes excited about the prospect of living with fairies.
Add another paragraph to what you just wrote, and make it clear, detailed, and informative.
This shift in Wendy's point of view highlights her conflicting desires between growing up and staying young. On one hand, she wants Peter to consider the practical aspects of life, such as going to school and becoming a man. On the other hand, she is drawn to the magical and fantastical world that Peter is offering her - a world where she can live with fairies and never grow old. This internal struggle reflects a common theme in children's literature, where protagonists must grapple with the decision to grow up or stay young forever. Ultimately, Wendy's excitement about living with the fairies suggests that she may be leaning towards staying young and embracing the imaginative world that Peter represents.
Use the excerpt from the poem "Late September" by Amy Lowell to answer the question.
Warmth of earth, and cloudless wind
Tearing off the husky rind,
Blowing feathered seeds to fall
By the sun-baked, sheltering wall.
In three to five sentences, explain how the poet uses figurative language to express meaning in this stanza.
