Read the poem "bacchus's regret" by hunter doyle and answer the question.
[1] king midas returned my beloved teacher to me,
so i rewarded him with a wish—whatever he wanted would be.
midas cried, "give my fingers a golden touch!
then, i shall have a gilded kingdom and such."
[5] i tried to make him see the err of his choice,
but he would not heed the caution in my voice.
i pleaded with midas, "be careful what you choose,
for you're only thinking of what you'll gain—not what you'll lose."
[9] his thirst for wealth became no match for his appetite;
after all, a gold apple is not something one can bite.
his daughter wept for her poor starving dad,
so he wiped her tears and told her not to be sad.
[13] into a golden statue midas's daughter became,
and he and his greedy wish were ultimately to blame.
yet, maybe if i had put up more of a fight and a fret,
then i wouldn't have to live with all this regret.
select the line that best supports the theme greed can have negative consequences.

What is the tone of the following passage from a river runs through it by norman maclean? “this was the last fish we were ever to see paul catch. my father and i talked about this moment several times later, and whatever our other feelings, we always felt it fitting that, when we saw him catch his last fish, we never saw the fish but only the artistry of the fisherman.”
