Read the passage from "the pursuit of happiness"
the woman on the far side of the desk looks at the floor,
her head full of ireland
and the potatoes that blackened and curled and rotted away.
we grew only sadness there
she wants to say.
but this she whispers instead:
"i have come to work as a chambermaid”
and the important person stamps her papers without hearing the rest.
"to scrub floors and wash linens until my hands are red and raw,
and i have polished happiness for my child
so she can become a teacher
with hands the color of cream.”
which excerpt from the poem best supports the overall theme?
and the important person stamps her papers without hearing the rest.
and the potatoes that blackened and curled and rotted away.
so she can become a teacher / with hands the color of cream.
the woman on the far side of the desk looks at the floor

Read this excerpt from the scarlet letter by nathaniel hawthorne and complete the sentence that follows. she had wandered, without rule or guidance, in a moral wilderness; as vast, as intricate and shadowy, as the untamed forest, amid the gloom of which they were now holding a colloquy that was to decide their fate. the author uses the point of view in the excerpt.
