The Author creates a tone of regret in the poem "On Turning Ten." Which Line best demonstrates the tone of regret. Select all that apply. 1) "Disfiguring chicken pox of the soul" ***
2) "The perfect simplicity of being one"
3) "But now I am mostly at the window"
4) "You tell me it is too early to be looking back" ***
I am very sure about four being correct, although I am unsure about my other answer.
The poem if needed:

On Turning Ten (Billy Collins).

The whole Idea of it makes me feel
like I'm coming down with something,
something worse than any stomach ache.
Or the headaches I get from reading in bad light-
a kind of measles to the spirit,
a mumps of the psyche,
a disfiguring chicken pox of the soul.

You tell me it is too early to be looking back,
but that is because you have forgotten
the perfect simplicity of being one
and the beautiful complexity introduced by two.
But I can lie on my bed and remember every digit.
At four I was an Arabian wizard.
I could make myself invisible
by drinking a glass of milk a certain way.
At seven I was a solider, at nine a prince.

But now I am mostly at the window
watching the late afternoon light.
Back then it never fell so solemnly

I'm going to cut the poem off there.
-Thank you for the help.

Ead this excerpt from the introduction to wheels of change by sue macy. imagine a population imprisoned by their very clothing; the stiff corsets, heavy skirts, and voluminous petticoats that made it difficult to take a deep breath, let alone exercise. add to that the laws and social conventions that cemented a man's place as head of the household and holder of the purse strings. how suffocated women must have felt. and how liberated they must have been as they pedaled their wheels toward new horizons. why does the author include this excerpt?

Read the excerpt from elie wiesel’s all rivers run to the sea. why were those trains allowed to roll unhindered into poland? why were the tracks leading to birkenau never bombed? i have put these questions to american presidents and generals and to high-ranking soviet officers. since moscow and washington knew what the killers were doing in the death camps, why was nothing done at least to slow down their “production”? that not a single allied military aircraft ever tried to destroy the rail lines converging on auschwitz remains an outrageous enigma to me. birkenau was “processing” ten thousand jews a day. stopping a single convoy for a single night—or even for just a few hours—would have prolonged so many lives. based on the paragraph, the author would most likely agree that it is best to avoid confrontation at all costs. people need to be proactive when they witness an injustice. countries should remain neutral to keep alliances strong. moscow and washington are to be blamed for the holocaust.
