Explaining the Structure of a Poem - Quiz - Level E Question 4
Which choice BEST states the main idea of this stanza?
I've seen the daylight breaking high above the bough
I've found my destination and I've made my vow:
So whether you abhor me
Or deride me or ignore me
Mighty mountains loom before me and I won't stop now.
It took me a long time to figure
out my goal in life.
Though I can never reach my
goal, I won't stop trying.
I'll reach my goal no matter what
challenges I face.
Hateful people are trying to keep
me from reaching my goal.
