The Overview Effect by R. Lee Walters

7

Which of the statements below describes a theme from the poem?

A. Dragons are mystical beings that symbolize awe.

B. Human achievement will help society to persevere.

Before dawn the silent pines

Erupt like bated breath. Lift

off. The cedars rattle,

Vostok's capsule clambers

Up the tall victory column.

Somewhere above soft cover

An amber dragon bays chase.

Gagarin in his brave headdress,

leaps first over the damp wall

of a pale, purple prison.

C. Feelings of dread can force people to achieve less.

D. Space travel will allow humans to reach world peace.

honestly, school in itself just seems to be a huge waste of time. a lot of people graduate but still end up not doing anything in college anyways, which really makes the whole point of graduating seem useless. i'd rather not bring anyone's hopes up then. what i'd recommend is for whoever's reading this to simply drop out.

i mean, kanye did it. he said something along the lines of, "don't let society tell you what to do." now, he's obviously a very successful person, and since his album is called the college dropout i guess he never really had to go through all that nonsense in order to become a millionaire. the same goes for anyone else then.
