button on her control panel.
Answer:
"IT MATTERS NOT WHAT SOMEONE IS BORN BUT WHAT THEY GROW TO BE" – J.K. ROWLING, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
This quote means a person's beginnings, whether impoverished or disadvantaged, do not dictate their future achievements or position of power. Similarly, one born with illness can still become a champion athlete, and vice versa.
Being born with advantages doesn’t guarantee an easy life; struggles affect everyone regardless of their start.
Examples include:
Jay Gatsby in The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
Okonkwo in Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe
Imagists advocated that poems should focus solely on tangible experiences. They portrayed vivid images and refrained from interpreting these images, allowing readers to derive their own meanings or values.
They particularly enjoyed illustrating that seemingly dissimilar images could hold striking similarities. Ezra Pound famously demonstrated this in his poem "In a Station of the Metro," where he equated "faces in the crowd" with "petals on a wet, black bough."
The poem you referenced similarly connects the footprints of a cat in the snow to the flowers of a plum tree. The author wishes for the reader to appreciate the unexpected visual likeness of both elements, ultimately showcasing a universal interrelation as two vastly different items reveal surprising similarities.
Therefore, I believe answer A is the most fitting.
Your answer indicates that A is true, as opinions expressed must be bolstered by relevant facts, examples, or personal experiences.
