Read the stanza from “deliverance from another sore fit.” “thou knowest the sorrows that i felt; my plaints and groans were heard of thee, and how in sweat i seemed to melt thou 'st and thou regardest me.” what does the word regardest suggest about the speaker’s attitude toward god? the speaker considers god to be very close at all times. the speaker considers god to be largely unknowable. the speaker thinks of god as an old friend and guide. the speaker realizes that god watches from a great distance.

The speaker considers God to be very close at all times.

In the poem, the author uses the word "regard," which is a formal way of saying "to observe." She claims that God has seen her suffering and struggling, and after this passage, she goes on to discuss how God saw her suffering and restored her to health when she needed it the most. Therefore, she sounds like she believes that God was watching her closely all the time.

21 balloons is the story of professor william sherman's travels.

in 1883, he set off from san francisco for a balloon ride over the pacific and was found a month later floating with 21 balloons in the atlantic ocean. this seemed an astounding feat and everyone wanted to know what had happened.    

professor sherman was loyal, however, and said he would tell his tale first to the western american explorers club in san francisco, of which he was a member. this built up suspense for several chapters before he began to tell of the wonders of his adventures and the amazing island of krakatoa, an island which had just been blown up by a volcano.  

the residents of krakatoa are all millionaires who live under a "gourmet government" of their own devising. we get to see all the incredible adventures that creative people with unlimited resources would create according to the author.
