Between the first and last stanzas of "digging," what change takes place in the speaker's attitude toward his pen? what significance does this change have for the speaker? in your answers, focus on the ideas of the pen as a gun (first stanza) and the pen as a digging tool (last stanza).

Between the first and last stanzas of "Digging," the speaker's attitude toward his pen changes from a negative tool which the gun represents putting an end to something, to a positive digging tool which a pen represents something which implies the start of something useful.  The significance this change has for the speaker is the concrete illustration of the fruits of an honest labor. 

idk i just need the points

the correct answer option for this is: false.

explanation:

we are given the following statement 'hawthorne thought of himself as a novelist' which is false.

the truth is that nathaniel hawthorne thought of himself as a romancer, rather than a novelist.

though it is ironic of him of him to consider himself a romancer rather than a novelist despite of the innocent women killings in the salem witch trials which occurred in colonial massachusetts between 1692 and 1693 .
