Reread these lines from the poem. and honored among foxes and pheasants by the gay house under the new made clouds and happy as the heart was long, in the sun born over and over, i ran my heedless ways, how do these lines reflect the theme that it is foolish to think the carefree days of youth can last?
1) they explain how unaware the speaker is that the innocence of childhood is fleeting.
2) they detail the aspects of childhood the speaker enjoyed day after day.
3) they describe the speaker as being the master of his own childhood and happiness.
4) they tell how the speaker paid little attention to his warning childhood.

The correct answer is option 1) They explain how unaware the speaker is that the innocence of childhood is fleeting.

Explanation:

Explicitly the author says that he went his way without paying attention.  (I ran my heedless ways)

That is to say, he continued to grow and leave his childhood behind without realizing it, because he was so happy at that moment that he did not perceive when he had stopped being young.

In this poem the author recounts all his childhood as a pleasant moment and with happy memories. But giving indications that this happiness will end.

He continues throughout the poem recounting all his experiences lived in such detail, that at the end of the poem he repeats the phrase "Nothing I cared", another sign that indicates that he was naive to be aware of the passage of time. And now he shows great regret because those magical days will no longer return.

there on the beach was a struggling turtle.   around its bright green neck was a loop of soda can rings.   in order to the planet, i have made a few changes to my life.   the first change is reducing the number of straws used. the second change was to recycle.   finally, i have worked hard to clean up litter.   it is important to clean our ocean.

you may not think straws have a large impact but they do.   imagine for every straw you sip out of a poor, , adorable turtle is being harmed.   one way i chipped in to is by using metal straws.   these straws are reusable and inexpensive.   another change is simply turning down straws.   by refusing a straw, i’m the turtles one drink at a time.  

however, the ocean just doesn't have turtles.   there are lots of creatures that live there and are harmed by all the litter.   to prevent litter from growing it’s important to recycle.   for me, i have started to buy most goods that are made out of recycled material.   pura vidas, chacos, purses, and too many other items to even count.   plus, when you buy those products they give money to charities.   not only am i the environment, but i’m also feeling better about my self.   finally, i have worked hard to clean up litter.   it is important to clean our ocean.
