Ihave studied many times
the marble which was chiseled for me--
a boat with a furled sail at rest in a harbor.
in truth it pictures not my destination
but my life.
for love was offered me and i shrank from its disillusionment;
sorrow knocked at my door, but i was afraid;
ambition called to me, but i dreaded the chances.
yet all the while i hungered for meaning in my life.
and now i know that we must lift the sail
and catch the winds of destiny
wherever they drive the boat.
to put meaning in one's life may end in madness,
but life without meaning is the torture
of restlessness and vague desire--
it is a boat longing for the sea and yet afraid.
which lines in the poem suggest that finding meaning in one's life can be very dangerous?
a) "a boat with a furled sail at rest in a harbor."
b) "to put meaning in one's life may end in "
c) "yet all the while i hungered for meaning in my life."

d) "we must lift the "

4. at the conclusion of frankenstein, robert walton has an encounter with the monster, who arrives after victor frankenstein has died. perhaps surprisingly, the monster mourns his creator and expresses remorse over the fate that victor suffered. the monster pledges to destroy himself and then departs, disappearing as he goes further north. how does the monster’s behavior and attitude in this part of the novel affect the way readers view him? is he sympathetic? is he more hateful because it is only after victor has died that he relents? how does the change in the monster fit with the theme of duality in the novel?
