why is this poem the biggest piece of junk on the planet it makes no sense

The right to make my dreams come true,
I ask, nay, I demand of life,
Nor shall fate's deadly contraband
Impede my steps, nor countermand;
Too long my heart against the ground
Has beat the dusty years around,
And now at length I rise! I wake!
And stride into the morning break!

Passage 1
The Mother

At first, she had a forbidding exterior, but her body was softer. With her eight legs, she had carefully built a den to prepare for her offspring. Nestled amongst rocks at the bottom of the sea, the mother octopus had forty clusters in her clutch, each containing about a thousand eggs. Watching the small, grape-like bunches, she tended them in her den with great care, and she never left them, not even to snatch a bit of food for herself.
It was springtime, and for fifty days, she prepared for her children to be born. While she waited, she was rarely at rest because the mother continually watched over and cleaned the eggs. Sometimes, she took them in her fluid arms and held them close to her mouth, and other times, she would slowly walk around the rock the egg sacks were attached to. She lifted each delicate bunch, one at a time, and carefully cleaned it.
She ate very little for nothing was in her reach. Her appetite had eventually vanished; crabs, clams, and oysters were not as important as looking after her eggs.
On the day her baby octopods were born, they were the size of ladybugs. The little eggs burst open, and the little octopods came out. They did not look like their mother. Their arms were a circle of hair-like threads. She was exhausted but proud of the work she had done to take care of her little ones.

Passage 2
Octopus Facts

Octopi, the plural of octopus, live in many different parts of the ocean. In the ocean, they prefer to live in coral reefs. Octopi have eight arms. The arms of an octopus have cups that can suck. In fact, the arms can also detect the flow of water.
Most octopi have soft bodies without an internal skeleton or internal shells. They also lack a protective outer shell. The only hard part in the body of an octopus is a beak which is almost shaped like a parrot's beak. The beak helps the octopus to squeeze through narrow slits between underwater rocks. Being able to squeeze through very narrow slits between underwater rocks is very helpful when an octopus is fleeing from its enemies.
An octopus usually needs be careful of other fish. Some octopi may have two fins and an internal shell. In this case, it is harder for them to squeeze into small spaces.
A female octopus focuses entirely on her unhatched eggs before they hatch. A female octopus may also neglect to eat during the (roughly) one month period that she awaits her eggs to hatch. The entire month is spent taking care of her unhatched eggs.
Octopi have a relatively short life span. Larger species, such as the North Pacific Giant Octopus, may live for up to five years in good conditions.

How are the two passages different?
A.
One is an informative piece about an animal, and the other is a made-up personal account of the life of an animal.
B.
One is an essay on the octopus, and the other is an essay about octopus eggs.
C.
One includes descriptions of something that is fantasy, and the other includes descriptions of only imaginary events.

What does the passage explain? (“The Beginnings of the Maasai.”)


Read the passage from “The Beginnings of the Maasai.”


Neiterkob was confused at first. It was one thing for an eruption to send cows flying up into the sky, but it was another problem entirely to get them down to earth again. The wise god knew how to solve the problem. Enkai grew a giant fig tree out on the plains. The tree grew rapidly, and its branches grew so high that they reached up into the heavens. One by one, Enkai sent the cattle walking down branches of the fig tree, all the way down to the roots at the ground. My father and our people accepted the cattle and began to herd them with the sticks that Enkai had given us. Now, the rest of the tribe calls my father the “Beginner of the Earth” because he mediates between Enkai and our tribe, just as he did when the cattle returned from the sky.

Read this passage about seals and sea lions and then answer the question that follows:

From a distance, they both look like seals, but once you get up close you can actually see the difference. Seals and sea lions are both fish-loving mammals. Moreover, handy flippers propel them both through the water. But while seals have a tiny opening on the side of their heads, sea lions have actual earflaps. Furthermore, sea lions use their back flippers like feet to scoot along the beach. On the other hand, seals must wriggle and roll to get ahead. On the whole, when you visit a zoo or theme park, it's the honking, barking, funny sea lion you're likely to find playing to the crowds for fishy treats, earflaps, and all.

Use the poem "Recuerdo" by Edna St. Vincent Millay to complete the activity.

(1) We were very tired, we were very merry—

We had gone back and forth all night on the ferry.

It was bare and bright, and smelled like a stable—

But we looked into a fire, we leaned across a table,

We lay on a hill-top underneath the moon;

And the whistles kept blowing, and the dawn came soon.

(2) We were very tired, we were very merry—

We had gone back and forth all night on the ferry;

And you ate an apple, and I ate a pear,

From a dozen of each we had bought somewhere;

And the sky went wan, and the wind came cold,

And the sun rose dripping, a bucketful of gold.

(3) We were very tired, we were very merry,

We had gone back and forth all night on the ferry.

We hailed, “Good morrow, mother!” to a shawl-covered head,

And bought a morning paper, which neither of us read;

And she wept, “God bless you!” for the apples and pears,

And we gave her all our money but our subway fares.
