Answer 2

No sensible career was good enough. A simple job or education is not good enough. Only a hero could deserve such love. Like a hero from the military, or people that go on to persue their career to the maximum.

Answer 3

The Average by W. H. Auden
(born) 1907

you have to read the whole poem to understand it.


His peasant parents killed themselves with toil
To let their darling leave a stingy soil
For any of those smart professions which
Encourage shallow breathing, and grow rich.

The pressure of their fond ambition made
Their shy and country-loving child afraid
No sensible career was good enough,
Only a hero could deserve such love.

So here he was without maps or supplies,
A hundred miles from any decent town;
The desert glared into his blood-shot eyes;

The silence roared displeasure: looking down,
He saw the shadow of an Average Man
Attempting the exceptional, and ran.

Answer 4

You would have to give more than two sentences. Were they in a poem? Then add the whole poem. Were they out of a paragraph from a book? Then add the whole paragraph. To try to interpret what you have here by itself is impossible.

Answer 5

Must be more to it?
