One theme of rudyard kipling's "if" means that being an adult means doing what is difficult. in a well developed paragraph, explain how this theme develops. site specific pieces of textual evidence in your response and and focus on the language kipling uses to create the poems meaning. Hello It would mean alot if you helped me out with this If you want to read the story here it is If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, donā€™t deal in lies,
Or being hated, donā€™t give way to hating,
And yet donā€™t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dreamā€”and not make dreams your master;
If you can thinkā€”and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth youā€™ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ā€™em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ā€˜Hold on!ā€™

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kingsā€”nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty secondsā€™ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything thatā€™s in it,
Andā€”which is moreā€”youā€™ll be a Man, my son!

Which two lines in this excerpt from arthur conan doyle's "the contest" suggest that emperor nero was ruthless? each choice is in brackets. [an hour later the shepherd was well on his way to his mountain home, and about the same time the emperor, having received the chaplet of olympia for the incomparable excellence of his performance, was making inquiries with a frowning brow as to who the insolent person might be who had dared to utter such contemptuous criticisms.] [ā€œbring him to me here this instant,ā€ said he, ā€œand let marcus with his knife and branding-iron be in attendance.ā€] [ā€œrumours! ā€ cried the angry nero. ā€œwhat do you mean, arsenius? i tell you that the fellow was an ignorant upstart, with the bearing of a boor and the voice of a peacock.] [i have half a mind to burn their town about their ears so that they may remember my visit.ā€] [ā€œi conquered! you are mad, arsenius. what do you mean? ā€] [it is whispered that for once the great god pan has condescended to measure himself against a mortal.ā€]
