skin of the water, dragging her shell
with its mossy scutes

with an old blind wish.
it isn’t even hers but came to herc.
c. rawling up the high hill,
luminous under the sand that has packed against her skin,
she doesn’t dream
d. she knows
she is a part of the pond she lives in,
the tall trees are her children,

Explanation:

"The Turtle" is a poem by author Mary Oliver. The speaker describes the turtle's life purpose of leaving the water to lay eggs in the sand - a sacred, beautiful action done by instinct alone. That's what the speaker means when she says the turtle only has "an old blind wish" that "isn't even hers". The turtle performs the action without knowing why, unaware of any reasons, unaware of itself. The turtle does not have an ego, she does not make a distinction between herself and the rest of the world. Just like the world, she keeps on going, naturally, instinctively, doing what she has to do to keep her species going without understanding it.

B) She’s only filled

with an old blind wish.

It isn’t even hers but came to herc.

Explanation:

i decided to stay late in the laboratory to continue my experiment with the lightbulb. at midnight, thomas edison opened the door and walked in with his head held high.

1. he leaned on the wall and observed me carefully.

2. his harsh scrutiny made me self-conscious of my skills in the lab.

3. perhaps it was just me, but the air in the laboratory began to thicken as i found myself having difficulty to breathe.

4. i turned to look at him fully as i mentally prepared myself for what my very first words would be to thomas edison.

5. the next couple of seconds shocked me. it wasn't me who spoke, but rather him and with diction i could never think of using in a simple sentence.
