ASAP ITS A CUMULATIVE EXAM Read the following excerpt from "The Boy Who Glowed.”

In the long distant past, upon the western shores of the Great Water, there lived a fisherman and his wife. They had no children and the nearest village was a day away. They lived alone, surrounded by rocky cliffs and dull, gray skies. Each day, the fisherman would go out upon the Great Water. His wife would sit on the beach watching the birds with their young circling in the sky and riding the waves. As the birds chatted and dove for minnows, she called out, "Oh, sea birds, how I wish I had children like you to keep me company during these long, gray days.”

now, of course, the quality and the seasonability of these winter dreams varied, but the stuff of them remained.   they persuaded dexter several years later to pass up a business course at the state university—his father, prospering now, would have paid his way—for the precarious advantage of attending an older and more famous university in the east, where he was bothered by his scanty funds. but do not get the impression, because his winter dreams happened to be concerned at first with musings on the rich, that there was anything merely snobbish in the boy. he wanted not association with glittering things and glittering people—he wanted the glittering things themselves. often he reached out for the best without knowing why he wanted it—and sometimes he ran up against the mysterious denials and prohibitions in which life indulges.
