Essay/ analytical response Believing that one’s level intelligence is fixed, or unchanging, from birth (i. e. the “nature” side in the “nature v. s nurture” argument) can be a dangerous and self-defeating way to think, according to the author of the essay “Origin of Intelligence.”

Are there any similar problems in believing that a person’s intelligence is shaped mainly by their environment?

In an analytical response, argue whether there are any dangers to attributing a person’s intelligence mainly to socioeconomic factors (aka, factors relating to one’s place of birth, income/wealth, education, occupation, etc.) using textual evidence.

 look. i'll wrap all my hair round his neck' – the sea's rising,
 the boat must be lightened. he's dead. he must go.' 


 see - quick - by that flash, where the bitter foam tosses, 
 the cloud of white faces, in the black open boat, 
 and the wild pleading woman that clasps her dead lover 
 and wraps her loose hair round his breast and his throat.
 'come, lady, he's dead.' - 'no, i feel his heart beating,
 he's living, i know. but he's numbed with the cold. 
 see, i'm wrapping my hair all around him to warm him.' -
- 'no. we can't keep the dead, dear. come, loosen your hold.

 'come. loosen your fingers.' - 'o god, let me keep him! ' -
 o, hide it, black night! let the winds have their way! 
 and there are no voices or ghosts from that darkness, 
 to fret the bare seas at the breaking of day. the shift in the poem’s rhythm in the last stanza signifies a resolution to the conflict that the poem is a sonnet the speaker’s confusion an irregular rhyme scheme
