[the peace ponies) soon figured out what they could do. in addition to attending the weekday mass meetings, they would

civil rights movement. the first of these consisted of using "direct action strategies to confront injustice, such as picketing
stores targeted by the selective buying campaign and holding sit-ins at segregated lunch counters. the other related
precept was nonviolence - that is, carrying out these actions quietly and respectfully without resorting to violence,
regardless of how white people, including the police, reacted.

Explanation:

The author writes about the members of the Peace Ponies organization and their collective strategies to further the civil rights cause. The narrative is in third person because the author does not take part in the story. Rather he talks about what they did using the third person.

Use of the third person can advantageous when the involvement of the author would not contribute to the more removed tone that third person narration portrays. Narrating in the third person can also give the author an aura of great knowledge and wisdom.

i don't see any questions on your profile, currently, but i'd be happy to try and with any problems that you have, so long as i understand the problem myself.

the first proposition is to question economic materialism and victorian christianity. the lines are:

“it moves us not.—great god! i'd rather be

a pagan suckled in a creed outworn; ”

wordsworth is stating that nature no longer interests mankind, that the latter is not “moved” by it and explains that ancient western paganism had a more positive attitude concerning nature since it lacked the perv erted judaeo-christian interpretation of having received the world and all its animals and elements from god to use as we , instead of humans actually being not only part of nature but its wardens, meant to appreciate it and protect it.

the next lines are:

“so might i, standing on this pleasant lea,

have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;

have sight of proteus coming from the sea;

or hear old triton blow his wreathed horn.”

wordsworth here make it very clear that by actually looking and contemplating nature, human beings would reconnect with happiness, serenity and purpose. the use of mythological figures is quite evocative as well, proteus is a greek mythological god of the changing sea. he personifies the sea that changes, which symbolizes the way nature changes and inevitably can change to be destructive not only due to natural causes but to human pollution. furthermore, the sea is even more symbolic since all life originated in the sea so it is not only our past but our future since no life form in our planet can survive without water and if all water is destroyed in earth all life will be gone as well.

he then uses triton which is symbolic of the synthesis of both nature and mankind. triton is a mythological greek god that has the upper body of a man and the lower body of a fish (a merman). this human fish duality evokes the fact that humans are not only human but also part of nature, the fish tail representing nature. the main attribute of this god was that he used a conch shell as a horn to calm the roaring seas. in other words, triton uses nature through science for the benefit of human sailors who risk death during tempests. with the use of such metaphor, wordworth is conveying the message that human technology   is supposed to use nature to preserve nature and thereby humanity as well.
