Reread the last 2 lines of stanza 7. Which one BEST describes the change in the young man's attitude toward
Father William?
Father William
from sorrow to joy
by Lewis Carroll (1832-1898)
from mockery to admiration
"YOU are old, Father William," the young man
said,
And your hair has become very white;
And yet you incessantly stand on your head-
Do you think, at your age, it is right?"
from cautious to bold
"In my youth," Father William replied to his
son,
"I feared it might injure the brain;
But, now that I'm perfectly sure I have none,
Why, I do it again and again."
from curiosity to disinterest
