Explanation:

1. The poet Pablo Neruda has used "foot" in this poem "To the foot of his boy" as a metaphor for the trails and tribulations of human lives, his birth and death, his dreams and reality. The child's foot is not conscious that she is a Butterfly or an Apple when she is born. Yet as the child grows up to face life's challenges, including walking on stones and bits of glaze, the ladders and the rugged earth's roads, the foot is conscious that it is merely a foot, and that it cannot fly like butterfly nor can it grow up on a branch like an apple fruit.
2. The lesson Believe that Books Will Never Disappear by Roberto Alifano presents excerpts from a face-to-face interview between Jorge Luis Borges and Roberto Alifano. Jorge Luis Borges was an Argentine short-story writer, poet, and translator, who at the age of 55,  became partially blind. Borges expresses his thoughts on the value of Books's in a globalized world of electronic communication in this interview. Incidentally, in addition to his feelings towards his 'mother' and his 'blindness,' Borges expresses his view / comments on a variety of other subjects such as art, metaphor and literature. The interviewer, Alifano, poses questions about each of the above-mentioned subjects and Borges addresses them. When Alifano had asked Borges about the theme of the books  Borges responds that he had a very disturbing vision of seeing Alexandria's library burn, its countless volumes destroyed by the fire.
