Count that Day Lost PIP AND THE CONVICT

Mary Ann Evans chose a male pen name- George Eliot ....

• because she didn't like women

• because she didn't like her name

• to ensure that her work would be taken seriously

The author's moral view expressed in the poem is...

• our day is well spent only if it is devoted to doing good.
• our day is well spent if we did not make anyone happy.
• our day is well spent if we reflect on our actions at the end of the day.
