In this poem by Gary Soto, the author reflects on the feelings that he has for the woman he loves.
The author tells us that he is poor and unimpressive, while the woman is much better than him. However, throughout the poem, he highlights the fact that he wants to be loved and seen by the woman, even if he is not very impressive. The last image he offers in the text is that of a daffodil and wheat. He compares himself to wheat, which is resistant, even if not impressive. On the other hand, while the daffodil is more beautiful, it is weak and often goes unnoticed, ending up destroyed in the mud when the rain comes. The author highlights the fact that his qualities might be less obvious, but they exist, and this should motivate the woman in question to give him a chance.
The correct answer is A: Unimportant.
An example of an extra in a movie is when the main characters are walking down the street in Manhattan and there are a bunch of people walking in the background. The people that are walking in the background are the extras because they are unimportant for the scene. Extras are there so when you watch a show, movie, broadway, e.t.c, it won't look like the performance is empty. Just think of how the main characters would be walking down the street with an empty road around them. How much more boring than having extras in the background would that be?
I hope this helped! Stay cool! :-)
