As she starts tenth grade, Xiomara experiences a crisis of faith in the opening pages of the book, The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo.

In Elizabeth Acevedo's novel The Poet X, Ms. Xiomara struggles with how her parents' devout Catholicism hinders her own development as a woman and a feminist. She also frequently feels judged by members of her community because she wants to speak out against cultural norms that she believes to be harmful and unhealthy.

She finds it difficult to give oneself over to God since she doesn't feel at ease doing so, and she is also looking forward to seeing her new English teacher. When Xiomara is little, Mami adores her and claims that she is her prize for being holy; but, as Xiomara gets older, Mami is aggressive and intrusive.

Which sentence best analyzes the poet's use of allusion in this passage?
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Correct answer is A:  The speaker mentions great battles in hopes to inspire patriotism  in the reader.

Explanation:

"Read the following excerpt from "Grass" by Carl Sandburg:

And pile them high at Gettysburg

And pile them high at Ypres and Verdun.

Shovel them under and let me work.

Two years, ten years, and the passengers ask the conductor:

        What place is this?

        Where are we now?

        I am the grass.

        Let me work.

Which sentence best analyzes the poet's use of allusion in this passage?

A. The speaker mentions great battles in hopes to inspire patriotism

in the reader.

B. The speaker refers to Ypres and Verdun to imply that the grass

cannot conceal all human activities,

O

C. The speaker refers to Gettysburg to suggest that grass can hide

even great battle losses.

D. The speaker of the poem addresses the grass, implying that he

can communicate with nature"

In this poem, the speaker wants to remind people that even after the grass covers the battlefields and clears the view of the dead bodies,<em> the memory always sticks with people</em>. Although some of the readers haven't experienced the battlefields directly, chances are great that someone from their family or friends has and that it left great scars on their body, soul and mind.  Except for making us compassionate, this poem is also a warning that all the<u> suffering and horrors of war mustn't be forgotten</u>.

How are enjambment and line length used in Nin Andrews' prose poem Adolescence?
Strike441 [17]

<u>Answer</u>:

There are no line breaks, since this is a prose poem

<u>Explanation:</u>

Literally Prose poem does not have line breaks. But while reading this kind of prose poem, the reader themselves will take a break not because of the punctuation but because of the breaks in the theme. In the poem Adolescence, the author draws a parallel between birds and human adolescence.

Here the nature of a caged bird is compared to the nature of the society as a child is trapped into an invisible cage called society. Hence while reading this poem, the reader takes a break while reflecting the fact but not of the punctuation. That is how Nin Andrews used enjambment and line length in his prose poem.
