Read the passage. To Waken an Old Lady by William Carlos Williams. Old age is a flight of small cheeping birds skimming bare tre
es above a snow glaze. Gaining and failing they are buffeted by a dark wind— But what? On harsh weedstalks the flock has rested, the snow is covered with broken seedhusks and the wind tempered by a shrill piping of plenty. How would you summarize this poem? A flock of young birds becomes frustrated in the snowy and windy weather. Despite the snowy and windy weather, a flock of young birds still manages to eat and survive. A flock of young birds tries to find something to eat but fails. The snowy and windy weather keeps a flock of young birds from flying.
