Answer:
B) Defeated.
Explanation:
In the poem <em>Wichita Mourning</em> by David Matherne, the speaker tells about Sally Richards and her father Reverent Richards who are sad about losing their church to another corporate company. The whole yet short poem deals with the loss of this loss, where the church is bought by someone to be used for an altogether different purpose. It shows the grief that the father-daughter duo are feeling.
In line 9, the poet used the word <em>"broken"</em> to present the inner state of the girl, who is observing all the church possessions being moved out. Though the dictionary defines broken as something that is shattered, dashed to pieces or brought to pieces, the broken in this regard presents the defeated state of the duo in their loss of their home and church.
Anwer: I would say that you have a thesis it's just that you could add more detail to it.
This is what I would say:
It was a cold, dark Saturday evening. I was reading my favorite book (enter here), when I heard sirens wailing outside my house. I got up from the couch, curious to see what was going on.
Extra Notes:
I would also add on to your story about about what you saw outside of your window.
Hope this helps (:
