Read the following nonfiction narrative and answer the questions below. Drip, Drip 1986 It happened in math class. 7th grade mat

h was definitely NOT my favorite class. I had Mrs. Fifer, and she was the quintessential math teacher – hair in a bun, glasses on a chain that she wore low on her nose. I was terrified of her. I was wearing white pants that day. I loved those white pants; they had loops on the side like carpenter jeans, extra pockets and pleats. Yes, I knew you weren’t supposed to wear white pants after Labor Day, but I was a rebel. We were taking a test, and that meant we weren’t allowed to leave our desks. This was a hard and fast rule, and there was no way I was going to break it; however, as I was taking my test, I noticed my nose was running a lot. I was constantly sniffing. Then, a drop of blood fell on my test. “Oh no,” I thought to myself. “I’m having one of my nosebleeds.” My nosebleeds were legendary in my house. They were not your average nosebleed; mine were like someone turned the faucet on high and walked away. I put my left hand over my nose with the hopes that I could contain it until after math. Christa, who sat in the desk across from me, looked at me with a, “What is happening to you?” expression on her face. I just looked down and tried to continue my test, but my nose was having none of that. Apparently, covering my nose with my hand was like putting a stopper on a garden hose; there’s only so much pressure it can take before the water busts through. I think you get the idea. My white pants and test looked like a crime scene. Needless to say, Mrs. Fifer sent me to the office and wondered why I had waited so long. I looked at her, with her severe bun and low-hanging glasses, mumbled something and took off to the office. 7th grade math continued to be my least favorite class.

Compare the depictions of the nature of female power in the following poems: Margaret Atwood, “Siren Song,” and “Aunt Jennifer’s
erma4kov [3.2K]

<u>Answer:</u>

The depictions of nature of female power in the poems Siren Song and Aunt Jennifer's Tigers is in complete contrast with each other.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the poem "Siren Song" female is shown as the one who holds the power over various men whereas in Aunt Jennifer's Tigers, the female is shown to be suppressed by her own husband.

In the poem Aunt Jennifer's Tigers, Aunt Jennifer is shown to express her feelings of wanting freedom and independence through her sewn tigers, which depict how she had been suppressed by her husband her entire life and has always wanted to escape like the tigers go "prancing, proud and unfraid"

whereas the poem The Siren Song shows men to be lured by a woman's call towards herself make the foolish and lustful men attracted leading to their own destruction on the fateful rocks thus showing the power women have on men which is in contradiction to the other poem.
