gold fish)
English

Vilka [71]3 years ago

Answer:

The poet used puns or words with multiple interpretations <em>in order to make the poem sound humorous.</em> It also allows each reader to<em> think differently</em> from one another or <u>to have the freedom to have his own interpretation of the poem.</u>

Explanation:

"(love song, with two gold fish)" is a poem written by <em>Grace Chua</em>. It centers on the<em> love life of two gold fish in a bowl. </em>Their love for each other was strong at the beginning, but soon it started fading away. This is because the male fish made impossible promises to the female fish that he will take her to the ocean. Nevertheless, <u>he couldn't fulfill such promise and this made the female fish lose her love for him.</u>

"Puns" are not only used to express humor but also to play with the sound of words. This allows poets to add interesting effects to the poem.

While the restaurant has always been popular due to the high <u>caliber</u> of its  service, the replacement of its old head chef was soon followed by a noticeable  improvement in its food as well.

<h3>What is the meaning of caliber?</h3>
  • Caliber refers to the rank or rating of something. When speaking in terms of the quality of service rendered by the restaurant, we can refer to its ranking as high.

Thus a proper adjective to insert in the blank will be high caliber.

katrin [286]
The tone of this excerpt is fear, disappointment, and uncertainty. T<span>aherah Saffazadeh, the poet, is Iranian and the fear and disappointment that accompany having a girl for a baby stems from the society's poor treatment of women and celebration of men. Detailed description of action and emotion help convey these themes, the word choice associated with the announcement that she was a girl. The mother's "look of shame", the "choked voice" telling them it's a girl, the midwife trembling, these details are what create the mood and reinforce how somber everything around the birth became. The tone of uncertainty comes from the feeling that no one in the room quite knows what to do next or how to react properly.</span>
