Answer:

Elizabeth cares more about Roy than she does about John.

Explanation:

"The Rockpile" is a short story by American creator James Baldwin. At first distributed in 1965 as a major aspect of his compilation, Going to Meet the Man, it returns to a large number of the characters of Baldwin's prior Depression-time novel, Go Tell it on the Mountain. The story happens in Harlem, following John who attempts to prevent his sibling Roy from stirring up some dust with a few young men on a stone heap in their neighborhood. Whenever Roy, obviously, gets injured, his dad accuses John, who is just his stepson. The young men's mom, Elizabeth, goes to bat for John, yet without much of any result. The story was acclaimed for its topics of hostility and familial connection in African-American families in Jim Crow-time America.

How does the poet's use of puns, or words with multiple interpretations, contribute to the

Sonja [21]

Answer: The poet's use of puns creates humor in the poem. Moreover, it gives each reader an opportunity to interpret the poem in his/her own way.

Explanation:

<em>"Love Song, With Two Gold Fish"</em> is a poem written by Grace Chua. It describes the relationship between the two goldfishes in a bowl. There was a strong connection between them, until the female fish wished to go to the ocean. The male fish, however, could not make her dream come true, as the two of them were "trapped" in the bowl, which made the female fish dissatisfied.

In the poem, the author uses puns (jokes that include words with different possible meanings) multiple times. For instance, he describes that the female fish makes<em> "fish eyes and kissy lips" </em>at the male fish. The two phrases, "fishy eyes" and "kissy lips" are puns, because they are a part of the fishes' appearance - they do have "fishy eyes" and a special shape of lips. However, the phrases can be also interpreted as a description of the relationship between the two fishes - the sign that the female fish gives to the male fish. This creates humor in the poem, and enables the reader to interpret it in his own way.
