I think the correct answer would be false. The line <span>"Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting" is not both a metaphor and a paradox. The said line is only a metaphor which compares birth to sleep and forgetting. It is not a paradox because there is no contradiction.</span>

How does Dove's use of imagery in this passage
nordsb [41]

Answer:

It provides a hopeful image that suggests that  Kahlo was not restrained by her condition.

Explanation:

From the attached image, we can understand that Kahlo was injured and broke her spine in several places and despite several surgeries, she would live with pain for the rest of her life and would require a corset to hold her spine in place.

The excerpt from the poem says,

<em>"who painted herself a present</em>

<em>wildflowers entwining the plastic corset</em>

<em>her spine resides in, that flaming pillar"</em>

We can see that the imagery depicts a hopeful image that Kahlo is not restrained or held back by her condition because she "painted herself a present" and the line about wildflowers shows that while the situation is an unplanned one, she still has hope as she describes her spine as a "flaming pillar".

A wildflower is a flower that grows in the wild that was not planted by anyone and it symbolizes the forced condition of wearing the corset

A sonnet is a literary expression in which 14 lines are normally written that generally have a rhyme structure in which details about a particular subject are described, this can be a feeling, scene, idea, thought. A sonnet can be considered within the literary field as an almost musical structure, the word "sonnet" itself comes from the Italian <em>sonneto </em>which means small song.

PART A: Which statement best describes the theme of this poem?
klasskru [66]

Answer:

Part A: The statement which best describes the theme of the poem is:

C. Tragedy occurs both on the grand, collective scale and on the smaller, individual scale.

Part B: The quote which best supports the answer to Part A is:

B. "It solved by itself a math problem / that multiplied the one death by millions / to equal homeland." (Lines 37 - 39)

Explanation:

I found this question online; it refers to the poem "Bag of Bones" by Dunya Mikhail.

<u>The poem's theme concerns the death of many as well as the death of one. </u>One death will bring an impact with it - in the poem, it is the mother who lost her son. When a mass grave was dug up, she was able to find his remains, which brought back the memories of when he was alive as well as the feeling of loss and injustice - his death was the result of a dictatorship.

However, many more mothers are still there, at the grave, looking for their children. That one mother's tragedy is the same tragedy of many others. <u>What the dictator has done is ruin several individual lives which, when put together, results in a collective tragedy for millions.</u>
