"Heat", by Hilda Doolittle, is a really short poem with several characteristics. One of them is the amount of imagery that the poet uses to communicate not so much a message but the impressions generated by what is being perceived by the speaker. We do not know who this speaker is, or what the setting is, all we known is that most likely this person is experiencing a really torrid place, most likely the tropics, as this person speaks about fruit that falls from trees. Probably one of the most impressive images this author gives is the one about heat. The poet uses such words as "cut" and "rend open" to let us know one thing; that wherever this person is, the heat is really high. In fact, the image is so strong, that through the hyperbole of heat preventing fruit from falling, you cannot help but think about the thickness of it and you feel as if you were going through a curtain of it. This is why the correct answer is A: It emphasizes how intense and powerful the heat is.

This narrative uses a time shift sequence.
One of the elements in narratives is chronology or the way the events are organized. The most common ways to organize events are:
- Reverse chronological: This means the story begins with the final events and the narrator describes the events that occurred before.
- Chronological: This means the events are organized from the oldest event to the most recent event or in the way the events naturally occurred.
- Time shifts: This means the author includes either events from the past or future while describing the present or there is a sudden time shift.
Based on this, the narrative presented shows time shifts because the main character is preparing for a speech (present) but she remembers an event from the past.
