D. It's very exciting running the bases because you could be thrown out when trying for an extra base. It is a race between you and the fielder. Will you beat that ball to the fielder's glove? The man in the example sounds like someone who is disabled and doesn't know what the experience feels like. To play baseball is at least ten times more exciting than watching it!

In at least two hundred words, write a summary of the poem “Sestina.” Include at least two images that support your summary.
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

Summary:

Explanation:

A grandmother and her granddaughter are inside making a snack and some tea. To kill some time while the water boils, they read the almanac and make jokes out of what they find. Even though the grandmother is laughing, it seems she is upset about something, because she's trying to hide her tears.

At this point, both the grandmother and the grandchild seem to disappear into their own private thoughts. The grandmother thinks how her sadness might be connected to the time of year, and the child is distracted by the condensation forming on the teakettle. While the grandmother tidies up—hanging the almanac back on its string, putting more wood on the stove—the child draws a picture of a house and a man "with buttons like tears" to show to her grandma.

The poem ends in a pretty imaginative way, with the almanac dropping imaginary moons from its pages into the flower bed of the kid's drawing, then saying "time to plant tears"; the grandmother singing to the stove; and the child drawing another scribble of a house with her crayons.
