A little more lather here under the chin, on the Adam’s apple, right near the great vein. How hot it is! Torres must be sweating

just as I am. But he is not afraid. He is a tranquil man, who is not even giving thought to what he will do to his prisoners this evening. I, on the other hand, polishing his skin with this razor but avoiding the drawing of blood, careful with every stroke—I cannot keep my thoughts in order.

In the poem "This is just to Say", what is the speaker's purpose for writing?
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer: Reflection.

Explanation:

Our speaker feels guilty about eating the plums, and straight up asks for forgiveness. Or rather, he commands it, using the imperative mood. He is reflecting on his earlier actions of eating the plums though they belonged to someone else and this is his way of apologizing instead of asking permission first.

50 POINTS AND BRAINLYEST
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

When I was younger, I was very afraid of falling off and hurting myself on a bike. I had seen my friends and family scar and bleed over bike accidents, and it scared me. I couldn't balance very well and I had to use training wheels for years. Multiple people (my aunt, grandma, mom) tried to teach me, but they can be pretty neurotic so it wasn't very helpful. Then one day, after joking to my dad about horrible bike skills, my dad decided to try and teach me.

At first, I said no, because I felt like it was embarrassing to not know how to ride a bike at my age. He eventually convinced me, though. The beginning was very difficult. I kept wobbling and he had to hold me while I rode (without training wheels! Scary.) I fell off twice and even gave myself a tiny scratch. My dad said to calm down, as I was getting upset. He pulled me aside to sit for a while, and explained a bit more about how he learned to ride a bike, and how he struggled too. So, I got back on. It took me a few more tries, but I eventually got it. I'm really good at it, too.

This experience has taught me a lot for being so simple. It gave me the impression that staying calm, thinking, and trying your hardest really does count. Having those who support and encourage you are important too. That's how I succeeded, and will continue to succeed.
