Answer:
The poem's allusion to the 1982 Brixton riot:
C. illustrates the strong feelings associated with the poem's subject matter.
Explanation:
This excerpt was taken from part XXIII of Derek Walcott's "Midsummer". Born in 1930 in Saint Lucia, Walcott received several awards for his works, including the Nobel Prize. He passed away in 2017.
The simile we are analyzing here compares the summer leaves to the Brixton riot. This may seem to be quite an unlikely comparison, which is probably what the author was aiming for. It is quite powerful to compare a season to a riot and its violence. As a matter of fact, as the poem goes on, the author continues to do so. He compares, for instance, leaves and branches to cattle being whipped. All of that unusual comparison aims to illustrate the author's feelings toward his subject matter, which is clearly quite strong.
The feelings of the crew vary depending on how they view the albatross.
When they view the albatross as a sign of good fortune, they are angry with the Mariner for shooting it. When they view the albatross as the one who brought the bad weather, they are glad the Mariner shot it. After the weather turns on them again, they again blame the Mariner for shooting the albatross, believing they are being punished for its death.
When they view the albatross as good, they are angry with the Mariner for killing it. When they view the albatross as evil, they are happy he killed it. Ultimately, they come to believe they are being punished for its death and are unhappy and angry with the Mariner.
