The correct answer is D. Personification and enjambement

Explanation:

In poetry, there are different techniques poets usually use for stylistic purposes this includes the rhyme, the onomatopoeia, the alliteration, the simile, the personification, among others. In the case of personification, this technique occurs when objects, plants, animals or entities that are not humans are given human features or are represented as people. In the verses from the poem "Hanging Fire" by Audre Lorde this can be seen in "and my skin has betrayed me" because the skin is an inanimate object that has been given the action of betrayal which is somehow exclusive from people.

On the other hand, enjambment which is another poetry technique occurs when the verses do not end at the end of a complete idea, which means in poems with enjambement one idea is developed through multiple verses. This device can also be found in the poem by Audre Lorde as the idea "I am fourteen/and my skin has betrayed me" is divided into verses and the idea "the boy I cannot live without/still sucks his thumb/in secret" is divided into three verses. Therefore, in this poem, the techniques illustrated are personification and enjambement.

why does jonas think about his experience on the playing field after watching his father release the baby?
docker41 [41]
Jonas thinks about his experience on the playing field after watching his father release the baby because it was another instance of the community members not truly grasping the concept of death. His friends couldn’t understand that war was a serious matter because it involved suffering and death because they couldn’t understand why those were so bad, and his father couldn’t understand that the death of the baby just because it was slightly smaller than its twin was significant because he couldn’t understand the grave (pun unintended) significance of death. Jonas, however, can, as a result of his experiences of being a Receiver.
