Question

Sort the elements used by Rosa Parks in her memoir and those used by Rita Dove in her poem.

Answer 1

Answer:

Rosa Parks's Memoir- first person, paragraphs , several scenes.

Rita Dove's Poem- lines and stanzas, third person, a single scene.

Explanation:

The memoir of Rosa Parks is written in the first person, meaning it is written in her own words and from her own perspective. It involves numerous scenes where she recounts the events from her perspective. And since it is a memoir, meaning it covers a time span of more than a single event, the passages are written in paragraphs.

Rita Dove's poem, on the other hand, is written in lines and stanzas. And they are written in the third person's point of view. Added to that, the poems are written about a single scene, where the poet talks about a single scene.
