Answer:
At the beginning
Explanation:
Right at the beginning of the text, where a woman is obsessed with her appearance, looking every day in the mirror, and with shaking hands, and eyes watering, she feels bad to see her, accepting her wrinkled hands and your face too. She cries, she could be young and beautiful, but feel bad all the time.
The figurative language here ( ‘A tree my baby brothers could lean on’ and ‘the raft that helps carry them over this life’s rough rivers’) Tells me that the writer of this poem is needed to be a ‘breadwinner’ for the family. This can be enforced by the fact that the poem states the family only consists of ‘Mom and us kids’, The author is now tasked with duties such as caring for his baby brothers once his mother is no longer able to. Families without 2 parental figures is normally very straining to the kids and the single parent, only the strongest can withstand the onslaught of caring for kids. Thus letting me know that the meaning of this poem is that family needs to be there for each other because no one else would.
