Answer: I do not know if this is a multiple choice question or not, but I would contend that the blue flower is a reference to Neruda's country, Chile.

Explanation: The color blue is part of the flag of Chile. It symbolises, in part, the Pacific Ocean, and I believe that in these lines of his famous poem, the Chilean poet Pablo Neruda was referring to his beloved country, which he had had to abandon due to his political views. He is telling his lover that he wants her laughter like the flower he was waiting for, "the blue flower, the rose of my echoing country." He cannot have his country, but his lover's laughter will bring him the comfort that he needs in these difficult days away from his homeland.

Answer:

Longing for his homeland.

Explanation:

"Your Laughter" is a poem written by Pablo Neruda, published in 1972, in his late years.

In this poem, Neruda can reflect on the struggles of his life. Neruda lost his mother when he was only two months of age, faced the death of his first child, and also two divorces. He lived in exile also.

In his poem, he is reflecting on all of his struggles. But for him, the thing that kept him going was the laughter of his lover.

In the fifth stanza of the poem, the poet uses the symbolism of 'blue flower' for the laughter of his lover. <u>Tecophilaea Cyanocrocus is the blue flower that the poet is talking about which is the native flower of Chile, Neruda's homeland.  </u>

<em>"I want your laughter like </em>

<em>the flower I was waiting for, </em>

<u><em>the blue flower, the rose </em></u>

<u><em>of my echoing country."</em></u><em> </em>(Quoted text from, "Your Laughter, Pablo Neruda).

So, the symbol of the blue flower that's been expressed by Neruda in the poem is his longing for his homeland.

In your experience, how do we define the roles of men and women? Are these roles helpful,
andriy [413]

Answer:

Roles of women: house work (cleaning), raising children, sewing, babysitting, shopping at grocery stores for items for meal preparation.

Roles of men: A steady income, college educated, getting women pregnant and having a large family with at least two boys.  

Explanation: The possibilities of having the above mentioned done would be that you can have multiple grandchildren in the many decades down the road, a way to make things to go in your house rather than hiring people to come in a decorate your home, you have an outlet from your husbands or wives job by bouncing in between jobs (wife/husband), having the ability to carry on the family name which in certain cultures are socially acceptable, and that when you are college educated you become a more well rounded individual in society.

My only two cites that I can give to the above mentioned would be this:

1.) My life is similar to this as I am a high school student trying to get to college to get a degree in the arts and....

2.) The movie "Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood"
