"While my hair was still cut straight across my

forehead

I played about the front gate, pulling flowers.

You came by on bamboo stilts, playing horse,

You walked about my seat, playing with blue

plums.

And we went on living in the village of Chokan:

Two small people, without dislike or suspicion."

The first stanza of "The River Merchant's Wife" emphasizes youth, nature, and playing between children. The verb "play" is repeated three times, and she mentions "flowers" and "blue plums." There is harmony between the presence of "I" and "you."

"While my hair was still cut straight across my

forehead

The use of the word "while" and the image of her haircut as a child shows us the recollection of when they first met, before they were to marry.

And we went on living in the village of Chokan:

Two small people, without dislike or suspicion."

what a relief! She wouldn't have liked to admit that her Mother had been right. Monkeys at a birthday?

Using direct characterization, describe a character who experiences a moral dilemma.

ivanzaharov [21]

An example of a moral dilemma using direct characterization would be :

Jake, brave, pitiful, and older than his years, gazed down at his starving family. His mother had passed on a few months ago, and her dying wish was that the family stay together. Jake knew the foster system; it was unlikely that they could all stay together, especially with his track record with the law. Yet, he knew that they would not survive long without more food and money. He felt torn between fulfilling his promise to his mother and that other promise he made, the promise to himself. He had vowed to change his life when his mother was diagnosed with cancer. Stealing would fulfill her promise (as long as he didn't get caught) but break the promise to himself that made him a new man. This new man cared for his siblings; what would happen to his family if he became a thief?
