Read the excerpt from "The Golden Cat." Great is the Golden Cat who treads The Blue Roof Garden o'er our heads, The never tired

smiling One That Human People call the Sun. He stretches forth his paw at dawn And though the blinds are closely drawn His claws peep through like Rays of Light, To catch the fluttering Bird of Night. What is the meaning of the figurative language in lines 5 and 6? The drawn blinds hide the night from the cat. The cat paws at the blinds to let in the light. The sun pushes aside the night as if it were blinds. The sun rises at the edge of the dark sky.

Answer:

The cat paws at the blinds to let in the light.

Explanation:

In the lines 5 and 6 of the poem "The Golden Cat" by Oliver Herford, the meaning of the figurative language is that the cat paws at the blinds to let in the light of the sun.

Explain how the authors perspective on her mormon faith changes.
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Her perspective changed when she realized that too many lives have been lost while she quietly observes, in accordance to her Mormon belief of not questioning things and keeping quiet about it.

Explanation:

In her account of her family's Mormon beliefs and fights against the hereditary cancer that seemed to take a toll on them, Terry Tempest Williams wrote about how she had quietly observed the pain and struggle according to her Mormon belief. She wrote <em>The Clan of One-Breasted Women</em>  to reveal how this blind faith has led to the quiet observance of the deaths and sufferings of the women in her life.

She admits that though her family/ community's belief made everything seem fine. She remembers being taught that <em>"authority is respected, obedience is revered, and independent  thinking is not."</em> She was also warned as a small girl not to <em>"make waves"</em> or <em>"rock the boat"</em>, which she had been doing until the cancer cases became more than she can simply let go. She came to realize how much damage has been done while she plays the silent spectator. She decides that her beliefs may not be the main cause of the deaths of the many beautiful people in her life. But being silent even after all the loss in her life is not something that she can endure anymore. This realization brought a change in her perspective on her Mormon faith.
