The book "<em>If you come softly" </em>was written by Jacqueline Woodson.
The main characters in the story are Jeremiah or Miah and a girl named Elisha or Ellie. They are two teenagers that met in high school and fell in love.
The main themes in the novel are love,religion,social anda racial differences.In the same line as the afore -mentioned topic, Jeremiah remembered an episode of his childhood that involved a cartoon monkey playing basketball. When he saw this , first of all,it caught his attention and provokes shame on him. He felt this way because somehow he felt represented in that monkey as he loved playing this sport. However, to him, the moment he played basketball was the moment his black colour was most notorious.
His impression was that the outside(the society in general,tv commercials)was trying to impose the idea that black people were a problem.
What is this on? Also, it’s hard to answer your question without an image of the poems. But, I have tried:
Death, be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so; ←→ The speaker personifies and diminishes the power of death.
She is all states, and all princes I, Nothing else is. Princes do but play us; compared to this, All honor's mimic, all wealth alchemy. ←→ The beloved is like the entire world to the lover.
If they be two, they are two so As stiffe twin compasses are two, Thy soule the fixt foot, makes no show To move, but doth, if th' other doe.<---> The lover and his beloved are described as separate but connected, like a drawing tool.
And sacrilege, three sins in killing three. Cruel and sudden, hast thou since Purpled thy nail in blood of innocence Wherein could this flea guilty be, ←→ The speaker chides his beloved for killing the flea
Because you will be trampled on and die!
I would say the correct answer is C. breezes that never come inside the house.
To me, this option makes the excerpt sound somewhat melancholic and sad, as if the narrator would like the breeze to come inside the house and bring some life into their home. The other options don't really have much to do with the mood of the setting.
