A car mechanic who is tuning the engine in the car for the first time.
1. The speaker wants the rest of the world to acknowledge and reflect the magnitude of the speaker's loss. The poem thus suggests that, whether you've lost a loved one or had your heartbroken, part of what makes grief so terrible, so hard to endure, is the isolation it creates.
I believe the answers are,
1. Giant
2. Knife
3. Iron
4. Joy
5. Smile
6. child
7. Sunshine
8. Size
Hope I was able to help :)
