Answer:

The main theme of the poem is the conflicts that a teenager goes through.

Explanation:

This poem is related by a teenager who finds herself with fears and problems. She is afraid of loneliness, death and criticizes sexism.

All this she must face alone, since her mother is only locked in her room.

Let's look at the aforementioned problems:

  • Fear of loneliness: This is expressed every time she says: <em>"and momma's in the bedroom with the door closed ",</em> she is afraid to face this whole stage alone and her mother does not accompany her. Also in another line she expresses this fear with the following words: <em>"Nobody even stops to think about my side of it " </em>
  • Fear of death: He refers to this repeatedly: <em>"what if I die  before morning "," suppose I die before graduation "," will I live long enough to grow up ". </em>
  • She criticizes sexism: <em>"I should have been on Math Team my marks were better than his". </em>Someone has rejected her just because she is a woman.

Comprehension Passage II<br> m The Wednesday Wars<br> Gary D. Schmidt
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Wednesday Wars by Gary D. Schmidt is a coming of age story about a young man, Holling Hoodhood, who learns over the course of his seventh grade year that there is more to life than what he sees in his own world. With the help of a strict but caring teacher, Mrs. Baker, his flower child sister, Heather, a host of friends and heroes, and even Shakespeare, Hoodhood learns lessons about discrimination, becoming an adult, war, and determining one's own destiny.

Holling Hoodhood is a young man beginning seventh grade in a small suburb on Long Island in New York. His life is filled with worries about the family architectural business, friends, and immediate threats from older classmates. He doesn't realize the other dangers in the world in 1967, including the Vietnam war, discrimination, and the pain and suffering of those around him.
