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.

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Even in today's world men and women both have different levels of privilege. In the 1900s women were seen more and housewives and mother's than as people. Now let's go back farther in time when women were not allowed to read, go to school or even think for themselves, men were always able to dream bigger and go after those dreams because they could. While women had to think practical because they know they had way less of a chase of there dreams actually coming true.

Why does Odysseus blind the cyclops rather than kill him when the giant is asleep
dolphi86 [110]
Well, Odysseus was going to kill him, until he realized that the giant, named Polyphemus I believe, was the only thing in the cave strong enough to move the boulder blocking them from getting out. 

Hope this helps!
