1. The speaker is most likely a common man living in a town in Victoria. The fact I understand from the text is that, the speaker is a patriotic person. He is so sad about the destruction caused after, probably a war.
2. In my Opinion, this poem is trying to give a vivid picture of a place after a war, probably.
3. The speaker's tone towards the city is a pity as well as a humorous tone. His reference "Here are broken fingerbones of clay pipes" is a pitiful statement and his words "and mud is thick as meat".
4. I think the poem literally comes between the year 1990 - 1999. This is proved when he refers "air sweet as rust" as there were wars during that time in major parts of Asia.
5. The words mud is thick as meat, seed stained black, inner city's chalk, broken fingerbones of clay piles etc are some of the main humorous as well as unimaginable quotes made by the speaker in order to say about his feelings of the ruined city.
Hope it helps you...

Yes coz they’re exaggerating the size of the spoon
In Beowulf, there is a contrast between Herot and Grendel's home.
Herot is equated with God and heaven. It is associated with companionship and good deeds. Herot, then, represents goodness and honor.
Grendel, however, is connected to the devil and his home is associated with hell. He lives isolated and alone. He is said to be a descendent of Cain, meaning that his being is full of sin and evil.
These descriptions set up a conflict of good versus evil.
Well I know that they supported women’s rights and they were ones who voiced for treatment of African Americans to become better and were against slavery!
Fredrick Douglass wrote a speech about abolition of slaves and he worked alongside William Lloyd garrison who created the Liberator which was an abolitionist newspaper.
They were embraced by the black community because they worked hand in hand to fight for the black cause. The black community embraced people whether white or black that helped in their cause.
(This is based off memory)
The major assumption in the first sentence in the Declaration of Independence was the "all men were created equal".
This obviously wasn't the case because slavery was still in full swing; therefore, what was meant by it is that all WHITE men were created equal.
