Answer: it emphasizes the displacement of the speaker's family.

Throughout the poem, the author maintains an extended metaphor about swimming. As she tells us the story of how her family escaped the island, she talks to us about swimming, drowning, the beach, the pool, etc. This is intended to emphasize the displacement of the family. Alvarez feels lost and adrift, much like we would feel if we were lost at sea.

In the following sentences, find the independent/dependent clauses, conjunctions, and tell me what type of sentence it is.
qaws [65]

Answer:

2-dependent clause; 1-independent clause; conjunctions are: however, although; both of them are declarative sentences.

Explanation:

2-A dependent clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb. A dependent clause cannot be a sentence. They do not express complete thoughts, and thus cannot function as sentences. They are usually marked by dependent marker words. It is a word that is added to the beginning of an independent clause that makes it into a dependent clause. Marker Word (because, after, before, since, in order to, although, though, whenever, wherever, whether, while, even though, even if, etc.)

1-An independent clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb. An independent clause is a sentence. Independent clauses are clauses that express a complete thought. They can function as sentences. These are clauses that can function on their own. They do not need to be joined to other clauses, because they contain all the information required to be a complete sentence.

Conjunctions are linking or joining words that connect other words and phrases together.

A declarative sentence is the most basic type of sentence. Its purpose is to relay information, and it is punctuated with a period. For example:

The boy walked home.

I love honey.

He wants to eat cookies, but he doesn't know how to make them.

Cats make good house pets. It's the main idea in the sentence, and it's independent also. The other clause is dependent, so it is not the main clause.
