Answer:

Poet is using personification

Explanation:

<em>Frozen branches—heavy with ice arms— Couldn't perform their dance</em>

Trees and brances can't dance, but the poet is giving them human possibilities.

Personification is a way of giving human feelings to objects, plants, animals, and abstract concepts. By reviving things, phenomena, in general, something inanimate, they create images that have a strong effect on the reader.

Hello. The lines you are referring to contain the following information:

<em>"Frozen branches heavy </em>

<em>with ice arms Couldn't </em>

<em>perform their dance "</em>

Answer:

Personification

Explanation:

Personification is the figure of speech that allows inanimate or non-human objects to have human characteristics. In the lines indicated in the question above, we can see that the author decided to present the sadness that the frozen branches have, since the ice forbids them to dance.

Dancing is a human characteristic, however, the branches are not human. By placing this characteristic on the branches, the author adds a tone of hopelessness, because the desire of the branches cannot be fulfilled.

Why does Mammy react the way she does to the rockets
Sindrei [870]

Chapter 22

In January 1989 the last of the Soviets leave the city and everyone watches them go. Laila is standing with her family when Tariq shows up in a huge Russian fur hat. Laila tells him he looks ridiculous. Laila is glad he can feel a little happiness, because ever since his uncle died the fall before and his father had a heart attack, he has been morose. Hasina, Tariq, and Laila eat together in the city that day. When Laila and Tariq go home with Babi and Mammy, a man on the bus says that the new leader, Mohammad Najibullah (1947–96), is a puppet president, not a real Muslim leader. Mammy prays on the bus. That night, Laila and Tariq go to see a movie. It is a Soviet film badly dubbed in Farsi, and they laugh at the stiff sentences that have nothing to do with what is really happening. The woman in the film, named Alyona, is in a love scene, kissing a man, and Tariq says he never wants to get married. Laila thinks about kissing Tariq and what it would be like. Tariq makes a snot joke to relieve the tension, but it is clear that he and Laila are a little uncomfortable after having watched a love scene together.

Chapter 23

In April 1992 Tariq's father, having had three strokes, is weak and unhealthy. Hasina has been married off to the man she feared her parents would force on her, and they have headed for Germany. The Soviet Union is falling apart, and the country of Russia emerges. Najibullah, who had been the puppet president in Afghanistan, claims to be an observant Muslim, but it is too little, too late. He ends up surrendering, and the Mujahideen finally come to Kabul. Mammy knows all of their names and all of the factions they run, but her hero is always Massoud. Mammy finally gets out of bed, opens her curtains, and goes back to her kitchen, rearranging it back to the way she likes it. She decides she will have a party and invites everyone she knows.
