Answer:
B. The speaker is admiring nature.
Explanation:
Nikki Grimes's poem "First Night" is a short poem of 18 lines separated in three stanzas. In the poem, the speaker talks of the beauty of the night sky and addressed another person named<em> "Zuri"</em>.
The speaker was camping out at her aunt's backyard, narrating the poem as a letter to <em>"Zuri"</em>. Line 5 and 6 says<em> "Sleeping was hard with all the sparkling beauty hanging overhead"</em>. Further lines reveal<em> "Night-lights", "cluster of fireflies", </em>and<em> "the sky"</em>, all a wondrous sight for the speaker. The beautiful nature, the night sky, and its beauty made sleeping difficult for the speaker.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
