1. You can see through the comparison to a mountain, that the grandpa is tall and always there 'looming' (hovering) over the speaker. You can see that the speaker does not speak much around his grandpa, as he is "silent as a stone". 

2. These details show that the speaker is impressed by his grandpa and looks up to him the way a stone would look up to a mountain-it shows that he hopes one day he will grow to be like his grandpa. 

3. The theme of this poem is shown through the way the speaker looks at his grandpa and the shed. The shed needs more than paint because it is so old, which relates to his grandpa and the theme of growing older.

What point of view is the poem "The Song of the Storm -- Spirits" written in?
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

First person point of view.

Explanation:

Point of view is the perspective from which the story or poem is narrated. It is through this "voice" that the readers are able to learn or "see" or "hear" about the story or poem.

The poem "The Song of the Storm-Spirits" by Cale Young Rice is narrated in the first person point of view. This is evident from the line <em>"Not dance as we"</em>, where the speaker uses the first narrative voice/ point of view "we".

Thus, the point of view of this poem is first person point of view.

Explanation:

Foreshadowing is demonstrated as the literary device in which the author provides an advance clue or hint about the forthcoming event in the story. It primarily functions to

In the given sentence, the author foreshadows 'the narrator's falling and breaking off his rib and collarbone.' The narrator falls and injures himself. This hint <u>develops suspense among the readers and enhances their curiosity as they are uncertain whether their anticipations about the sudden turn of events will come true or not</u>. Thus, it helps in keeping the interest of the readers intact as the readers expected a tragic end but the writer twists the conclusion by describing how the author handled himself and his injury. Therefore, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.
