How do lines 21-25 contribute to development of the poem's theme? Cite evidence from the poem to support your answer

English
1 answer:
vlada-n [284]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Lines 21-25 makes all the difference when you look at the theme of the poem which speaks to Children Growing up and eventually leaving home.

Explanation:

The learning how to ride a bicycle is a metaphor for life.

Every other line seems to be talking about her eight-year-old daughter learning how to ride a bicycle. See lines 1-6.

Her surprise is ignited when her daughter starts "pumping away" at the pedals screaming with life. She is surprised to know that the mother-daughter experience as she knows it is over already. See lines 7-10.

But when you read those lines "like a handkerchief waving goodbye" all of a sudden the entire picture, the intended message hits you and you are almost moved to tears when you see from a mothers perspective how ti feels to quickly a daughter grow up and leave home.

Cheers!

What does this " : " mean between numbers ?
bazaltina [42]
A colon, when placed between two numbers indicates a ratio. 

For example, 1:1 is saying that something is at a 1-to-1 ratio.

This would be better in the Math section though, but I'm happy to answer.

If the temperature warning light/gauge goes on, what should you do?
borishaifa [10]
A. Stop as soon as you can at a safe place and shut the engine off.

You do not need to stop immediately on the side of the road. However, at the closest parking lot or place where you can easily receive roadside assistance would be good. It's important that you do not open the radiator cap to check the water level until the engine cools down. You could be burnt by escaping steam when you take the cap off. Never ignore warning lights. Yes, the light will go off when the engine cools off, but that's only going to happen when the car is off. As soon as you turn the car on and start to drive the warning will return. Warning lights are also color coded. Red warning signals mean a serious problem. Stop and get it fixed immediately. Orange mean that it needs to be addressed quickly but you do not need to stop on the side of the road. Yellow lights are usually about regular service or maintenance that needs to happen. These should not be ignored, but they aren't indicators of a serious malfunction.
