PLEASE HELP ENGLISH QUESTIONS 2 and 3

Answer:

Question 2 - One of the main points of reptition in this poem is the idea that the speaker doesn't want to bring a child into this world. This is stated in lines 2 and 8 as, "I cannot let you in," and in line 10 as, "I cannot bear the pain." The speaker understands how hard it is to survive in today's society as a black woman. She knows that if she birthed a child, they would face a life of discrimination and racism as well. The speaker is explaining that she won't let her desire for a child to convince her to have one because of the pain they will face as a person of color. She couldn't bear to see her child face the hardships she does, which further contributes to the theme of not wanting to have a child.

Question 3 - The repition of the word "child" makes the strongest impact on the overall message of the poem. Children are seen as an emblem for pure happiness and by describing the suffering the child will later face, the reader sympathizes with the speakers situation. In line 1 it states, "Don't knock at the door, little child," and in line 15 it states, "Be still, be still, my precious child." These sentences are as if the speaker is talking to her child. She says "little child" and "my precious child" even though she knows that she couldn't bear to bring a child into this cruel world. She wouldn't want to ruin the innocence children with the racist world she lives in. This leaves the reader feeling sympathatic for this woman and the struggles she faces as a black woman.

hope this helps and I hope you are doing ok :)

Which word creates the transition between the stated problem and its emerging solution?
vovangra [49]

Answer:

The answer is: but.

Explanation:

“But” is the appropriate conjunction word that can be used to connect two sentences or groups of words, whereby the first sentence contains the problem, and the second sentence contains the solution. For example, in the statement, “The flood used to devastate the land, but the dam has stopped the flood”, the word "but" was used to join the first sentence (which stated the problem—the devastation of the land by the flood) and the second sentence (which stated the solution—the dam).
