Answer:

The poem's allusion to the 1982 Brixton riot:

C. illustrates the strong feelings associated with the poem's subject matter.

Explanation:

This excerpt was taken from part XXIII of Derek Walcott's "Midsummer". Born in 1930 in Saint Lucia, Walcott received several awards for his works, including the Nobel Prize. He passed away in 2017.

The simile we are analyzing here compares the summer leaves to the Brixton riot. This may seem to be quite an unlikely comparison, which is probably what the author was aiming for. It is quite powerful to compare a season to a riot and its violence. As a matter of fact, as the poem goes on, the author continues to do so. He compares, for instance, leaves and branches to cattle being whipped. All of that unusual comparison aims to illustrate the author's feelings toward his subject matter, which is clearly quite strong.

Read the excerpt from Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll.
Karolina [17]

Answer:

I believe the answer is 3. They show that Alice wants to please the Red Queen.

Explanation:

The answer can not be 2, because Alice is the one attempting to bring it back I believe, but the Red Queen is the one declining and wanting it away. It can not be 4, because nowhere in the paragraphs read did she mention leaving, it was only about the pudding mainly. The answers you would mainly be stuck with I believe is 1 and 3, Alice is not forcing anything onto herself nor' the Red Queen though I believe, so I would not say she wants to be in control of her life. So it mainly leads down to option/choice 3. Alice wants to please the Red Queen with the pudding. (?)
