Answer:
Reflective
Explanation:
The author of poem is "reflecting" on the "courage" her mother had, the "golden brooch" her mother wore, etc. The author is thinking back to memories she had of her mother.
So I'm not really sure because I have never read but you can say her emotions when from calm, surprised, interested and then very curious??? Sorry if this did not help
A phrase consisting of multiple words cannot have a single part of speech - part of speech refers to singular words in isolation. If you mean what the function of <em>on the couch </em>is, then the answer is - adverb phrase. If, however, you really do need a part of speech, then you have to do it word by word: <em>on </em>is a preposition, <em>the </em>is a determiner, and <em>couch </em>is a noun.
