Answer:

A). 'Birches' is categorized as one of the most acknowledged poems of Robert Frost. The elements employed by him to reflect the impact of ice-storms on Birches would include the descriptions like

'after a rain, They click upon themselves

As the breeze rises, and turn many-colored

As the stir cracks and crazes their enamel.

Soon the sun’s warmth makes them shed crystal shells

Shattering and avalanching on the snow crust'

These descriptions reveal the impact of ice-storms like 'shattering and avalanching' have been detailed through the use of imagery that offers a sensory experience to the audience so, they would be able to connect to it and understand the drastic impact of ice-storms and therefore, 'they would not be able to bounce back'.

B). The major idea behind portraying these radical impacts of ice-storm on the beautiful and serene 'Birches' tree is to reflect the transcendent and accomplished potential of nature to encounter the hardships with strength and vigor. The author suggests that the human conflict between imagination and reality. <u>The carefree childhood represents 'imagination' while the 'ice-storms' reflect the harsh reality of life. The 'unbending' and 'enduring' nature of Birch trees reflect that life cannot be reversed(unbending) and one can only 'hope' and 'endure' the reality of life. </u>

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Has just begun to develop survival skills

Explanation:

An excerpt from the story supports that: "As he went along he smelled things, as well, his distended, quivering nostrils carrying to his brain an endless series of messages from the outside world. Also, his hearing was acute, and had been so trained that it operated automatically. Without conscious effort, he heard all the slight sounds in the apparent quiet—heard, and differentiated, and classified these sounds—whether they were of the wind rustling the leaves, of the humming of bees and gnats, of the distant rumble of the sea that drifted to him only in lulls, or of the gopher, just under his foot, shoving a pouchful of earth into the entrance of his hole."

From the above excerpt, we can deduce that Edwin was actually developing his survival skills. In developing his survival skills, his smelling, feeling and hearing organs were alert and firm. When the bear came, Edwin stood firm without running away. He was able to make the bear to leave them. Edwin was building experience and skills which might be relevant.
