Question

When describing her daughter's haircut, the speaker says, "Each strand now cuts / both ways." What is the most likely interpretation of lines 6-7?

A) The daughter's hair hangs unevenly in front of her face.

B) The mother both likes and dislikes the daughter's new hairstyle.

C) The daughter's growing independence can hurt both mother and daughter.

D) The mother wants her daughter to be independent but is afraid for her safety.  

Answer:

The correct answer is D)

 

Explanation:

Sharon Old in her poem alludes to the growing nature of her daughters' independence when she suggests in lines 13-15 that her daughter started as part of her own body like something which was next to nothing and that now, the word daughter no longer adequately describes the relationship between them.

In lines 17 to 20, she suggests that she wants her daughters independence but she has to help her daughter ease into it. She knows it will happen but not without a fight.

Cheers!

I want to see people’s opinion on this.
Tasya [4]

Answer: I would actually disagree on this

Explanation: In America there was a time period where conscientious objectors were ordered by the government to vote. However, their denial to vote brought them severe prison time, torture and opposition. If 16 year olds could vote then people with religious beliefs or who are conscientious objectors would be bullied by political peers and such pressure could obligate them to go against their conscious and norms. From ages 16 to 18 a person is too young to commit the right decisions without a person actually influencing them. A person is capable of thinking for themselves without outward influences when they are about 21 and up. Also, voting is not necessary, it’s simple tradition. It’s a superficial thing, people think they choose the president but in reality it’s the Supreme Court who makes that decision for you. You could fact check that if you attend a civics class or if you directly ask a representative from congress.

Read this excerpt from What Maisie Knew by Henry James and answer the question that follows.
Butoxors [25]

Identify the type of narration used in the excerpt.

The story is told in the third person omniscient point of view. It is a type of narration where the narrator plays god and knows the internal feelings and thoughts of the character. In addition, it allows the reader to know the thoughts and feelings of the character too.

Which words in the excerpt indicate the type of narration?

Using the 3rd person pronouns such as “she,” “he,” “himself,” “her,” and related pronouns show the point of view of the narration; while the words “knew,” “felt,” “wondered” and words that show the inner thoughts and feelings of the character.

What is the effect of this point of view on the reader’s interpretation of the information presented?

The reader is able to make judgements and understand why the main character is behaving that way and the reason behind how the other characters react and respond to the situation. Interpretation of the story becomes more personal and engaging.
