Part B: The quote which best supports the answer to Part A is:
B. "It solved by itself a math problem / that multiplied the one death by millions / to equal homeland." (Lines 37 - 39)
Explanation:
I found this question online; it refers to the poem "Bag of Bones" by Dunya Mikhail.
<u>The poem's theme concerns the death of many as well as the death of one. </u>One death will bring an impact with it - in the poem, it is the mother who lost her son. When a mass grave was dug up, she was able to find his remains, which brought back the memories of when he was alive as well as the feeling of loss and injustice - his death was the result of a dictatorship.
However, many more mothers are still there, at the grave, looking for their children. That one mother's tragedy is the same tragedy of many others. <u>What the dictator has done is ruin several individual lives which, when put together, results in a collective tragedy for millions.</u>
•The prolonged beginning, narrated by a first-grader emphasises how big the world is to children.
•The sentences are long, laced with a lot of punctuation which sounds similar to how young children speak.
• the narrator settled into his ‘frustrated six-year-old silence’ and here, it is emphasised how a six year old communicates when angry, through silence. The author almost mocks this, through the use of sibilance. This proves the worlds ambiguity and how much more the child has to grow.
Here’s a few points to mention, hope it helps:) I’m not sure how old you are, so it may or may not be too complex
