Answer:

Humans living in or near the town.

Explanation:

Rachel Carson's short fairytale "A Fable For Tomorrow" is one of her collection of stories in her book "Silent Spring". This fable pictures a town full of life that suddenly changes to a deserted town after numerous maladies and illnesses overtook it.

Though the story started off with a quaint, nice, and peaceful town, it slowly progresses into a deserted, imaginary town. This was because of the <em>"a white granular powder [that] had fallen like snow upon the roofs and the lawns, the fields, and streams."</em> Though Carson admits in the end that this is no real story of any town, in particular, it still can be a possibility in many parts of America. And the source of this <em>"white powder"</em> is, as Carson wants to point out, the frequent use of pesticides and chemicals by humans.

Thus, the correct answer is the last option.

seropon [69]

Answer:

Stanza 1- She uses words such as "you" and "I know" to show that she is directly speaking towards it.

Stanza 2- She talks in past tense, as if it has a memory.

Stanza 3-She seems to reference situations in which the character has been in.

"simple" this shows that she thinks of the rat as a simple creature and is almost mad at others for wanting to be angry at the rat.

I think the rat could represent what people see as the "bottom of society". We are so quick to judge others for their simple actions, or rather, actions that differ from ours. It is represented clearly in this poem that she thinks of the rat just like everyone else.

Explanation:

"Select one word or phrase from the poem and comment on how the connotation of that word or phrase contribute to Acevedo characterization of the rat" DONT KNOW HOW TO DO THIS ONE

You didnt provide the title, so i cant make up something for that.
