7. R18.4 In "So Much Happiness," what does the comparison in lines 1 through 8 show about

English
1 answer:
seraphim [82]2 years ago
5 0

Answer and Explanation:

"So Much Happiness" is a poem by author Naomi Shihab Nye. In lines 1 through 8, the speaker compares happiness and sadness to show that the former is, at the same time, an easy and uncontrollable feeling. Sadness gives us something to worry about, to tend to:

"With sadness there is something to rub against,

a wound to tend with lotion and cloth."

But with happiness, there is nothing to worry about. Happiness does not demand care. It is easy, free, light. So much so that, no matter where you live, or what kind of life you have, with happiness you learn to love it all.

"But happiness floats.

It doesn't need you to hold it down.

I doesn't need anything."

Explanation:

The speaker is the voice or "persona" of a poem. One should not assume that the poet is the speaker, because the poet may be writing from a perspective entirely different from his own, even with the voice of another gender, race or species, or even of a material object.
