Question

Read the poem The Moon: The moon has a face like the clock in the hall; She shines on thieves on the garden wall, On streets and fields and harbor quays, And birdies asleep in the forks of the trees. The squalling cat and the squeaking mouse, The howling dog by the door of the house, The bat that lies in bed at noon, All love to be out by the light of the moon. But all of the things that belong to the day Cuddle to sleep to be out of her way; And flowers and children close their eyes Till up in the morning the sun shall arise. Public Domain Select the description that could be in the poem if the speaker had a different point of view. Her light shines on cats in dark allies Her light shines on me through my window Her light shines silvery in the park Her light shines through the window at night

Answer 1

Answer:

If the speaker had a different point of view, the description that could be in the poem is:

Her light shines on me through my window.

Explanation:

In the original poem, the speaker is using a third-person perspective. That means he talks of the moon and the animals, but does not mention himself at all. If he had a different point of view, it would be a first-person perspective. In that case, he would use first-person pronouns, mentioning himself in the poem. Among the options given, the only one that uses first-person pronouns is: Her light shines on me through my window. For that reason, this is the option that represents a different point of view.
