Answer:

An archetype of Good Mother.

An anonymous Vietnamese mother.  

Mirikitani's grandmother.

Explanation:

Janice Mirikitani's poem "Attack the Water" is a short, stacked poem about her own grandmother and how she resembles the face of a woman she saw in a newspaper. The poem shows the suffering and pain of war, especially during the Vietnam war.

In the poem, Mirikitani recounts how the face of an old woman she saw in a newspaper resembles that of her grandmother. Obachan, the Japanese word for grandmother, took care to feed the younger ones, even "eat[ing]" maggot-infested rice to feed the children. This picture of maternal love and care is significant for the grandmother represents an archetype of a mother, while the man source of all this imagination is an anonymous Vietnamese mother. It also took the speaker back to her own grandmother.

Thus, the correct answers are the first, second, and fourth options.

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

1) wants to hide her true feelings about Robert.

Explanation:

<u>In the story, Amy Tan is very much in love with Robert. </u>That is why, when he and his family arrive for the Christmas dinner, she is trying hard to hide her feelings. She does this by ignoring Robert, and pretending she is better than him by acting as if he is "not worthy of existence".

This is the tactic of the opposite sometimes used by people when they like someone - they will act very disinterested in order to draw their attention and seem cool.

In "Auspex," the phrase “dead leaves and snow” at the end of the first stanza implies that the speaker is experiencing feelings
tatiyna

The correct answer is the second one “an absence of love or passion.” In the poem, the general intention of the author is to describe his feelings about the love/passion that it is leaving his life. The sentence “dead leaves and snow”, is the way in which he introduces the absence feeling that he is going through. The birds, as well as the leaves of the tree, are metaphors of love, which are abandoning the tree (his life).
