How does the speaker's use of figurative language contribute to the meaning of the poem. Use evidence from the text to support y

our answer.
I am offering this poem to you,
since I have nothing else to give.
Keep it like a warm coat
when winter comes to cover you,
or like a pair of thick socks
the cold cannot bite through,
I love you,
I have nothing else to give you,
so it is a pot full of yellow corn
to warm your belly in winter,
it is a scarf for your head, to wear
over your hair, to tie up around your face,
I love you,
Keep it, treasure this as you would
if you were lost, needing direction,
in the wilderness life becomes when mature;
and in the corner of your drawer,
tucked away like a cabin or hogan
in dense
trees, come knocking,
and I will answer, give you directions,
and let you warm yourself by this fire,
rest by this fire, and make you feel safe
I love you,
It’s all I have to give,
and all anyone needs to live,
and to go on living inside,
when the world outside
no longer cares if you live or die;
remember,
I love you.

Answer:

The speaker's employment of figurative language produces the idea that love is feeling sheltered, and not something that you can just dispose of. In the third stanza, the poet conveys his idea that loves warmth makes you feel protected by the use of a metaphor

Which sentence has an awkward shift in voice ?
Naddik [55]

The correct answer is A. We practiced for the debate and many arguments were rehearsed.


As you can see in this sentence, in the first part the pronoun <em>we </em>is used, and in the latter part, that pronoun just disappears and the sentence suddenly becomes passive rather than active. The shift isn't done properly - it is rather awkward. The other options are consistent - they use only one voice rather than two (like in sentence A).

3. The Puritans’ habit of seeing specific meaning in their experiences helped them find significance in even very minor events.
OlgaM077 [116]
<span>Rowlandson compares herself to Job, to Israelites, to Daniel in the lion's den, etc. She compares herself with biblical characters probably to show how life resemble these narratives and how they are commanded by God. Like in her illusions she seems to be at the mercy of God's grace because she believes that everything happens for a reason probably to learn a lesson. </span>

???????????????????????????????????????????????????
ollegr [7]

Answer:

<u>Mrs. Vann Daan has a tendency to be more wasteful with food.</u>

Explanation:

I'd say this answer is correct, because you can tell based on the passage that instead of putting the food into a glass dish, she just leaves it out to go bad. You can tell that she doesn't really care enough about saving food, so she just leaves it out. Therefore, we can conclude that she has a tendency to be wasteful with food.
