Its the first option. sorry i couldn't write it, it took me to the next question
Answer:
independent
Explanation:
I think it might be independent
In "The Black Snake" the speaker feels sympathy for the snake once it is killed. He describes the snake as "<span>beautiful and quiet as a dead brother." This shows he actually cares about the snake as a creature.
In "A Narrow Fellow in the Grass" the speaker feels anxious about the snake. The dashes and the line breaks form pauses when read aloud and help create suspense in the poem.
Hope this helps! Let me know any other questions you have :)</span>
