Question

reread lines 6-7 "The Survivor." Determine how the tone of these differs from the preceding lines (1-5)

Answer 1

In poem "The Survivor" by Marilyn Chin, the lines 1-5 appears as if the narrator is addressing actions that would be considered bad behavior, but the tone changes in lines 6-7 when she mentions "that your skin is yellow, not white, not black,/ that you were born not a boy-child but a girl," meaning that she is addressing her identity as an Asian girl.
