Westkost [7]2 years ago
5 0

Answer: The figurative language here ( ‘A tree my baby brothers could lean on’ and ‘the raft that helps carry them over this life’s rough rivers’) Tells me that the writer of this poem is needed to be a ‘breadwinner’ for the family. This can be enforced by the fact that the poem states the family only consists of ‘Mom and us kids’, The author is now tasked with duties such as caring for his baby brothers once his mother is no longer able to. Families without 2 parental figures is normally very straining to the kids and the single parent, only the strongest can withstand the onslaught of caring for kids. Thus letting me know that the meaning of this poem is that family needs to be there for each other because no one else would.

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Laid

Explanation:

It said here "Zuri was" which means it's in the past so we can't put future tenses in the space like lay or lie but we can change it to the past tense to better fit the tense of the sentence

Quatrain, couplet, octave, or sestet?
Zanzabum

Answer:

The first excerpt is an octave and the second is a sestet.

Explanation:

An octave is composed of eight lines, and a sestet has six. Counting the lines, the poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay" by Robert Frost has eight, thus being an octave, and the excerpt  from "Hero and Leander" by Christopher Marlowe has six lines, meaning that is a sestet.

In Blind, Emma Silver loses her eyesight in a nightmarish accident and she must relearn everything, such as how to cross a busy
Grace [21]

Answer:

In blind the author Rachel DeWoskin uses negative connotation in paragraph 7 the text states, "I’m not courageous enough.” This shows negative connation because she is struggling to accept her new "normal" and is fearful that she will not succeed at learning life again due to her becoming visually impaired.

In the text the author uses positive connotation in paragraph 21 and 23 the text states, "A dozen eggs,” she said. “Do you want to throw them?...Anywhere you want." This shows positive connotation because she is trying to turn a new leaf and by throwing eggs its helping her cope with her "new" beginnings and relearning her way around life.
