A complex sentence is a sentence that contains an independent clause and a dependent clause. In contrast to an independent clause, a dependent clause cannot stand alone to form a complete sentence. Moreover, dependent clauses are always introduced by a subordinating conjunction. In this sentence, the dependent clause is "After Henry submitted his essay", the subordinating conjunction is "after" and the independent clause, which can stand by itself, is "he realized that he hadn't proofread the last page".

PLEASE, I NEED HELP!!!!!

The answer is that the author used the word willow to portray two different meanings by using the techniques of metaphor and personification.

''An old willow with hollow branches slowly swayed his few high tendrils and sang(...) >> Here the author used the technique of personification in order to explain that the branches performed the human action of dancing.
''Love is a young green willow (...)'' >> Here the author used the technique of metaphor to compare love to a green willow (Willows are associated with spirituality and the ability to bend without snapping, a methaphor that is commonly used in Celtic culture to teach that we must adjust to the situation/feeling instead of fighting against it)

Hope this helps!
