In Derek Walcott’s "Midsummer,” the speaker reveals his perspective by using allusions that give information about his backgroun

d, the topics that are important to him, and his attitude and feelings. Think about your own background and experiences. In a paragraph, explain how your perspective affects your interpretation and understanding of "Midsummer.”
MIDSUMMER

With the stampeding hiss and scurry of green lemmings, midsummer’s leaves race to extinction like the roar
of a Brixton riot tunneled by water hoses;
they seethe toward autumn’s fire—it is in their nature,
being men as well as leaves, to die for the sun.
The leaf stems tug at their chains, the branches bending
like Boer cattle under Tory whips that drag every wagon
nearer to apartheid. And, for me, that closes
the child’s fairy tale of an antic England—fairy rings,
thatched cottages fenced with dog roses,
a green gale lifting the hair of Warwickshire.
I was there to add some color to the British theater.
“But the blacks can’t do Shakespeare, they have no experience.”
This was true. Their thick skulls bled with rancor
when the riot police and the skinheads exchanged quips
you could trace to the Sonnets, or the Moor’s eclipse.
Praise had bled my lines white of any more anger,
and snow had inducted me into white fellowships,
while Calibans howled down the barred streets of an empire that began with Caedmon’s raceless dew, and is ending
in the alleys of Brixton, burning like Turner’s ships.

One of the purposes of A2S3 is to show the excitement of young long, as both Romeo and Juliet anticipate each other's return to
Ugo [173]

Both Friar Laurence and Nurse are somewhat incredulous about this sudden and overwhelming love that Romeo and Juliet show, just hours before they met. As they are older and more experienced, they believed that this passion is very sudden and that this is not how love is born, however, both are also somewhat hopeful about the marriage of young people to bring the two families closer and to end disputes between them. . Cold Laurence, mostly.

However, Friar Laurence is incredulous and believes that Romeo is reckless in replacing his love for Rosalinda so quickly. He disapproves of the attitude of Romeo, who happy and stunning, says that it was Friar himself who told him to bury his love for Rosalinda. At that moment, Friar replies "Not in a pit, to find new passion out here." Affirming that he did not tell Romeu to replace Rosalinda with another woman, but to overcome the Platonic passion that Romeo had for her.

Identify the adverb phrase and the word it modifies in the following sentence:
mariarad [96]
In my opinion, the correct answer is <span>B) for Halloween // is decorated</span>. Adverb phrases are extended adverbs or phrases that function like adverbs, modifying the sentences' predicates. They tell us how, when, where, why the verb action is performed. In this case, the predicate is is decorated. We can ask the mental question: why or what for is the house decorated? The answer to this question would be for Halloween. And that is our adverb phrase. It shouldn't be confused with an adjective phrase "down the street", which describes the subject "the house".
