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.

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

The government's neglect to send relief teams quickly.

Explanation:

Residents of the Areas most affected by the earthquakes claim that relief and rescue teams were dispatched after two to three days. In that period of time, the damage caused by the earthquakes worsened immensely, many people lost their lives, as they were not rescued in time, not to mention the secondary damage and the despair that this delay causes.

This delay by the government in acting and helping its people, allowed the natural disaster to take on unimaginable proportions and which continue today.
