Answer:

The flowers are personified as humans.

Explanation:

In the poem the writer uses words that make the flowers sound alive. Wide-eyed gazing into the distance, waiting for the 3 o'clock train. The flowers seem to be more alive this way rather than if you were to describe only their physical attributes.

Based on the passage what is sanchos purpose for writing
Hunter-Best [27]

Based on the passage, the Sancho's purpose for writing is to convince Sterne to write about slavery.

Sancho is meekly requesting assistance, whilst Cugoano is pleading for urgent and significant revisions to the laws governing slavery.

Sancho pushes for aggressive action, whilst Cugoano urges individuals to make minor changes to eradicate slavery. Sancho appeals to the whole public, but Cugoano appeals to his audience directly. Sancho, who is urging quick action, is less patient than Cugoano.

The statistics disprove a common belief about Jadon Sancho's preferred position at Manchester United. Jadon Sancho was recruited by Man United to play on the right wing, but his finest efforts have come from the left.

The above question is incomplete , the complete question is:

Based on the passage, what is Sancho’s purpose for writing?
