English homeowork help :(

[Link_1119 183]

Alright i have been stuck on this fairly easy question on my homework, the questions are

5)Look at verses 7 and 8.

a) Who is the old woman thinking about when she watches the dancing?

b) How does she feel when she remembers this person?

c) Give examples of lines which are repeated in verses 7 and 8. Why do you think the author chose to repeat theese words in particular?

The poem is:

 

 

 

 

Old woman rises from her slumber

Earlier than the sun

Sleep; an infrequent visitor in her world

 

She feels the burden of her world, heavy in her bones

Gently brushing a strand of silvery gray out of her eyes

She labors to unsteady feet

 

Slowly she makes her way to her window

To watch the moon shimmer upon the lake

She sees Them gently fluttering, awaiting the sunrise

 

Calling to her, beckoning her to join them

She pulls her robe tight about her, making her way outside along the shore

They are waiting for her there: The Otherkin

 

No cold wind does she feel,

Aches and pains forgotten

She sits upon the damp grass as they dance for her

 

They land softly upon gnarled hands

Beauty and age in stark contrast

They whisper to her , beckoning her to join them

 

She closes her eyes and flies with them

Over miles, years, time, space

Their music fills her heart and soul; she smiles

 

Once more she is with him; love of her life

From oh so long ago

Their music fills her heart and soul

 

Tonight she joins Them

The pain and fetters of age fall from her

She is young again; she is with him

 

The sun rises casting its yellow glow

Upon the lifeless figure of an old woman

Morning breeze gently lifting her silver strands

 

Peeking from a rosebud nearby

They sing; hand in hand

Together again.

 

 

Verses are paragrahps btw.

ok now im really angry

[Dawn.of.Legend 1,432]

lol,GL on finding a teacher :P

[Reeco9 1,567]

It appears that she has lost somebody close to her, and that she is not at peace. I'd say that death is represented by 'them' throughout the poem. So when she dies, she is finally at peace, and can join the person that she lost.

 

That's my brief analysis - now go and read it again. Note how it says 'Once more she is with him; love of her life' - I'd say it was her husband that passed away.

For part C, I think it wants you to focus on 'heart and soul', because these words reflect the emotional nature of the poem. She goes from being tired/sad, to relaxed at the end of the poem.

Near the start 'silvery gray' could represent her frail, old age, and the sadness that surrounds her. But then at the end the 'yellow glow' from the sun could represent hope and peace, as she meets her loved one again.

I think this is a good answer for question number 6.
