Answer 5

When all the others were away at Mass
I was all hers as we peeled potatoes.
They broke the silence, let fall one by one
Like solder weeping off the soldering iron:
Cold comforts set between us, things to share
Gleaming in a bucket of clean water.
And again let fall. Little pleasant splashes
From each other's work would bring us to our senses.

So while the parish priest at her bedside
Went hammer and tongs at the prayers for the dying
And some were responding and some crying
I remembered her head bent towards my head,
Her breath in mine, our fluent dipping knives—
Never closer the whole rest of our lives.

Answer 6

Well the author uses words like Cold comforts set between us and uses similes like solder weeping of the soldering iron so the passage is of a colder darker tone. so its either a. b. or c. although the author doesnt seem angry or aggressive so it cant be a. so that leaves us with b. or c. which do you think it is?

Answer 7

i thought it was c, but i dont know if it is suppose to be like a deeper meaning to it.

Answer 8

yes its very difficult to separate the two but nostalgic means to be sentimentally lost in the past the author seems to have focus in the present so you are right, C. would be the best answer, good job

Answer 9

thank you so much!
