1.) what details does the speaker use to contrast life in her father's original culture and life in the city.

if this question is about the ''Buffalo" poem written by Diane Glancy, i believe that the speaker uses the details of her fathers job of hunting for meat in contrast with his new job in the city in a meat packaging company.

Explanation:

i believe that these are the details the speaker uses because her fathers job at the packaging house completely contrast with his late job of hunting. which is why i think her mother got mad because it might have reminded her of the past culture that was in her house. i hope this might help but i myself didn't understand the poem well but this is what most of my classmates used as well.

the correct answer is:

this is an example of the writer telling through description rather than showing through dialogue.

sometimes writers like to explain explicitely what's happening instead of adding dialogues of the situations., which is the case in this passage,

subject: why anyone can be a genius.

occasion: moving forward in life.

audience: average person

purpose: to push you further in life

speaker: many famous geniuses.

here is the poem:

here is thy, and here is thee, genius is for what he can be.

poem is a matter of rhyme, but like ben frank said, life is a matter of time.

we have great inventors such as thomas edison, who said, "genius is one percent inspiration and 99% perspiration." no, no perspiration as what comes from your skeleton.

we have great minds, from places of all kinds, such as yu kaw la chi tie, (now im switching languages because yu kaw was japanese.)

てちハラスイヒイス, てちラスイヒイス

てちのちみスイヒイス.

you are a genius, well not yet, but you are capable, and that is a bet.
