read this poem and answer the questions.
you begin this way:
this is your hand,
this is your eye,
that is a fish, blue and flat
on the paper, almost
the shape of an eye.
this is your mouth, this is an o
or a moon, whichever
you like. this is yellow.
outside the window
is the rain, green
because it is summer, and beyond that
the trees and then the world,
which is round and has only
the colors of these nine crayons.
this is the world, which is fuller
and more difficult to learn than i have said.
you are right to smudge it that way
with the red and then
the orange: the world burns.
once you have learned these words
you will learn that there are more
words than you can ever learn.
the word hand floats above your hand
like a small cloud over a lake.
the word hand anchors
your hand to this table,
your hand is a warm stone
i hold between two words.
this is your hand, these are my hands, this is the world,
which is round but not flat and has more colors
than we can see.
it begins, it has an end,
this is what you will
come back to, this is your hand.
what does the cloud in the simile represent?
what does the warm stone signify? is it only the child's hand?
how is this description different from saying simply that the hand is warm?
how is this description different from saying the hand is like a warm stone?
is this an effective metaphor? why or why not?

Read the excerpt below from "letter from birmingham jail" and then answer the question below: "my citing the creation of tension as part of the work of the nonviolent resister may sound rather shocking. but i must confess that i am not afraid of the word "tension." i have earnestly opposed violent tension, but there is a type of constructive, nonviolent tension which is necessary for growth. just as socrates felt that it was necessary to create a tension in the mind so that individuals could rise from the bondage of myths and half truths to the unfettered realm of creative analysis and objective appraisal, so must we see the need for nonviolent gadflies to create the kind of tension in society that will men rise from the dark depths of prejudice and racism to the majestic heights of understanding and brotherhood." how does king's repetition of the term "tension" impact the meaning of the text? dr. king says that he is afraid of the word tension and he doesn't think it is necessary. dr. king repeats the word tension to explain how he sees the word as a negative force that discourages change. dr. king repeats the word tension unintentionally, and it doesn't impact the meaning of the text. dr. king repeats the word tension to support how he views the word tension as positive and growth-producing.
