Read the excerpt from Brighton Beach Memoirs, by Neil Simon
Which line best helps the audience understand Kate's
viewpoint that Eugene is disrespectful to her?
KATE Your Aunt Blanche has a splitting headache,
All right! All right!
O Your Aunt Blanche has a splitting headache.
(She yells out again) And I don't want any back talk,
you hear?
BLANCHE I don't want him to stop playing. It's just the
banging
LAURIE (Looks up from her book) He always does it
when I'm studying. I have a big test in history
tomorrow
One pitch, Mom?
EUGENE One pitch, Mom? I think I can get him to pop
up. I have my stuff today,
KATE Your father will give you plenty of stuff when he
comes home! You hear?
EUGENE All right! All right!
KATE I want you inside now! Put out the water glasses.
BLANCHE I can do that.

One element of lyric poetry is personal reflection. which lines in this poem most clearly illustrate that element? i wandered lonely as a cloudby william wordsworthi wandered lonely as a cloudthat floats on high o'er vales and hills,when all at once i saw a crowd,a host, of golden daffodils; beside the lake, beneath the trees,fluttering and dancing in the breeze.continuous as the stars that shineand twinkle on the milky way.they stretched in never-ending linealong the margin of a bay: ten thousand saw i at a glance,tossing their heads in sprightly dance.the waves beside them danced; but theyout-did the sparkling waves in glee: a poet could not but be gay.in such a jocund company: i gazed and gazed—but little thoughtwhat wealth the show to me had brought: for oft, when on my couch i liein vacant or in pensive mood,they flash upon that inward eyewhich is the bliss of solitude; and then my heart with pleasure fills,and dances with the daffodils.
