In this poem Williams observes an old poor lady eating a plum from a paper bag during the Great Depression around the 1930’s.

Considering the context which the poem was written the best answer for how the use of repetition affects the poem is The repetition develops the poem's compassionate tone.

Because patronizing tone is about treating others as superior, while a defensive tone is marked by seeing others as threatening and an energetic tone shows vitality, force and vigour. Lastly, a compassionate tone will show deep wisdom, empathy, tender words and an attitude of caring for the other.

Select the correct text in the passage. in richard connell's short story "the most dangerous game," zaroffs aristocratic appearance and dignified manners mask his sinister, animalistic nature. which line from the excerpt best provides a glimpse into his true nature? rainsford's first impression was that the man was singularly handsome; his second was that there was an original, almost bizarre quality about the general's face. he was a tall man past middle age, for his hair was a vivid white; but his thick eyebrows and pointed military mustache were as black as the night from which rainsford had come. his eyes, too, were black and very bright. he had high cheekbones, a sharpcut nose, a spare, dark face-the face of a man used to giving orders, the face of an aristocrat. turning to the giant in uniform, the general made a sign. the giant put away his pistol, saluted, withdrew.
