Need Help!! Have until 5 p. m. today. Q1 p. 2 end of poem - : On page 2, Woods on says, "I am born in Ohio but the stories of South Carolina already run like rivers through my veins." How does Woodson use poetic style here, and how does this create meaning?

​

He uses a simile (like rivers through my veins) to sort of paint a picture in the readers mind. The simile shows that while woods was  born in Ohio, the culture and stories of south Carolina have had a big impact on him and have become part of who he is. It could also mean that he knows their stories so well they seem to flow out of him in a way. Like he could tell anyone at anytime without making any mistakes.

hey there!

the reasoning behind university’s having students create prompts is to mainly get to know the person better. they want to know their interests, goals, personality,

it’s also a good way for the university to see the persons focuses in life. for example, if someone’s room is very organized and clean, usually all aspects of their life are the same.

so really, having people prompting to apply to a university is so the college can get more information about that person.

hope this you! if you need any more details, i’d be happy to
