GIRL - "... this is how you set a table for tea, this is how you set a table for dinner, this is how you set a table for dinner with an important guest, this is how you set a table for
lunch, this is how you set a table for breakfast, this is how to behave in the presence of
men who don't know you very well, and this way they won't recognize immediately the
sl** I have warned you against becoming,"

THE LETTER FROM HOME - "1 milked the cows, I churned the butter, I stored the
cheese, I baked the bread, I brewed the tea, I washed the clothes, I dressed the
children, the cat meowed, the dog barked the horse neighed, the mouse squeaked, the
fly buzzed, the goldfish living in a bowl stretched its jaws, the door banged shut, the
stairs creaked, the fridge hummed, the curtains billowed up, the pot boiled, the gas
hissed through the stove, the tree branches heavy with snow crashed against the roof"
1. While reading these two selections, what similarities do you see between them?
2. What is the purpose of the prose poem "Girl"?
3 in "Girl", what is the narrator explaining to the unknown (female) audience?

the narrator is saying that the old lady made her feel uncomfortable. you know this because they say "i found that rather irksome", "perhaps it was her being so upright and trim", and "i don't think it was that, because i thought that quaintly pleasant." hope this !

first of all the mood needs to be defined: it is obviously a mood of deceitful relief and serenity. why? because the cape horn is one of the most violent maritime regions of earth and although it has been left behind, it is a personification of ahab’s delirium and the fact that the end of the passage speaks about it about being “hidden” but “raving” immediately conveys the feeling the calm is not permanent but fleeting.

furthermore, the oxymoron “mild stun'sails” is the first instance of such feeling as the adjective “mild” is associated with “stunned” underscoring the fleeting nature of this “tranquil” moment. and the contrasts keep piling up, with the opposition between “dark den” and “blessed light and air” to end with the final conclusion that leaves the reader with the uneasy knowledge that this is just a reprieve.
