What does the alliteration “clasps the crag with crooked hands” in the opening line draw attention to?
a) the difficulty of the bird holding onto the rock b) the size of the rock on which the bird sits c) the tiring body of the old bird d) the sharp and powerful talon of the birds
here is the poem
the eagle by alfred lord tennyson (excerpt) he clasps the crag with crooked hands; close to the sun in lonely lands, ring'd with the azure world, he stands. the wrinkled sea beneath him crawls; he watches from his mountain walls, and like a thunderbolt he falls.

i have read the novel roll of thunder hear my cry by mildred d. taylor.

1. this isn't like any other story i've read or watched because it is about a black family in mississippi right after slavery in the u.s. had become illegal. most of the novels i have read were about slavery. another point is that the author of the novel used symbolism in a way i haven't seen before. for example she uses thunder as something negative meaning something bad will happen. but by the end of the novel, she made thunder a good thing.

2.   one character that changed during the novel was stacey. stacey is the eldest child of the black logan family. around the begging of the novel stacey was avoiding the white boy jeremy simms. he had a dislike for jeremy's family. but at the end of the novel stacey began to like jeremy.

3. the author starts the novel with the problem that the children of the logan family have to avoid the white kid school bus while walking to school.
