In the first 12 lines of "Trust" by Susan Kinsolving, the poet uses imagery to describe a world apart from human culture (A). The poet describes different animals in their natural habitat, away from the sight of humans. This is clearly shown from the passage that reads, "far from cameras or cars." Also, the poet mentions a tasmanian tiger which is believed to be extinct, but could still be living in the wild. If it is, however, it has never been seen by humans. The poem is called "Trust" because we need to simply believe and have confidence that all of these things happen or exist even though we cannot see them.

these servants know ulysses by the scar he got when he was a child - so when he showed them the mark, they immediately knew this is truly their master and they hugged him, finally starting to believe his words.
