help ASAP pls!! Read the poem "Mother" by Lola Ridge. Then, answer the question that follows. Your love was like moonlight turning harsh things to beauty, so that little wry souls reflecting each other obliquely as in cracked mirrors… beheld in your luminous spirit their own reflection, transfigured as in a shining stream, and loved you for what they are not. You are less an image in my mind than a luster I see you in gleams pale as star-light on a gray wall… evanescent as the reflection of a white swan shimmering in broken water. Based on the figurative language used by the poet, which statement best expresses the theme of the poem? A parent's or guardian's love provides a light that reflects the brightest version of ourselves. As an adult it can be difficult to remember what childhood is like.

What is a (good) counterclaim for the claim; It should be illegal to own exotic animals under certain circumstances.

What is the theme of this poem:

For other fruits my father was indifferent.

He’d point at the cherry trees and say,

“See those? I wish they were figs.”

In the evenings he sat by our beds

weaving folktales like vivid little scarves.

They always involved a figtree.

Even when it didn’t fit, he’d stick it in.

Once Joha was walking down the road

and he saw a figtree.

Or, he tied his camel to a figtree and went to sleep.

Or, later when they caught and arrested him,

his pockets were full of figs.

At age six I ate a dried fig and shrugged.

“That’s not what I’m talking about!” he said,

“I’m talking about a fig straight from the earth—

gift of Allah!—on a branch so heavy

it touches the ground.

I’m talking about picking the largest, fattest, sweetest fig

in the world and putting it in my mouth.”

(Here he’d stop and close his eyes.)

Years passed, we lived in many houses,

none had figtrees.

We had lima beans, zucchini, parsley, beets.

“Plant one!” my mother said,

but my father never did.

He tended garden half-heartedly, forgot to water,

let the okra get too big.

“What a dreamer he is. Look how many

things he starts and doesn’t finish.”

The last time he moved, I had a phone call,

my father, in Arabic, chanting a song

I’d never heard. “What’s that?”

He took me out to the new yard.

There, in the middle of Dallas, Texas,

a tree with the largest, fattest,

sweetest figs in the world.

“It’s a figtree song!” he said,

plucking his fruits like ripe tokens,

emblems, assurance

of a world that was always his own.
