Based on the given excerpt above, I can say that the what the carp represents here are DEATH and INNOCENCE. Death here refers to how the twenty-pound carp was being treated and innocence refers to the teachers and boarding students who tasted the carp. This excerpt is actually from Yun Wang's "The Carp" and this lyric poem reflects his bad experiences from his father, such as imprisonment and torture.

Anton [14]

Answer:

From the opening sentence, we understand that there are thirteen bubbles that floated in the milk.

The author described the bubbles as "transparent hemispheres gleamed like souvenirs of the summer days just past, rich with blue reflections of the sky and of shadowy greens".

The effect of the author's choice of words was that of imagery as it helped the readers to "see" the bubbles in their mind's eye with such clarity as it was so succinctly described.

The author further described John's actions as he used the spoon to scoop the milk and swallow it in such a way that suggested he was either very hungry or in a hurry.

"John Hawkins jabbed the bubble closest to him with his spoon,. . .there was no mark of where it had been"

This description had the effect of making the readers know how eager John was to consume the milk and how quickly the ripples vanished.

The readers can also infer that John consumed the milk in an aggressive manner because of the way he jabbed at the ripple closest to him in his effort to drink the milk.

In at least 100 words, describe a coming-of-age story that you have read and explain why it can be described in those terms.

I have read "The Things They Carried" by Tim O'Brien. This story is a fictional story about a young man who was drafted for the Vietnam war in his first years of college. This book describes the coming of age of multiple characters in its portrayal of each character individualistically. It shows how fast each of these young men had to grow up after joining the war and the difficulties they faced. It is easy to forget how young these guys are because of the things they say or the actions they must take. There are many moments in the book that make you stop and go "Hey wait. These are just kids," and it really shows the maturing process and the stresses of war in addition to suddenly being thrust into adulthood.
