The poem is dedicated to the author's father who was tortured and imprisoned during the Cultural Revolution.  

In the first stanza of the poem, the author describes that how his father was a school principal and one day he caught a carp and everybody in the school tasted it. The poem emphasizes the importance in Chinese culture where it represents perseverance, luck, and success. Paradoxically, Wang writes that her son is named Carp and yet he died an early death.  

The carp also represents a loss of innocence  and the flawed nature of people with the lines "they had tasted the carp". This stanza shows how a good memory turned into a painful one.

In "The Carp," by Yun Wang, the use of the carp to represent something deeper is an example of Synecdoche. The carp is used to represent the pain and injustice of her father’s imprisonment. “The Carp is dedicated to Wang’s father, and many of the poems in her little book tell stories from that period.

Emily: I never felt so alone in my whole life. And George over there, looking so...I hate him. I wish I were dead. Papa! Papa!
Maru [420]
It’s clear that George and Emily feel hopeless in this situation. They do not want to be marry, but they are being forced to. Universality is when something may apply to a large group of people, maybe even everyone, such as universal themes.

Emily and George’s reluctance shows this to many different types of groups. Smaller groups of people who are forced in to arranged marriages or pressured to marry a person they don’t love can greatly relate to this, as they feel trapped in a fate that they don’t like and don’t want to go through with.

However, on a bigger scale, it can also apply to everyone. Every single person on this planet has had moments where they’ve felt utterly trapped and hopeless when being forced to do something or witness something. It could be as small as being called on by the teacher when you don’t know the answer to the question, or as big as being forced to live with someone who you don’t like for the rest of your life.

This reluctance that Emily and George show in their following through with their marriage can be relatable to everybody, no matter on what scale that relatability can be found.

what are three actions that kashyap argues brands should take to improve conditions for their workers​
sveta [45]

This question is about the article "When Clothing Labels Are a Matter of Life or Death".

Answer:

Promote visibility, extinguish subcontracting, pressure from investors.

Explanation:

In the article Kashyap shows how the clothing and footwear manufacturing industries have been one of the biggest centers of disrespect for human rights, causing workers to work exhaustively, earning few wages and being subjected to inhospitable environments and with little security.

For Kashyap, there are three processes that can prevent this from happening and can improve the lives of these workers. These processes are the transparency of the companies that consume the products of these industries, showing how the entire production process is, the extinction of subcontracting, which subjects workers to inhuman conditions of employment and pressure from investors who can charge for better working conditions.
