Read the passage.

to waken an old lady
by william carlos williams.

old age is
a flight of small
cheeping birds
skimming
bare trees
above a snow glaze.
gaining and failing
they are buffeted
by a dark wind—
but what?
on harsh weedstalks
the flock has rested,
the snow
is covered with broken
seedhusks
and the wind tempered
by a shrill
piping of plenty.

what do the small cheeping birds symbolize in this poem?

strong winds
snowy weather
wisdom
youth

The small cheeping birds symblize Youth in this poem

Explanation:

In this poem, we first observe that the main topic is old age, not the trees, the snow, or the birds. They are the figurative language used o represent body, time, and memories. Therefore, because the trees represent the person that is standing strong in a base of memories, we can interpret that the cheeping birds is the representation of youth because it is said that old people live hunted by youth and their duel of accepting their time has passed and won't come back, that is why dark winds impulse the birds.

the correct answer is c. analytical reasoning. it is when you analyze the situation to form conclusions.

in a place once known as north america, now known as panem, is a very rich city surrounded by twelve districts. every year because this very rich city, known as the capitol, is so rich and likes to think they control all the districts - which they do - there is something known as the hunger games! this is where two children, one boy and one girl from each district from the ages of twelve to eighteen, have to leave their families and compete in the hunger games, a live event that is aired on tv's all over panem. when katniss everdeen, aged sixteen from district 12, has to volunteer to take the place of her twelve-year-old sister prim after prim's name is called forth to become the 23rd member to compete in the 74th hunger games, she promises to prim that she will win! katniss doesn't believe she's coming out alive - but she's not going down without a fight.

because district 12 is so poor, katniss has been close to death many times from starvation but she's made it through it. but this is a different kind of close to death; this katniss doesn't know if she can survive.

she doesn't want to hurt, or kill anyone but when it comes down to it katniss' instinct is to survive. but when she starts to have confusing feelings about the boy from her district who is also her fellow contender, things get worse, and then she teams up with the girl from district 11 and only one person can survive. but who will it be? will her feelings get the better of her? will she let someone else win so they don't have to die? if katniss is going to win she's going to have to be brutal. she's going to have to kill!
