What does this poem mean to you? How did you determine its meaning? (Paragraph) “In the walled garden, surrounded by cold marble
and rows of sanctioned lime trees, I grow

defenseless against desire—I almost touch
myself remembering your scent, time zones away,

clean first, then that sourness
after sex. My eye is a slow thief, it stops

for so little: under the orange tree, a young woman
lifts from her lover’s hair a praying mantis,

its green intelligence like calligraphy
on her hand. Children scream, a man wipes

oil with bread—people still go to lunch
within a war, can you believe it?

It is here I understand I am free, I am perpetual,
because it is you who hungers me.”

it wants you to read whatever it gave you. then compare it to the others you read. you need to use textual evidence, and cite anything you do!

hope this !

the author is intending to draw attention to the plight of refugees, editorial and biography support this. both workpieces make the reader empathize with enrique as well as with the other young migrants from central america. the writer, however, is using a different approach to each text.

the editorial includes strong words to persuade readers. he is trying hard to convince readers in the us to change its refugee approach.

the biography relies on narrative techniques and figurative language which the writer uses wisely in the setting, characterization, and personification to educate readers on the topic.

what does this mean? what is the question you need like what essay?
