Okay so i'm reading this story and there's this part in a question i don't get.

i'm going to try to make the question simpler so it doesn't require reading [hopefully]

in "eleven," rachel says that when you're eleven, you're also ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, and one. what does rachel mean by this and why do you think the author chose these words to convey this meaning?

i got the part on what it means, but i'm confused why would the author choose the words you see up there about being the age under eleven to convey the meaning. [you don't need the story for this]

it ends with a marriage, but also with prospero giving up his power.

the tempest is a play written by william shakespeare between 1610-1611, it narrates the story of prospero a magician that sets a storm to wreck a ship, this sets the story to kill the king of naples. while it is a romantic style play, it isn´t traditional because of the ending, it end with the marriage and the magician giving up his powers.

the chosen symbology is the 'sweet secret' which anna confesses on january 6th.

anne's thoughts on her mother are further indication of her growing maturity and of her feelings of isolation from her mother.

the homoeroticism of this passage led it to be excluded from early editions of the journal. this passage shows anne's simultaneous innocense about and fascination with sex. she's clearly aware and unafraid of being sexual, but at the same time is seemingly unaware that her homosexual feelings could be considered taboo back then.

hope this !
