Question

Use the excerpt from Peter Pan to answer the question.

Mrs. Darling came to the window, for at present she was keeping a sharp eye on Wendy. She told Peter that she had adopted all the other boys, and would like to adopt him also.

“Would you send me to school?” he inquired craftily.

"Yes.”

“And then to an office?”

"I suppose so.”

“Soon I would be a man?”

“Very soon.”

“I don’t want to go to school and learn solemn things,” he told her passionately. “I don’t want to be a man. O Wendy’s mother, if I was to wake up and feel there was a beard!”

“Peter,” said Wendy the comforter, “I should love you in a beard;” and Mrs. Darling stretched out her arms to him, but he repulsed her. “Keep back, lady, no one is going to catch me and make me a man.”

“But where are you going to live?”

“With Tink in the house we built for Wendy. The fairies are to put it high up among the treetops where they sleep at nights.”

“How lovely,” cried Wendy so longingly that Mrs. Darling tightened her grip.

“I thought all the fairies were dead,” Mrs. Darling said.

"There are always a lot of young ones,” explained Wendy, who was now quite an authority, “because you see when a new baby laughs for the first time a new fairy is born, and as there are always new babies there are always new fairies. They live in nests on the tops of trees; and the mauve ones are boys and the white ones are girls, and the blue ones are just little sillies who are not sure what they are.”

“I shall have such fun,” said Peter, with one eye on Wendy.

“It will be rather lonely in the evening,” she said, “sitting by the fire.”

“I shall have Tink.”

In one to two sentences, determine how Wendy's point of view changes as the dialogue continues.

In this stanza from the poem "Late September" by Amy Lowell, the poet uses personification by describing the wind as "Tearing off the husky rind." This figurative language helps to create an image of the wind forcefully removing the outer layer of something. The poet also uses imagery by describing the wind blowing "feathered seeds to fall," which creates a vivid picture of seeds being carried by the wind. Additionally, the phrase "sun-baked, sheltering wall" uses alliteration and appeals to the senses, as it evokes the feeling of warmth and protection provided by the wall. Overall, these various forms of figurative language help to convey the natural beauty and activity of late September.
