Read the poem "heat" by h. d. in explorations in literature. how do the lines in the second stanza evoke a sense of time and place in which this poem is set? the words points, rounds, and blunts, along with the reference to "that presses up," indicate that the poem takes place at dinnertime in a kitchen. the words fruit, drop, and heat, along with the reference to "thick air," indicate that the poem takes place in an orchard in summer. the words cannot and drop, along with the reference to "through this thick air," indicate that the poem takes place in fog in the early morning. the words fruit and presses, along with the reference to "fall into heat," indicate that the poem takes place at noon in a food-processing plant.

The correct answer about how the words in the second stanza would evoke a sense of time and place in which this poem is set is the second option: The words fruit, drop, and heat, along with the reference to "thick air," indicate that the poem takes place in an orchard in summer.

The place where the poem could be set is probably where the fruits could drop, possibly from their trees. That isn't possible, according to the author, at that specific time, because the "fruit cannot fall into heat". The word "fall", along with drop, is another indicator that there would be trees in the scenery created, and the expression "into heat" shows that the heat is something inevitable, just a fact presented by the weather how it is in the poem's time and place. The "thick air" brought by the author is also a weather indicative. In summer, usually, the heat makes the air seem thicker than in other seasons.

The first option "The words points, rounds, and blunts, along with the reference to "that presses up," indicate that the poem takes place at dinnertime in a kitchen" couldn't be the correct one, because it isn't possible to infer, just by the words that express the fruits' shapes and the explanation of a heat that "presses up"  that the poem takes place at a kitchen. There is also nothing else in the poem that could indicate its place as being inside a kitchen.

The third option "The words cannot and drop, along with the reference to "through this thick air," indicate that the poem takes place in fog in the early morning" couldn't be correct, because it can be understood, in that same stanza, that the thick air mentioned is caused by the heat, and not by a fog. Also, there is nothing on the poem that indicates an early morning.

The fourth option "The words fruit and presses, along with the reference to "fall into heat," indicate that the poem takes place at noon in a food-processing plant" couldn't be correct, because it is possible to understand from the poem that the heat is what "presses and blunts", and also there is nothing on the poem that could confirm that it takes place at noon.

    prior to dee leaving home, the everyday objects in her household were just that- everyday objects. she took no special notice of any of them. however, once she returns home, all of these objects represent great culture significance to her. she is incredibly enthused about how great the wooden benches and old quilts are because she thinks it is in-style to be in touch with her own culture.

hope this : )
