(50 pts) what does the fox represent, and how is it used within the poem? the foxby susan stewartdid we live lightly then? twice we've seen the fox, the flashof red that leapsthe weeds and brush, an after-image gray, then blank, then gonedelight cannot be soughtor pleasure thoughtor joy re-caughtbut twice we've seen the fox, not once, and knew his fear of usstep in time, love, step in time, live inside the morningtwice we've seen the fox, not once, and knew his fear of us

I spent a long time staring at this and even went as far as to look it up online to confirm my thoughts (to which I found nothing). So keep in mind this is a matter of opinion as are most thoughts on what things may represent.

When I read this, I believe that the fox is representing life and death (hence twice we've seen the fox). The poem is using the fox to represent life by saying it is a flash of red, leaping through the weeds and then it just ends. All thoughts cease once the fox is gone. The fox is fearing because people are afraid of death.

That's just my analysis of what is happening.

yas the answer is c

femininity is conveyed through bernice's personality. she doesn't act how the other girls act and everyone thinks she is weird. she learns how to act in a way that was considered femininely appropriate at the time. she becomes so popular but her attempts to be liked end up backfiring when she is pressured into bobbing her hair. the author wrote that bernice cut off her cousin's hair in revenge for tricking her to cut her hair. this was the authors way of trying to change the way feminine is defined and the way women are expected to act.
