What is the main idea in stanza 1

"Far enough down is China", somebody said.
"Dig deep enough and you might see the sky
as clear as the bottom of a well.
Except it would be real -- a different sky.
Then you could burrow down until you came
to China! Oh it's nothing like New Jersey.
There's people, trees, and houses, and all that,
but much, much different. Nothing looks the same".

the correct answer is "tan believes that nonstandard english can make family communication difficult". raising children across cultures can sometimes be challenging, especially when the values and expectations are from different cultures. this can make it difficult to feel a sense of belonging to any community.

b. the poet identifies with private people.

    in the stanza, dickinson states she doesn't wish to seek fame and recognition from the public eye. nor is she afraid of authority figures, and you can definitely tell she isn't hiding something. more as she identifies with private people, who are not known by the community

i decided to stay late in the laboratory to continue my experiment with the lightbulb. at midnight, thomas edison opened the door and saw all the stuff he was working on. the lightbulb, film and the transmitter. as he walks in an idea hits him on how the lightbulb would work. he would have to change a few wires around to get it to light up. when he did change the wires around it worked so he decided to write a telegraph to his friend to tell him about his success.   as he was packing up he grabbed the telegraph and walked to his home. he told his wife about the success and the next morning mailed the telegraph.

the purpose is to inform because for some reason they really want you to know about it.
