Read the excerpt from stanzas 3 and 4 of "The Turtle.” It isn’t even hers but came to her
in the rain or the soft wind,
which is a gate through which her life keeps walking.

She can’t see
herself apart from the rest of the world
or the world from what she must do
every spring.
Crawling up the high hill,
luminous under the sand that has packed against her skin,
she doesn’t dream

Based on what is happening in this part of the poem, the repeated "s” sound most likely relates to

the natural flow of the turtle’s actions.
the turtle’s difficulty building a nest.
how the turtle views the seasons.
how the sand feels to the turtle.

Based on this excerpt the authors are most likely to attempt to answer which question

Read this excerpt from i never had it made. "it's all that ought to count," he replied. "but it isn't. maybe one of these days it will be all that counts. that is one of the reasons i've got you here, robinson. if you're a good enough man, we can make this a start in the right direction. but let me tell you, it's going to take an awful lot of courage." he was back to the crossroads question that made me start to get angry minutes earlier. he asked it slowly and with great care. "have you got the guts to play the game no matter what happens? " "i think i can play the game, mr. rickey," i said. the next few minutes were tough. branch rickey had to make absolutely sure that i knew what i would face. beanballs would be thrown at me. i would be called the kind of names which would hurt and infuriate any man. i would be physically attacked. could i take all of this and control my temper, remain steadfastly loyal to our ultimate aim? which is the central idea of this excerpt?

In the poem i felt a funeral, in my brain what rhyme scheme does the poet use and how does it contribute to the poem?
