Answer from: maribelsalgado3

The correct answer is D) He uses the familiar language of household chores to express his desire to correct global issues.

Explanation:

In the poem, the speaker is reciting how will he do his "laundry". Ginsberg uses informal, simple language alluding to house chores with which the middle-class reader will feel identified: "Rub.. off", "scrub up", "I'd wash... and clean", "wipe up". The speaker places himself in the role of an all intervining-being and plays witht he idea of "cleaning" the world's problems as one does with laundry: raging from political issues to environmental issues. For instance:

- "I’d throw in my United States, and pour on the Ivory Soap, scrub up Africa, put all the birds and elephants back in the jungle," (environmental)

- "Dump the whole mess of Russia and China in the wringer" (political)

In this excerpt from "quality" by john galsworthy, which two parts clearly indicate the literary point of view of the essay? that tenement had a certain quiet distinction; there was no sign upon its face that he made for any of the royal family—merely his own german name of gessler brothers; and in the window a few pairs of boots. i remember that it always troubled me to account for those unvarying boots in the window, for he made only what was ordered, reaching nothing down, and it seemed so inconceivable that what he made could ever have failed to fit. had he bought them to put there? that, too, seemed inconceivable. he would never have tolerated in his house leather on which he had not worked himself. besides, they were too beautiful—the pair of pumps, so inexpressibly slim, the patent leathers with cloth tops, making water come into one's mouth, the tall brown riding boots with marvellous sooty glow, as if, though new, they had been worn a hundred years. those pairs could only have been made by one who saw before him the soul of boot—so truly were they prototypes incarnating the very spirit of all foot-gear. these thoughts, of course, came to me later, though even when i was promoted to him, at the age of perhaps fourteen, some inkling haunted me of the dignity of himself and brother. for to make boots—such boots as he made—seemed to me then, and still seems to me, mysterious and wonderful.
