Practice 1

a) i. A rag doll and a shoe

 ii. She was devastated and depressed
b) It was intense with both anger and emotional hurt in the form of
crying
c) I do not think that is the right thing to do. From the poem, we can see
that the persona is persistent and inquisitive. She will not stop asking
why Lulu has gone away. If she does not get the answer she is looking
for, she may have to hear it from someone else and she will wonder
why her mother has kept it from her.
