Question

Sample Response: The speaker’s use of apostrophe to address readers engages them by speaking to them directly. Readers are asked to reflect not only on the joys of the past, but also on the surrounding beauty of the present time. Additionally, readers might reflect on their own futures. They may start to wonder whether the joys of the present day will be understood and felt in a hundred years. This helps readers better relate to the speaker’s emotions.
