Question

1. Did you feel more or less sympathy with the girl speaking in "Hanging Fire," than with the one speaking in "Young," explain your answer.
Answer: I felt more sympathy with the girl in "Hanging Fire," because she's fourteen, and she has all worries. She has worries such as she thinks she's going to die, she worries about how she looks, and she has nobody to talk to. Her mother acts careless because she is shut behind a closed door depressed.

3. Why is the girl in "Hanging Fire," upest about her mother's being in the bedroom with the door closed.
Answer: The girl is a teen going through all these emotions, and wondering if she can talk to her mom to ssee her side of it. She wants to tell her mom about boys, being smart, and dancing, but she can't becuase her mother's locked in her room. The girl just wished she had someone to talk to, and someone by her side.

Answer 1

Maybe. This poem is subject to intrepretation.

I think the mom is dead, and in a coffin, and the girl is thinking about committing suicide (going to the dance) and getting dressed up for it, so folks can see her as she wants to be seen. Yes, she is a teen, confused, lost, and doesn't see a future.

Those are my thoughts, however, one can read poems and get different meanings. STick with yours if you believe that is the message to YOU>
