What is the theme of the poem; SPRING BREAK

BY APRIL HALPRIN WAYLAND

The best clouds in the business

are right above me

right now.

We’re riding in this teal convertible

those clouds just dozing

in about forty-nine different shapes

white as clean paper,

their edges like feathers against the blue sky,

blue as Dad’s eyes.

Dad drives, my sister’s in front

I lay my head on Mom’s lap in the back.

I lay my head on her lap as he drives

this teal convertible that we rented special

just for these four days in Albuquerque.

In it, we are open to the Whole world

to the whole sky

and I know right now

I can see

that these are

the best clouds in the business

Returning from vietnam, we were given a parade. crowds of screaming people waving signs — not just on one road, one day. no, they were everywhere. every day. on the streets, on the television, on the radio. a hot, angry tangle of shaking fists and ugly words that threatened us like a monster with a hundred heads. our country had chewed us up and spit us out, and now we were being treated as if it were our fault. which sentence best uses figurative language to match the paragraph's tone? a. our feet were frozen in place as the street itself strained to hold us back. b. i felt unappreciated and condemned for actions i had thought were heroic. c. i hadn't expected to find myself in a rags-to-riches situation such as this. d. we had come home to a feeding frenzy and were being treated as bait.

Identify the sentence with all words spelled correctly. a. ? it's your responsabilitiy to lock up. b. ? it's your responsability to lock up. c. ? it's your responsabilty to lock up. d. ? it's your responsibility to lock up.

In at least 150 words, explain the symbolism of the quilt in “everyday use.”
