MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

How does stanza 2 reflect the speaker's relationship with her father (1)

The metaphor implies that the poet is trying to see the beach through her father's eyes and through his lens and perspective

The speaker expresses that her father is oblivious to the ocean and its features (e.g. views, topography, birdlife) unless they are related to his fishing. She implies that similarly, he pays her no attention unless it benefits him

The anti-climax implies that her father was disappointed and perhaps wanted a son after 2 girls

The fish are compared to coins to emphasise the importance of fishing to her father and enhance the idea that the fish represent treasures to him

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

1 min • 2 pts

Discuss the effectiveness of the comparison made in line 12 to the message in the poem: "where fish disperse like coins in light." (2)

The anti-climax implies that her father was disappointed and perhaps wanted a son after 2 girls

The word 'lure' is a pun referring to an object used to attract fish and it means to tempt or entice

The metaphor implies that the poet is trying to see the beach through her father's eyes and through his lens and perspective

The fish are compared to glittering coins to emphasise the importance of fishing to her father. This enhances the idea that the fish represent treasures to him and he considers them more valuable than his own daughter
