Question

In the poem "i am offering this poem," by jimmy santiago, what is the connotation of the lines, "if you were lost, needing direction, in the wilderness life becomes when mature"? a. hopeful b. negative c. positive d. neutral

Answer 1

dddddddddddddddddddddd

Answer 2

b. negative

Step-by-step explanation:

The connotation of these lines is slightly negative. In these lines, Jimmy Santiago is telling us that, as we become older (as our "lives" are more "mature"), life becomes a lot more complicated (it becomes a "wilderness") and this can make us get lost. The idea of being lost in a complex life is not an appealing one. However, this negative idea contrasts with the hope he offers us: take his poem so that it guides us through these difficult times.
