Help!?


I need help for the questions

1. Am example of a rhyme in paragraph 4 of the poem.

2. What are the connotation of the word crashed in the paragraph 4 of the poem.

3. The narrator/ suggests he does not come down to the beach just ti cool down and swim. What is another positive aspect of the beach for him. Provide a quote that supports the idea

Answer 1

Answer:

1) "Watch Rangitoto do it's /Auckland in high summer bit"

2) The connotation there is somewhat negative, since the word 'crashed' is used, as well as the connotation being that this silence is fully surrounding, since something, when it crashes, usually hits heavily.

3) "We do all the things a man and a boy can do at the shore" supports the idea that the speaker goes to the beach in order to spend time with his son, not just to cool off.
