Read the following nonfiction narrative and answer the questions below. Drip, Drip 1986 It happened in math class. 7th grade math was definitely NOT my favorite class. I had Mrs. Fifer, and she was the quintessential math teacher – hair in a bun, glasses on a chain that she wore low on her nose. I was terrified of her. I was wearing white pants that day. I loved those white pants; they had loops on the side like carpenter jeans, extra pockets and pleats. Yes, I knew you weren’t supposed to wear white pants after Labor Day, but I was a rebel. We were taking a test, and that meant we weren’t allowed to leave our desks. This was a hard and fast rule, and there was no way I was going to break it; however, as I was taking my test, I noticed my nose was running a lot. I was constantly sniffing. Then, a drop of blood fell on my test. “Oh no,” I thought to myself. “I’m having one of my nosebleeds.” My nosebleeds were legendary in my house. They were not your average nosebleed; mine were like someone turned the faucet on high and walked away. I put my left hand over my nose with the hopes that I could contain it until after math. Christa, who sat in the desk across from me, looked at me with a, “What is happening to you?” expression on her face. I just looked down and tried to continue my test, but my nose was having none of that. Apparently, covering my nose with my hand was like putting a stopper on a garden hose; there’s only so much pressure it can take before the water busts through. I think you get the idea. My white pants and test looked like a crime scene. Needless to say, Mrs. Fifer sent me to the office and wondered why I had waited so long. I looked at her, with her severe bun and low-hanging glasses, mumbled something and took off to the office. 7th grade math continued to be my least favorite class.

D. with her severe bun and low-hanging glasses

The central idea of the narrative is that the narrator experienced a severe nosebleed during a math test and was too afraid to leave her desk to address it due to the strict rules of the classroom. This focus on the incident and the narrator’s fear encapsulates the main point of the story.

The themes of the story include the difficulty of addressing personal issues (like a nosebleed) while adhering to strict rules (the test), and the broader theme of feeling powerless to speak up or act when under pressure. The story also touches on the necessity of breaking rules to address emergencies, though this is more implied than explicitly stated.

The descriptions of Mrs. Fifer as the "quintessential math teacher" with a "severe bun" and "low-hanging glasses" create an image of a stern and intimidating figure, supporting the narrator’s fear of her. These details contribute to the sense of terror that the narrator feels in her presence.

Here this will really make you think.

The time will come when, with elation, you will greet yourself arriving at your own door, in your own mirror, and each will smile at the other’s welcome, and say, sit here. Eat. You will love again the stranger who was your self. Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart to itself, to the stranger who has loved you all your life, whom you ignored for another, who knows you by heart. Take down the love letters from the bookshelf, the photographs, the desperate notes, peel your own image from the mirror.

I need a little help please on this poem called "little abigail and the beautiful pony" by shel silverstein here is the poem below . I need an analysis as well as the literary elements imagery, tone, mood, conflict, climax, setting, irony, hyperbole, and the theme. Thank you in advance
There was a girl named Abigail
Who was taking a drive
Through the country
With her parents
When she spied a beautiful sad-eyed
Grey and white pony.
And next to it was a sign
That said,
FOR SALE—CHEAP.
“Oh,” said Abigail,
“May I have that pony?
May I please?”
And her parents said,
“No you may not.”
And Abigail said,
“But I MUST have that pony.”
And her parents said,
“Well, you can have a nice butter pecan
Ice cream cone when we get home.”
And Abigail said,
“I don’t want a butter pecan
Ice cream cone,
I WANT THAT PONY—
I MUST HAVE THAT PONY.”
And her parents said,
“Be quiet and stop nagging—
You’re not getting that pony.”
And Abigail began to cry and said,
“If I don’t get that pony I’ll die.”
And her parents said, “You won’t die.
No child ever died yet from not getting a pony.”
And Abigail felt so bad
That when she got home she went to bed,
And she couldn’t eat,
And she couldn’t sleep,
And her heart was broken,
And she DID die—
All because of a pony
That her parents wouldn’t buy.
