Read the poem below and answer the question that follows. “Simile” by N. Scott Momaday What did we say to each other that now we are as the deer who walk in single file with heads high with ears forward with eyes watchful with hooves always placed on firm ground in whose limbs there is latent flight Source: Momaday, N. Scott. “Simile.” The Language of Literature. New York: McDougal Littell, 2006. 265. Print. Which of the following excerpts illustrates the theme that people are cautious around those who have hurt them? I. “who walk in single file/with heads high” II. “with ears forward/with eyes watchful” III. “in whose limbs there is latent flight” I, II, and III I only I and II II and III
in the poem they refer to each other as deer.. and deer who are afraid of getting hurt or hurt again keep their ears forward as a sign of unsureness and eyes watchful just says that they are always on the lookout
