,begin bold,A Saddle & the World,end bold,



In Palestine, an old disheveled street,
a wall of tiny shops, where grass grows between crumpled stone,
I stand and watch in the shadow of the wall.
Pots and tin pans and brooms and woven straw mats,
even handmade saddles, spill into the narrow street.
Heavy saddles, covered with burlap, to fit horses,
mules, donkeys, sewn by someone who knows saddles.
A woman in a ,begin italics,thobe,end italics,—a long black dress,
hand-embroidered with red cross-stitching on chest and sides—
pokes around the saddles.
Bending down, she touches, pats, caresses,
like a woman buying cloth.
Finally she lifts her head, then do-si-dos,superscript,1,baseline,
toward the bald man who owns the shop
and asks the price of the saddle she likes best.
But the price isn't set in stone and will change, like the weather,
if you have some smarts at this haggling game.
Like fencing,,superscript,2,baseline, you dance with agile steps around each other,
touch with the point of your foil,,superscript,3,baseline, but never wound.
He says, she says. Words fly, as conductor-hands
sweep the air for emphasis. The woman nods,
and a corner of her mouth lifts. She fingers the coins
inside the slit in her belt.
"Sold! To the woman in embroidered dress!" the auctioneer would call out
if she lived in Texas. Or Oklahoma. Or even New York.
But in Palestine where she lives, a thousand women in embroidered
dresses
would stand to claim the prize.
I, in the uniform of my faded American jeans,
ask the woman a foolish question,
"How will you take this saddle home?"
The woman's face cracks open, a smile spills out.
Squatting, she picks up the saddle, an Olympian heavyweight champion,
she hoists the saddle in the air, then lowers it onto her head.
She stands tall, this Palestinian Yoga-woman, her head not merely holding
a saddle,
But the world.

Hey, guys, I need help what Literary Devices is this scene

“There was talk that her father and mother were taking her back to Earth next year; it seemed vital to her that they do so, though it would mean the loss of thousands of dollars to her family. And so, the children hated her for all these reasons of big and little consequence. They hated her pale snow face, her waiting silence, her thinness, and her possible future”.

Write a summary for the article “Funny women flourish in female-written comedies”

Refer to the passage from "The Wise Fool.”

Further discussion seemed useless, and the meeting was just about to break up when the fool walked up and demanded to be heard. "Listen to me,” he said. "The fairies say my mother should die. It is a fair punishment for her crime. But the fairies walked across my land as they came to the village. I demand that they rub out their footprints before they are allowed to take mother away.” It seemed a foolish, meaningless demand, and everyone said, "How simple!” The fairies agreed.

At sundown the fairies were still working on the sandy plot. Two days went by. And a week. And another. Because just as one set of footprints were got rid of, another set appeared. By the end of the second week, in fact, the fairies had covered the entire plot with footprints. At last they gave up and let the woman live.

What is the moral of the passage?

It is unwise to make deals with fairies.
It is impossible to erase all of one’s footprints.
There can be wisdom in an act that seems foolish.
A punishment should be fair and based on the crime.

The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse
Now you must know that a Town Mouse once upon a time went on a visit to his cousin in the country. He was rough and ready, this cousin, but he
loved his town friend and made him heartily welcome. Beans and bacon, cheese and bread, were all he had to offer, but he offered them freely. The
Town Mouse rather turned up his long nose at this country fare, and said: "I cannot understand, Cousin, how you can put up with such poor food as
this, but of course you cannot expect anything better in the country, come you with me and I will show you how to live. When you have been in town
a week you will wonder how you could ever have stood a country life." No sooner said than done: the two mice set off for the town and arrived at the
Town Mouse's residence late at night. You will want some refreshment after our long journey," said the polite Town Mouse, and took his friend into
the grand dining room. There they found the remains of a fine feast, and soon the two mice were eating up jellies and cakes and all that was nice.
Suddenly they heard growing and barking, "What is that said the Country Mouse. It is only the dogs of the house," answered the other. "Only"
said the Country Mouse. "I do not like that music at my dinner. Just at that moment the door flew open, in came two huge mastiffs, and the two mice
had to scamper down and run off. "Good-bye, Cousin," said the Country Mouse, "Whats going so soon?" said the other. "Yes," he replied: "Better
beans and bacon in peace than cakes and ale in fear
