Question

(a) Who is l' in the above extract? (b) Why does the speaker want to be an orphan? (c) What is the orphan doing? (d) What do you mean by 'hushed bare feet'? answer these questions ​

Answer 1

Answer:

a) "l" referred in the extract is LAWYER

b)The speaker wants to be an orphan because she is tired of her parents' nagging. Her parents keep an eye on each of her actions, and she is irritated.

c)One legal definition used in the United States is a minor bereft through "death or disappearance of, abandonment or desertion by, or separation or loss from, both parents". In the common use, an orphan does not have any surviving parent to care for them.

d)This means that she imagines if she would have been without parents she would have walked freely in the streets. She would have drawn designs on the soft dust with her uncovered feet very quietly.
