Answer 1

Emily begins by asserting that she is going to tell her audience “how the Sun rose.” She metaphorically compares the sun’s rays to ribbons that are let loose one at a time.The colorful rays slowly unravel over the ocean where the church steeples seem to “swim in Amethyst.” As the bright fire of the sun appears, the darkened blackness first turns blue, before taking on its brightness in the full glow of the sun.Then suddenly the sun’s appearance spreads quickly.
