Answer 6:
The poet feels a sense of loss by looking at an old photograph of her mother. She remembers her mother’s reaction to that photo later in life. These memories make her personal loss acute.
Answer 7:
One should handle change by recounting the past, as did the poet in the poem ‘A Photograph’ where she refreshes memories of her dead mother through a photograph taken on a beach holiday.
