Think of the Siren in the poem as representing women, and the victim in the poem as a representation of men. What relationship between men and women does Atwood portray in this poem? In other words, what is Atwood, the author of the poem, saying about men and women? Siren Song

By Margaret Atwood

This is the one song everyone

would like to learn: the song

that is irresistible:

the song that forces men

to leap overboard in squadrons

even though they see beached skulls

the song nobody knows

because anyone who had heard it

is dead, and the others can’t remember.

Shall I tell you the secret

and if I do, will you get me

out of this bird suit?

I don’t enjoy it here

squatting on this island

looking picturesque and mythical

with these two feathery maniacs,

I don’t enjoy singing

this trio, fatal and valuable.

I will tell the secret to you,

to you, only to you.

Come closer. This song

is a cry for help: Help me!

Only you, only you can,

you are unique

at last. Alas

it is a boring song

but it works every time.

The Siren that is representing the woman in this relationship feels trapped and feels as if she is not able to move on. The victim known as the male is lonely and in the end always falls into her.

Explanation:

This is what I got from it lol, tweek it as you will. have a great study!

Hey there!

Sentence fragments are phrases that cannot stand alone because they do not have both a subject  and a predicate (action), or they have both but have a subordinate conjunction beginning them, making it incomplete. Let's find your answers below.

1. For, example, Chinatown. This phrase has a subject here but no predicate.

2. Is a unique community of approximately 14,000 people. This fragment has a predicate but no subject.

3. Have Chinese restaurants, clothing stores, bakeries, banks, bookstores, gift shops, jewelers, markets, beauty salons, and more. There is a predicate but no subject.

4. Because they haven't needed it. Although this has a subject and a predicate, it is still a fragment because of the word because, which makes it a dependent clause.

5. Is possible to get almost any Chinese product or service in Chinatown. This has a predicate but no subject.

6. Without traveling to China. This is just complement but it is not a subject or predicate.

7. If you have a car. This is a dependent clause again because of the word if, even though it has a subject and predicate.

8. Which is neither fast or convenient. Another dependent clause

9. Only buses, and they can take a long time to go anywhere. This is another dependent clause.

10. Because traffic is heavy. Also a dependent clause.

I hope this helps! Have a great day!
