By keeping the lines of the poem short, the poet is controlling the pace, keeping it slow. As you read, you have to slow down because you're not too certain about the next word or line. This reflects the slow fog rolling in.

Imagery;

Fog meets cat; cat meets fog. Note the use of feet and not paws. The image is of thick white fog which slowly develops into a small feline, becomes life-like and is then gone. The fog is looking, as a cat looks, taking everything in.

to prove that a sense of humor is not important
to illustrate the power of being positive
to show how words can trick people

Answer:

to illustrate the power of being positive

It’s C and the reason why is because using imagery allows the reader to have a better idea of something. For example someone may say your eyes sparkle. Your eyes don’t actually sparkle they’re just saying your eyes are beautiful. It’s the same thing here. Imagery is used to share the beauty of a persons characteristics and it’s why the author used it here
