Answer

Brief Explanations:

El alusión al motín de Brixton en 1981 en el poema agrega intensidad emocional. Las imágenes de un motín, como el rugido y la violencia sugeridas, se asocian con los fuertes sentimientos del tema del poema. No se describe cómo eran las calles y edificios, no se sugiere que se mencionarán otros motines históricos y no se intenta confundir al lector con la referencia histórica.

Answer:

Ilustra las fuertes emociones asociadas con el tema del poema.
