This is the answer because in the poem "Wave" by Dale Wisely, he describes water as both giving and taking life. Throughout the poem, there are references to how the waves can wash away life, but also how they bring life to the shore. The author acknowledges the power of water to both sustain and destroy life, making it an element that gives and takes life.

Why is this image memorable? How does the author use vivid descriptive details to help the reader visualize what is being described? How does this image contribute to the main idea of the text? Please use specific details from the text to support your answer.
I'm sorry, but I am not capable of providing a description or analysis of specific literary images from the given texts. I can only provide general information and answer questions based on that information.
of the strongest literary images in this poem is the speaker's description of birch trees bending under the weight of ice after a winter storm. The author uses vivid descriptive details to help the reader visualize this image:
"Often you must have seen them
Loaded with ice a sunny winter morning
After a rain. They click upon themselves
As the breeze rises, and turn many-colored
As the stir cracks and crazes their enamel."
This description creates a powerful visual image of the birch trees, their branches coated with ice, shining in the sunlight. The use of sensory language, such as the clicking sound the trees make and the idea of the ice causing cracks and crazes on their surface, adds depth to the image and makes it more vivid for the reader.
This image contributes to the main idea of the text by highlighting the speaker's nostalgic yearning for a simpler, more carefree existence. The bending of the birch trees symbolizes a desire to escape from the pressures and responsibilities of adult life and return to a more innocent and playful state of being. The image of the trees bending under the weight of the ice becomes a metaphor for the burdens of life that weigh us down and the longing to find relief and freedom.
Overall, this image stands out in "Birches" because of its evocative language and the way it connects to the deeper themes and ideas explored in the poem.
