Use the excerpt from Chapter 17 of the novel Peter Pan by JM. Barrie to answer the question.
"But where are you going to live?"
"With Tink in the house we built for Wendy. The fairies are to put it high up among the treetops where they sleep at night." [said Peter]
"How lovely," cried Wendy so longingly that Mrs. Darling tightened her grip.
"I thought the fairies were dead," Mrs. Darting said.
"There are always a lot of young ones," explained Wendy, who was now quite an authority, "because, you see, when a new baby laughs for the first time, a new fairy is born, and as there are always news babies, there are always new fairies. They live in nests on the top of trees, and the mauve ones are boys and the white ones are girls, and the blue ones are just little sillies who are not sure what they are."
"I shall have such fun," said Peter, with one eye on Wendy.
"It will be rather lonely in the evening," she said, "sitting by the fire."
"I shall have Tink." [replied Peter].

Authors use repetition to add layers of symbolism and develop meaning. By repeating certain symbols or motifs throughout a literary text, the author can reinforce the symbolic significance of those elements and deepen their impact on the overall theme and message of the work. In this way, repetition and symbolism work in tandem to enhance the depth and complexity of the text.
Peter Pan and Mrs. Darling have different points of view because they come from different worlds - Peter Pan is a magical creature who believes in fairies and lives in a fantastical world, while Mrs. Darling is a grown woman from the human world who is more practical and skeptical. Peter believes in the existence of fairies and bonds with them, while Mrs. Darling is surprised to hear that fairies even exist. Their different backgrounds and beliefs lead to their differing perspectives on the situation.

The main reason for Peter Pan and Mrs. Darling having different points of view is due to their contrasting perspectives on the magical elements present in the story. Peter Pan is a magical being who believes in fairies and lives in a world of fantasy, which shapes his optimistic and adventurous viewpoint. On the other hand, Mrs. Darling is a practical and skeptical adult from the human world, leading her to question and doubt the existence of fairies and the fantastical aspects of Peter's world. Their different beliefs and attitudes towards magic and imagination result in their differing points of view in the scene.

Which rhyme scheme is used in this first stanza of "Ricuerdo"?
[1] We were very tired, we were very merry- We had gone back and forth all night on the ferry. It was bare and bright, and smelled like a stable- But we looked into a fire, we leaned across a table, We lay on a hill-top underneath the moon, And the whistles kept blowing and the dawn came soon.

[3]
We were very tired, we were very merry- We had gone back and forth all night on the ferry. We hailed, "Good morrow, mother!" to a shawl-covered head, And bought a morning paper, which neither of us read; And she wept, "God bless you!" for the apples and pears, And we gave her all our money but our subway fares.
