Question

When was the photograph taken? (in "This Is a Photograph of Me")

• A. On the day she was born
• B. After the day she drowned
• C. The day they moved into the house
• D. A week before the flood

Answer 1

Answer:

B. After the day she drowned

• In Margaret Atwood's poem "This Is a Photograph of Me," the photograph was taken the day after the speaker drowned.

• The poem's speaker uses the photograph to explore the concept of time and how it influences how we perceive reality.

• The speaker's use of the phrase "the day after I drowned" reframes the reader's understanding of the photograph and the text.
