Question

what does harjo mean when she says, \sometimes i feel that i write as a painter. its almost as if i paint the poems\? harjo includes some of the poems she writes in her paintings. harjo uses words like paint on canvas to express her thoughts and ideas. sometimes harjo uses the names of various paint colors in her poems. sometimes harjo prefers to paint pictures rather than write poetry.

Explanation:

Harjo's statement is a metaphor. When a painter creates, they use colors and brushstrokes on a canvas to form a visual image. Similarly, when Harjo writes poems, she uses words (like a painter uses paint) to create vivid mental images, emotions, and ideas in the reader's mind. It's about the creative process of using a medium (words for her, paint for a painter) to express something.

Answer:

B. Harjo uses words like paint on canvas to express her thoughts and ideas.
