i need 3 paragraphs with quotations about what we learn about the culture in the poem 'blessing' ?

this is the poem ;;

The skin cracks like a pod.
There never is enough water.

Imagine the drip of it,
the small splash, echo
in a tin mug,
the voice of a kindly god.

Sometimes, the sudden rush
of fortune. The municipal pipe bursts,
silver crashes to the ground
and the flow has found
a roar of tongues. From the huts,
a congregation : every man woman
child for streets around
butts in, with pots,
brass, copper, aluminium,
plastic buckets,
frantic hands,

and naked children
screaming in the liquid sun,
their highlights polished to perfection,
flashing light,
as the blessing sings
over their small bones.

10 POINTS.
 
It sounds as though you want somebody to do your homework for you. If so, you should be more specific. What culture? Who wrote the poem? Why should I do your homework for you?

When I was in high school, in the 90s, the Internet as we know it was in its infancy. Which meant I had to do my own homework, by myself, by going to the library and doing research. (This was just before computer card catalogs were invented.) I didn't have the ability to go on a message board to try and get others to do it for me. I didn't do very well in high school, but at least I earned my grades honestly.
 
haha! i had the same poen for homework like a month ago! the poem is based in pakistan i think because the poet is a pakistanii. it's about how bad conditions are in places remote and uncared for and how a in a single moment everything can change and their lives temporarily filled with the joys of water and life. thats exaplined in the screaming children part at the end.
 
Some ashy *ss africans who live in grass huts who just came out for first time after getting highlights and perms and lotion to cover their ashy *ss skin. Then the kids start singing for the blessings of perm, highlight dye and lotion they just recieved.
