Read the excerpt then in at least one hundred words, tell why Saffarzadeh feels that she must "make
confession" in "Birthplace." How is the tone in this excerpt different from the beginning of the poem?
"Birthplace"
The first visit I make to my birthplace
I'll peel from the wall
that ashamed look of my mother
and there where the bold rhythm of my pulse began

Brawling drunk isn't my language
I take no pride in killing
Male supremacy
never fattened me at its table
