What message does this poem express about parents and children?

My daughter — as if I

owned her — that girl with the

hair wispy as a frayed bellpull

has been to the barber, that knife grinder,

and had the edge of her hair sharpened.

Each strand now cuts

both ways. The blade of new bangs

hangs over her red-brown eyes

like carbon steel.

All the little

spliced ropes are sliced. The curtain of

dark paper-cuts veils the face that

started from next to nothing in my body —

My body. My daughter. I’ll have to find

another word. In her bright helmet

she looks at me as if across a

great distance. Distant fires can be

glimpsed in the resin light of her eyes:

the watch fires of an enemy, a while before

the war starts.

many were disgusted, nauseated and shook their heads with disapproval upon finding out about the recycling of water process. however, they do not seem to understand that this process actually saves water.

although individuals may argue that it is unhealthy, and or unsafe to drink water that is "from toilet to tap" , the water is 100% safe to drink and involves forcing the water across a membrane, which "removes   any impurities, including viruses, pharmaceuticals and dissolved minerals" , according to paul rozin, a psychology professor who studies revulsion.

i agree that that the thought of drinking water that once ran through someones kitchen sink isn't quite appealing, but recycled wastewater is safe to drink. it also saves water. "the city produces nine million gallons a day" claims russell schreiber, the city’s director of public works.

recycled waste water has absolutely no health concerns whatsoever. when wastewater goes into a system, it's absorbed back into the ground. thus, it goes into a sewer system, then goes through a treatment process that removes contaminants before being released. nonetheless, there is no problem in drinking water that has been recycled.

"in drought-ed california, there are six state agencies that use wastewater that comes from an intellectual property source," according to the university of california, riverside. studies show that this water is completely safe to drink, however, it still doesn't mean people are going to happily pour it in a water glass.

researchers hope it "may make consumers more amenable to drinking recycled wastewater," extraordinarily, women who have a higher "disgust reaction" and make most consumer purchasing decisions.

b)metaphor

explanation:

when reading the sentence carefully it says,"hope is a thing with feathers" it's like saying: hope is a thing like feathers

get what i'm saying? instead of using a smilie like or as they use "with"

it would be nice enough if i got .
