Read these lines from the poem "Facing It' by Yusef Komunyakaa:
A white vet's image floats
close to me, then his pale eyes
look through mine. I'm a window.
He's lost his right arm
inside the stone. In the black mirror
a woman's trying to erase names:
No, she's brushing a boy's hair.
Which language best describes one effect of the poet's use of figurative language in this excerpt?
A. It shows the difference between a mirror that reflects images and a window that admits light.
B. It contrasts the action of making a pencil rubbing of an engraved name and erasing a name from the wall.
C. It gives the speaker the quality of empathy to show that he is open to the pain of other Vietnam veterans.
D. It attributes human qualities to the wall to emphasize how it brings together people from all walks of life.
