Read the lines from the poem. “But mem'ry serves me well, I don't forget
Your quiet service, loyal through our days.
Together, in all weather, dry or wet.
Your service to me I will always praise.”

The poet's description makes the backpack seem like a --
O faithful friend
Ofriendly pet
O useless object
O vague memory

should you be the one doing this journal entry? it says "your special talent or skill". are you gonna lie 'bout your talent and make us fake a talent for you?

also this is a really easy journal entry, you can just think of a skill your good at and write did you work hard to become good at this skill (ex: drawing, writing, math, playing music, etc.) or does it come naturally (like a cool trick that you can do with your body). you can do all of that in 150 words. just try and think of a talent and even if your bad at this talent just say your working hard to become good at it.

the switch in narration increases the proximity of the narrator to the main character and the reader can perceive information only through the filter of a single character.

cockroaches and rats often are a symbol for things that are disgusting or vile. though i don't know which play you are talking about, i hope this !
