Read the poem below and answer the questions that follow.
First lesson
Lie back,daughter let your head
Be tipped back to the cup of my hand
Gently,and I will hold you. Spread
your arms wide,lie out on the stream
And look high at the gulls
A dea-dman's-float is face down. You will dive and swim soon enough where this tidewater ebbs the sea. Daughter, believe me, when you tie on long trash to your island, lie up, and survive.
As you float now, where I held you and let go, remember when fear cramps your heart what I told you:
lie gently and wide to the light-year stars, lie back and the sea will hold you
(Philip Booth)
