Excerpt from Wichita Mourning

David Matherne

Sally Richards—broken and mourning—
Watched while her father left, 10
As painters brought in their cans
For the first time.

Stained-glass windows—buckled and broken—
Surveyed commotion’s cause
As commerce won in the end 15
Yet one more time.

Answer:

B) it told one person's emotional memory of a church's destruction.

Step-by-step explanation:

reason: a memoir is not a poem and it does not use rhyme, meter, imagery, or figurative language, told in 3rd person perspective. It is told through a 1st hand account of something that is personal.
