Answer 1

The author of the poem 'Marin' is passive and dependent on external events.

Step-by-step explanation:

The phrase from the poem 'Marin' - 'Is waiting for a car to stop, a star to fall, someone to change her life' suggests that the author is passive and dependent on external events. The author is waiting for something or someone outside of herself to bring about a change in her life.
