Question

1. How does the phrase "caressing his cheeks with her /

porcelain doll fingers" contribute to the depiction of people

in New Carolina City (Lines 10-11)?

Answer 1

The adjectives porcelain doll

Step-by-step explanation:

Porcelain dolls are dolls wholly or partially made out of bisque porcelain, a type of porcelain that is unglazed and matte. Porcelain doll can symbolize youth, girlishness and timidity. In this phrase I tend to think more of the underlaying suggestion - that I might be imagening - that her porcelain doll fingers (her hands) are not accustomed to any kind of work that could ruin her beautiful hands.
