Feisya, these all sound like interesting questions, but I don't have a copy of and haven't read the Vivante story you refer to. Maybe some Emulers have done so and can help you.

You may not have realized that this forum is for assistance with poetry homework. We do sometimes stray into other areas, when teachers ask their students to relate particular poems to other forms of writing or to art works. Does that apply to you in this case?
