In the poem "Relations" by Mayli Vang (published in 2000), the speaker describes her family. Read the poem carefully. Write a paragraph in which you make a defensible claim regarding how Vang uses contrasts to convey the complex relationships among the members of the speaker's family. In your paragraph, you should incorporate at least one piece of evidence from the text to support your claim.

i think Vang is trying to show all the different and varying methods people use to cope and this poem does well of showing this. all the methods contrast each other in some way. some grieving methods are beneficial while some are just used to take the pain away and are used as a distraction. for example, mom sews, brother left and gets in trouble, an sister cooks. as for the main character he puts his full focus into his grades which is extremely good.
