Answer:
For me, the hardest part of writing is finding the words to match what I am thinking. Often times I find myself staring at a blank page trying to display my goal in what I am writing while still making it my own. Usually, I write the best when I am passionate about the topic of my work. This helps me feel good about what I am writing, find the words a bit easier, and write more because I am knowledgeable about said topic.
A few of the steps I take to writing something good are reviewing what I know about what I am writing about, making a rough draft and going over it, and taking my time to figure out what I can improve on as I go along. As far as helping a struggling writer, I could find out what is blocking them when they are writing. If they are finding it difficult to set up their paragraphs then I would guide them through that. If they are struggling with something like not being able to relate to what they are writing or not connecting to it then I would suggest they do more research and/or think about little things in their life that could connect to said topic.
Hope this helps hun!

Answer:
The notion of the phoenix probably means that love gives her hope for a change or better life. The phoenix symbolizes being recreated or reborn.
Explanation:
It is likely the author means that women often feel like love is their escape or that once they find a husband they can be reborn from having to succumb always to the wills of men in her life. A phoenix is a mythological bird that is reborn again after burning, emerging from the ashes as reborn. Love gives them hope for a time but then the "disturbed rest" and "painful signs" suggest that she suffers because of love as well. The entire poem laments the position of women at that time which was conceived as normally controlled by and subservient to men.
Jacks Agueros's “'Agua Viva,' A Sculpture by Alfred Gonzalez" tells the story of Filthy Fredo, a hermit that collects scrap iron to build creations in his workshop. Filthy Fredo, is mentally unstable, hasn't shave or take a bath in five years, and the only human interaction that he had during the story is with some neighborhood boys which resulted to be violent at first glance. The author uses iron as a metaphor to Fredo's obsessive world, which is impenetrable as the iron creations that he builds for defense against the real world. One excerpt of the story that implies this conclusion is "His house had become the lair of the iron woodchuck, the hive of the iron bee, the storeroom of the iron squirrel, the complex of chambers of the iron ant". The iron served as the metaphoric armor of Fredo, and the only thing he enjoyed to do as a hermit. However, he eventually had to deal with the consequences of the life he decided to live and his inevitable return to society.
