A. The speaker has a desire to control natural forcesExplanation:Line 1 says: "West Wind, blow from your prairie nest," This reveals that the speaker is desiring to have control over the wind (nature) by commanding it to blow from its prairie nest. When we command something, we tend to show our control or our desire to control that thing. "My Paddle Sings" is a poem written by a Canadian poet, performer and author, Emily Pauline Johnson. The poem brings the reader along a journey; as the speaker paddles down the river in a canoe. The poem uses alliteration, making it rythmic and somewhat musical.
