The images “red wheelbarrow” and “white chickens” carry different but multiple meanings in the poem “The Red Wheelbarrow”. What are the functions of them?

A. The wheelbarrow stands still without life, and it is static, while chickens are living things, running for shelter from rain, so they are dynamic.
B. Red is the color of anger, probably suggesting the farmer’s hatred for the inhuman life, and white implies death, probably suggesting there is no hope.
C. With the animate juxtaposed with the inanimate, and the white color in contrast with the red, here we have in our minds’ eye meaningful textures and clear, delightful colors.
D. Both of them are small, insignificant but beautiful things which enlighten us that beauty lies in the ordinary life, so the return to an ordinary and a daily life is the return to normality and to a restoration of life.
