Answer:
The narrator Lizabeth doesn't seem to be aware of the family's financial struggles nor of the Great Depression that envelops the whole nation. This is because she was just a child. Moreover, it may also be that the whole community was so used to living a life of poverty and struggle that it <em>"was no new thing"</em> for them.
Explanation:
Eugenia W. Collier's short story "Marigold" revolves around the story of a young girl Lizabeth who is the narrator of our story. The story is in the form of reminiscing about the past and how she and her friends, family, and the whole community were living during the Great Depression.
The narrator was just a young girl living a life of a carefree child, unfamiliar with the real issues and conditions of life as a black person and during the Great Depression. But it wasn't entirely like she isn't familiar with the economic crisis, but more like the black community were so used to living a life of poverty that the Depression doesn't even seem like a new thing to them. Admitting that <em>"Poverty was the cage in which we all were trapped"</em>, she also stated, <em>"The Depression that gripped the nation was no new thing to us, for the black workers of rural Maryland had always been depressed."
</em>
She also points out <em>"We children, of course, were only vaguely aware of the extent of our poverty. Having no radios, few newspapers, and no magazines, we were somewhat unaware of the world outside our community." </em>This might have been one of the reasons why she wasn't aware of the crisis, along with the fact that she was just a young, carefree girl living and enjoying her childhood.
Persona non grata from Latin- an unwelcome person.
This term is usually used in diplomacy, when due to some criminal/political actions a person is prohibited to enter a country. For example if a member of diplomatic mission is caught carrying out espionage missions he can be labeled "persona non grata", forced to leave a country and cannot return.
Persona non grata can also be used in less formal situation, when someone is not welcome in society/community due to his behavior.
Ethos I believe I am doing a course on rhetorical strategies right now
Prince Escalus appears in Acts 1 and 3 to end the duels between the families and to hand out appropriate punishments to the people who have been fighting. He is also a mechanism for the audience to know or learn specific details of the brawls that may have been missed. In both Act 1 and 3, Benvolio recounts the fights to the Prince.
Escalus gives punishments that will significantly change the fate of the characters, and, if those punishments had not been given, would significantly change the direction of the play. His ruling that anyone caught fighting again in Act 1 would be killed, makes Romeo's banishment in Act 3 necessary, thus forcing his and Juliet's actions in Acts 4 and 5.
