If it is true that land does not belong to anyone until they have buried a body in it, then the land of my birthplace belongs to

me, dozens of times over. Yet the history of my family, like that of all black Southerners, is a history of dispossession. We loved the land and worked the land, but we never owned it; and even if we bought land, as my great-grandfather did after the Civil War, it was always in danger of being taken away, as his was, during the period following Reconstruction.
Which sentence explains how the use of ethos affects the meaning of the text?

a)By describing her family’s connection to the land, Walker shows that they had a right to claim it as theirs.
b)Walker mentions the Civil War and Reconstruction to show her knowledge of history.
c)Walker discusses the role of her great-grandfather to prove how connected her family is.
d)By discussing the work put into the land, Walker shows why other people wanted to take away the land.

The sentence that explains how the use of ethos affects the meaning of the text is:

  • b) Walker mentions the Civil War and Reconstruction to show her knowledge of history.

<h3>What is Ethos?</h3>

Ethos refers to a speaker's credibility in speaking on a subject matter. The speaker in the text above demonstrated credibility by virtue of her historical knowledge.

She knew how her great grand father's land was taken because he was black. So, she could speak about the injustice meted on the blacks.

Which lines from "Poetry" best indicate that the poet believes that poetry should express authentic thoughts, feelings, and idea
k0ka [10]

Answer:

“imaginary gardens with real toads in them,”“literalists of

the imagination”, "When they become so derivative as to become  unintelligible", to discriminate against “business documents and  school-books”

Explanation:

This verse is one poetic picture where we can imagine a beautiful garden with flowers and trees and among them toads. There is a metaphoric picture where we can see the opposition between what we imagine when we read the garden and what the writer wrote in this verse. Authentic thought is to put something which people connected with ugly and not to put with something beautiful. The writer shows us how to be innovative and also tell people who criticized his poetry that he is full of imagination and new ideas.

Also one of the ideas in this poem is that poets can be a prisoner of imagination(“literalists of the imagination”)  which means that they can not always write about the imagination, they should include in their poetry reality. They should try to write verses and rewrite verses if is necessary, not just to rhyme verses.

The poetry should express authentic ideas which are explained in verse "When they become so derivative as to become unintelligible". He criticized poets who want to show all the beauty of their poetry and all their skills so their verses are unintelligible.

The poetry can not express feelings when business documents and school books are the subjects. There are important for life, and poetry is here to explains and evokes life.
