In “We Wear the Mask,” how does the poet use irony to reject the romantic notion of idealism?

1 answer:

5 0

The speaker opens the poem with the declaration that we wear masks that hide our true feelings. He goes on to emphasize the severity of the pain and suffering that these masks try to cover up ;by the end we understand that all of the politeness and subdued emotions are just phony disguises of the painful truths that hide behind them. And those masks certainly aren't doing anyone any favors.

Author’s Methods: What claims does Jefferson make about governments? How do these claims impact his argument?

lianna [129]

In the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson claims that Governments are instituted among men to secure their God-given unalienable rights, with the consent of the governed. When a government becomes destructive to this, it is the right and duty of men to take it down and establish a new one that fulfill the mentioned purpose.

These claims impact his overall argument because he is trying to prove that the English government of the thirteen colonies doesn't fulfill its duties anymore, so they are entitled to break away from it.

Which sentence uses a colon correctly?

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

Jacinda went to Comic Con in hopes of meeting all her favorite heroes: Dr. Who, The Green Arrow, The Black Canary, and Supergirl.

Explanation:

A colon (:) is used to introduce or announce a phrase, quotation, or even list a noun or a number of elements. In other words, a colon is used to separate two independent clauses where the second explains the first.

In the given sentence, the correct usage of the colon is in sentence 4. This is because the colon is used to list the "favorite heroes" of Jacinda. And to list the four heroes, the colon introduces and lists them, with a period in between.

Thus, the correct answer is

<u><em>Jacinda went to Comic-Con in hopes of meeting all her favorite heroes: Dr. Who, The Green Arrow, The Black Canary, and Supergirl.</em></u>
