Which best describes one theme of both "A Man Said to the Universe" and "Sympathy"?
MrRa [10]

Answer:

C. An individual's place in the world is determined by his or her environment.

Explanation:

Dunbar describes what is it like being a black male in the 1800s America in his poem Sympathy. He gives a metaphor to the caged bird and how deadly the bird wants to get out after it sees a beautiful landscape.

Stephen Crane's A Man Said to the Universe shows the significance of the existence. And this is the existence of a human-being. This human-being is an individual and the poem is about his conversation with the universe. The man wants a recognition from the universe.

The summaries show that the correct answer is the third one - an individual’s place in the world is determined by his or her environment. Indeed, in both poems individual challenging is present.

Hope this helps!

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

"Nothing is perfect. This was one of Mrs. Hopewell's favorite sayings. Another was: that is life! And still another, the most important, was: well, other people have their opinions too. "

Explanation:

Irony is a literary device used when a character, or even the narration, says the opposite of what I really believe and think. An example of this can be seen in the text shown in the question above, in the lines "Nothing is perfect. This was one of Mrs. Hopewell's favorite sayings. Another was: that is life! And still another, the most important, was: well, other people have their opinions too. "

These lines were spoken by Ms. Hopewell, this is because she says that her daughter should not care what people say or think about the mechanical leg she uses, however Ms. Hopewell herself feels sorry for her daughter and ended up saying something contrary to what I really wanted to say.
