Answer:

Much of the poem was inspired when Jonkers witnesses a shattering event: a Black baby was shot in his mother’s arms. And she wrote: "Die kind (wat doodgeskiet is deur soldate by Nyanga)", "The child (who was shot dead by soldiers at Nyanga"). It happened in the aftermath of the massacre of 69 people in Sharpeville, south of Johannesburg, in March 1960. They were marching to the police station to protest against having to carry passbooks. Writing in Drum magazine about the poem, Jonker said: “I saw the mother as every mother in the world. I saw her as myself. I saw Simone [Jonker’s own child] as the baby. I could not sleep. I thought of what the child might have been had he been allowed to live. I thought what could be reached, what could be gained by death? The child wanted no part in the circumstances in which our country is grasped… He only wanted to play in the sun at Nyanga… [The poem] grew out of my sense of bereavement.”

Which two sentences in this excerpt from Theodore Dreiser's "My Brother Paul" are examples of characterization that suggest Paul
NemiM [27]

Answer:

  1. He found, as he often told my sister, broken horse-shoes (a "bad sign"), met cross-eyed women, another "bad sign," was pursued apparently by the inimical number thirteen—and all these little straws depressed him horribly.
  2. One day on coming back home he found one of his hats lying on his bed, accidentally put there by one of the children, and according to my sister, who was present at the time, he was all but petrified by the sight of it. To him it was the death-sign.

Explanation:

The two sentences listed above characterize Paul as a superstitious person. A superstitious person is a person who strongly believes in irrational things (for example, a belief in magic). Common superstitions include:

  • if you break a mirror, you will have bad luck for seven years
  • if a black cat crosses your path, bad luck awaits you
  • if you open an umbrella inside your house, you will have bad luck, etc.

Paul, in these sentences, is presented as someone who believes that broken-horse shoes, cross-eyed woman, number thirteen, or his hat on the bed announce that bad things will happen. All of these examples suggest that Paul is a superstitious person.
