English

Answer:

The description of Casey's changed attitude continues at the beginning of stanza 12. That "smile of Christian charity". Now his "teeth are clinched in hate." Casey has gone from a dependable, athlete, to the disparity of the team's success. The lines, "Oh, somewhere in this favoured land the sun is shining bright, / The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light; / And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout, / But there is no joy in Mudville—mighty Casey has struck out." have a contrast between the shining sun and laughter, to Casey striking 3 balls out. The stanzas contribute to the theme that too much pride can lead to failure, or that one shouldn't depend on overconfidence.

Bonita and her grandmother completely change the meaning of the story, which shifts and focuses on the kindness, resilience, and patience of both parties. This is a shift from the unfairness and cruelty of the world that we live in. The story tries to show that sometimes, people experience a cruel society in which they are kind to people.

<h3>How to explain the story?</h3>

Bonita's relationship with her grandmother is the one great love, she loves her grandma so much. Bonita's relationship with her mother is largely one of conflict because of their many differences, but it is not a strained relationship, for even after her mother slaps her for her blasphemous talk, Bonita later hugs and thanks to her mother for understanding her dismissal of George.

The major conflict is that the Youngers, a working-class Black family, struggle against economic hardship and racial prejudice. The rising action is that Ruth discovers that she is pregnant; Mama makes a down payment on a house; Mama gives Walter the remaining insurance money; Walter invests the money in the liquor store venture.

The setting of the story is between 1945 and 1959 on The South Side of Chicago. A Raisin in the Sun is written in the third-person omniscient point of view as the play is not restricted to a single character’s perspective.

in the tell-tale heart do you think the narrator would have killed the old man if he did not have an "evil eye"​
victus00 [196]
No the narrator probably wouldn’t have killed the old man. when the narrator snuck into the old mans room late at night the old man was always asleep so the narrator couldn’t see his eye which don’t bother the narrator. The narrator even said he loved the old man it was just his “evil eye” bothering him
