What event caused tesion between walter and ruth act 1 scene 1

English
1 answer:
beks73 [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Can we take a moment to bask in the joy of how well-written A Raisin in the Sun is... Ok, moment over!

From act 1 scene 1, it's very clear that this family has issues simmering beneath the surface. The question shouldn't be what caused tension, it should be what <em>doesn't </em>cause tension, because Walter and Ruth argue about a large number of things. It's not a happy marriage, it seems.

When Ruth accuses Walter of keeping their son up by talking late at night, he complains, "That's what you mad about, ain’t it? The things I  want to talk about with my friends just couldn’t be  important in your mind, could they?"

The main issue between them, though, is money. It's underlying everything they argue about - Walter's association with Willy, Travis' ask for the 50 cents, Walter's late-night discussions with his "friends."

Alika [10]

Answer: I would contend that the right answer is actually "to fake."

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that one of the meanings of the verb to affect is to feign, which can be translated as to pretend or to give a false appearance of something. If the character was trying to "conceal certain inconvenient emotions" which, nevertheless, "seemed inclined to assert themselves" by affecting high spirits, he was, therefore, faking those high spirits, in order to hide his true feelings from the people who had just arrived.

What do you think of this quote by Leo Killsback, a citizen of the Northern Cheyenne Nation?
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

I agree.

Explanation:

Indigenous Peoples Day is used to celebrate the values of equality, prosperity, respect for land and respect for life, which indigenous people actually implement in their communities and respect as part of their cultures. Although many of these values are adopted as American values, we know that in practice they are not so present in the population and are not even celebrated, in fact, as indigenous people do. So yes, we can agree with the quote from Leo Killsback.

The day of indigenous peoples is also held to remember European violence and the attempt to exploit them, enslave and suppress them.
