kow [346]4 years ago
3 0

In the autobiographical novel “<em>I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings</em>” by Maya Angelou (1969), the author has used the stylistic device called <u>alliteration</u>. Alliteration is used when a number of words, having the same first consonant sound, occur close together in a series. The purpose of using this stylistic device is <u>to focus</u> on word sounds to further develop a picture, emotion, or sound. A clear example of the use of alliteration and its purpose in this passage is the following phrase “<em>If the morning </em><em>s</em><em>ounds and </em><em>s</em><em>mells were touched with the </em><em>s</em><em>upernatural…</em>” (the repetition of /s/ sound). Here, <u>alliteration</u> focuses on words related to the senses (<em>sounds, smells, supernatural</em>) to describe “<em>the late afternoon</em>”.

In at least 150 words, discuss the developmental phases of the main argument in "The Negro Artist and
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

In his essay "The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain," poet Langston Hughes interprets the statement of a young African-American poet that, "I want to be a poet—not a Negro poet," to mean, "I want to write like a white poet"; this suggests he was really expressing a subconscious desire to be white.  Hughes goes on to argue that this apparent aspiration to bourgeois gentility, as embodied by the dominant Caucasian society, and the psychological cost that adherence to its constraints on creative freedom implies, is terribly damaging to the quality of the creative work and to the spiritual integrity of any African American artist who would embrace it. And it only adds insult to injury that not only does white society pressure African American artists to conform to its standards, but his own people often share the same attitude: "Oh, be respectable, write about nice people, show how good we are, . . . "

In the story the exercise what might it mean that Kevin feels caught between two diferent fathers
ch4aika [34]

The word father in the story has two meanings. First, it implies the love and protection of his biological father. Kevin’s father is a cheerful man who is always willing to help his son and provides a warm and loving home. Kevin’s teacher, on the other hand, is a cold man who ridicules Kevin. The author uses these two “fathers” to develop the theme of fatherly love in the story. Father Waldo represents discipline, restrictions, and strict social hierarchy. At school Kevin is encouraged to be ashamed of his father because of his lack of education and job as a barman. Ironically it’s his father and family who encourage him to value his education:

“We never got the chance,” his mother would say to him. “It wouldn’t have done me much good but your father could have bettered himself. He’d be teaching or something now instead of serving behind a bar. He could stand up with the best of them.”

Thus the author is setting up a choice for Kevin to make. He can choose to reject his roots and embrace the social order of the school or cling to his place as a member of the family. Kevin makes his choice in the end, when he lies to his father to protect him from the shame of not having the correct answers.
