Read this excerpt from I Never Had It Made. Here we go again, I thought. Another time-wasting experience. But Sukeforth looked l

ike a sincere person, and I thought I might as well listen. I agreed to meet him that night. When we met, Sukeforth got right to the point. Mr. Rickey wanted to talk to me about the possibility of becoming a Brown Dodger. If I could get a few days off and go to Brooklyn, my fare and expenses would be paid. At first I said that I couldn't leave my team and go to Brooklyn just like that. Sukeforth wouldn't take no for an answer. He pointed out that I couldn't play for a few days anyhow because of my bum arm. Why should my team object? I continued to hold out and demanded to know what would happen if the Monarchs fired me. The Dodger scout replied quietly that he didn't believe that would happen. I shrugged and said I'd make the trip. I figured I had nothing to lose. Which statement best summarizes this excerpt? Although Robinson is skeptical, Sukeforth convinces him to travel to Brooklyn to meet Rickey. Although Robinson is injured, Sukeforth convinces him he should play for the Dodgers. After Robinson hurts his arm, he takes a trip to Brooklyn to explain his injuries to Rickey. After Robinson meets Sukeforth, he expresses concerns about his job security with the Monarchs.

What can most likely be inferred about an artist when analyzing his or her per trail of heroes in a work of art
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

Classical decomposition requires the study of the space the art takes place in, the color composition if applicable, the lines and flow of the work, the technique used, and the emotion and intellectual response it evokes. The space in which the art takes place could be the phsyical setting, the division of space in the work itself (common in paintings) and how it interacts with the space (negative vs. positive space.) The color composition is important in how the colors chosen relate to the work (or the lack there of). The lines and flow of the work tend to pertain more to visual works but anyone that has evaluated the artwork in automotive design know full well the importance of lines in the work. The technique is important especially in phsyical artwork such as sculpture and relief painting. This is also crucial in multimedia work and abstract sculpture. The last part, largely subjective, is what the work solicits from the viewer. Art without emotion could be argued ... isn't art. Andy Worhol explored this idea with pop art (cambell soup can anyone?) on what is the nature of art. Art is either everywhere (in your spoon, fork, stapler, etc.) or some rare thing (a painting by Raphel verus the macroni happy face the 4 year old did) and if it is a rare thing then what does the art have to convey? What elevates art from engineering then? This last part is solely the responsibility of the critic rather then the artist. An artist always sees their art as art, but what prompts the view to consider it art and what steps does the work take to make a believer out of the viewer.

Why has Jojo started calling his biological parents by their first names, Leonie and Michael? What do you notice about his relat
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Jojo calls his parents by their first names for he feels that they are neglectful parents and did not seem to care for him and his baby sister. Moreover, he feels more connected and cares for his maternal grandparents who seem to be the primary carers of the two.

His relationship with his parents seems to be a strained one, for while the mother is busy working and doing drugs, the father is in prison. And Jojo is more like a parent to his sister. He also feels closer to Pop and Mam.

Explanation:

The novel <em>Sing, Unburied, Sing,</em> written by Jesmyn Ward, tells the story of Joseph "Jojo" who lives with his black grandparents and has a strained relationship with his parents and his paternal grandparents. The story deals with the themes of family and the hope and struggle, especially in the young teenage boy's life.

Jojo loved his Pop and Mam, his black grandparents but called his own biological parents by their first names. This is not always the case. But he started calling them after they changed, with his mother Leonie getting into drugs and alcohol while his father Michael getting into trouble and kept in prison. He used to call them Mama and Pop but <em>"that was when there was more good than bad"</em>. Now, they have changed which led to him calling them by their real first names.

His relationship with his biological parents seems to be a strained one. Leonie always is either drunk or working, into drugs with her <em>"only friend" </em>Misty while Michael gets involved with bad things and ended up in prison. Added to that, his namesake Big Joseph, his paternal grandfather was a white racist man who would not even acknowledge his grandchildren. So, he has only his Pop and Mam to feel for, and who he also deeply respects and loves. He also states that he basically is the parent of her three-year-old baby sister Kayla. Leonie also seems to be deeply traumatized by the death of her brother Given that she turns into a neglectful mother to her children.
