In "We Wear the Mask," people suffer because life is painful and people hide their pain from the world. Dunbar writes the "clay is vile" beneath their feet, implying life on earth is hard and difficult. They do not change their situations because they cannot -- it is implied that to live is to suffer. In the poem these people appeal to Christ to save them. 

In "Sympathy," the bird suffers because it is caged. It sees the beauty of the world around it but it cannot participate in it. The bird cannot change its situation because it is literally imprisoned. The caged bird appeals in its pain to Heaven, hoping God will relive its suffering.

Which of these sets of words impact tone in this passage? see passage below
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

D) reading, ideal, implement

Explanation:

The passage talks about the reading culture of a young boy named Randall which was greatly inhibited by the fact that his teachers introduced a lot of old books for them to read, and which he and other students could not really relate to. His perception of what was ideal was a mixture of both old and new books which would create a sort of balance and make reading more enjoyable.

He proposed the idea to his teachers and they promised to implement it. These three keywords: reading, ideal, implement, set the tone of the passage.
