A. her academic strengths.
B. her loyalty to friends.
C. her community involvement.
D. her spiritual devotion.
Answer:
What the characterization of Arnetta reveals is:
C. her community involvement.
Explanation:
The excerpt we are analyzing here was taken from the book "We've Got a Job: The 1963 Children's March", by Cynthia Levinson.
The purpose of the passage is to give us information about Arnetta Streeter, one of the participants in the famous march against segregation and discrimination that took place in 1963. Even though the author mentions where Arnetta attended school, the focus is not on her academic strengths or achievements.
<u>What the author shows is that Arnetta was always concerned about the community in which she was inserted. Her community involvement is exemplified by her participation is a club that volunteered to help younger students and that saved their money to give to needy families. Arnetta was clearly worried about improving others' lives.</u>
Lewis call Dickinson as existential type of pioneer.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Gwyneth Lewis called Emily Dickinson as an Existential Pioneer because Emily believed to make decision on her own and her poem also surrounds about taking own decisions without consulting anyone from outside world. She does not take opinions from people on Religion or Decision.
She had her own way of doing it and it shows why her poem was not famous and why she avoided being famous through her writings. She made sure her words are simple and reach a lot of people stated Lewis on Emily.
