Answer:
One of the main points in the poem is that race doesn't mean that we are inherently different from one another. As people, we have many things (feelings, experiences) in common. However, in the cruel world we live in, race does make a difference. In a racist world that Hughes lived in (and that we still live in), people of color have had less access to education, social status, and social mobility.
Explanation:
The poem reads: "I guess being colored doesn’t make me <em>not</em> like // the same things other folks like who are other races." That is the point of intersection, where all people are alike. Then, he goes on to say to his white teacher: "As I learn from you, // I guess you learn from me— // although you’re older—and white— // and somewhat more free." This white, old, male (and presumably rich) teacher is a part of his young colored student and vice versa. <u>It's a kind of a universal feedback loop, a cycle that connects all humans without erasing their mutual differences.</u>
However, when someone belongs to a minority, the experience of having a minority role model can be very important, even formative. That is why Justyce (a character from Nic Stone's novel "Dear Martin") finds it so invigorating to have a black teacher. <u>Doc shows Justyce that it is possible to overcome all the obstacles that the society imposes on people of color.</u> Doc fully understands what being a colored teenager means; that is why he doesn't reprimand Justyce when he finds him drunk. Instead, he talks to him.
B. Giving human qualities to nonhuman objects.
It's B, cuz innate means natural, to be born with.
If it was natural for Mrs. Jones to teach then it's probably cuz her parents were teachers.
Answer: Grandpa: 60 Granddaughter: 6
Explanation: When I first saw this, I noticed you can not get one solid whole number with a number like 54, so I rounded it up to 60, because 10 percent of 60 is 6. It IS possible for someone to be 5.4, but with age, not a lot of people care to go down to the decimal point. I then checked the other part. 60 IS 54 years more than 6, so 60 is correct.
