How does the rhyme scheme of the poem contribute to the tone?

Minchanka [31]

In traditional poetry, a regular rhyme aids the memory for recitation and gives predictable pleasure. A pattern of rhyme, called a scheme, also helps establish the form. ... In modern free verse, rhyme breaks the pattern and adds unpredictable spice, giving special emphasis to the lines that rhyme.

Match each quotation from "The People Could Fly" with the correct historical fact on the right. They say that the children of th

UNO [17]

Answer:

They say that the children of the ones who could not fly told their children. - Enslaved African Americans passed down their heritage through stories.

They couldn't take their wings across the water on the slave ships. - Enslaved people were crowded onto ships and sent overseas.

Sarah couldn't stand up straight any longer. She was too weak. - Enslaved workers were forced to work all day in cotton fields.

Say they flew away to Free-dom, - Many enslaved people ran away from plantations and fled north to freedom.

Explanation:

Virginia Hamilton's "The People Could Fly" is a collection of African folktales that enslaved Africans hold and pass it to their children. These African folktales include tales of supernatural acts, fairy tales, animal tales, etc.

The correct quotation along with the corresponding historical facts are as follows-

1. They say that the children of the ones who could not fly told their children. - Enslaved African Americans passed down their heritage through stories.

Through the passing of the stories by those unable to "fly away", stories became the means of passing down their heritage to the future younger generations.

2. They couldn't take their wings across the water on the slave ships. - Enslaved people were crowded onto ships and sent overseas.

The image of the people unable to use their wings across the water shows the historical event where slaves were brought by ships and then sent overseas, far from their homes.

3. Sarah couldn't stand up straight any longer. She was too weak. - Enslaved workers were forced to work all day in cotton fields.

The picture of Sarah unable to stand up straight shows how the slaves were made to work till they physically can no longer stand straight and have become extremely weak.

4. Say they flew away to Free-dom, - Many enslaved people ran away from plantations and fled north to freedom.

The image of flying to "freedom" shows the flight of many slaves escaping from their masters, from the plantations to the North where slaves were free.

Blizzard [7]

The correct answer is C.

These lines are an example of enjambment. We can tell this because the sentence does not end with the line of poetry but instead carries over to the next lines.

This is not example of a metaphor because the comparison uses the word "like." This selection, then, illustrates both enjambment and simile.

How do our attitudes and beliefs influence our thinking?

Klio2033 [76]

We are all diverse in our on way, whether its from our from our gender, beliefs or skin color. although we are different we are still the same in some ways. if we have a nasty attitude towards each other we will be treated badly as well because what goes around comes around. if we belief in something and if someone says something wrong about it we can stand up but fighting is just showing an attitude. for ex when ISS attacked Muslims didn't like how some people said all Muslims are ISS some o them stood up with sharing their knowledge but some got violent. our identity does influence how people see us and how we see our selves. if we are identified kindly then everyone would want to be friends with us and even we think we are nice kind and stay in a happy mood. but if we act nasty and then people hate us and then we hate ourselves and might even think about killing our selves. Hooped this helped.
