"Sounder" is a young adult novel by William H. Armstrong and was published in 1969. This story is about an African-American boy living with his sharecropper family. Although the family's difficulties increase when the father is imprisoned for stealing a ham from work, the boy still hungers for an education. His father is taken to prison for this.  <span>In an effort to protect his master, the family's coon dog Sounder races after the deputies taking his master away, and one of the deputies shoots the dog. For months, the boy thinks that he has lost both his father and his dog, but then Sounder reappears, though he is quite different and voiceless. Missing his father, the boy searches for him, and on one of his journeys, he is befriended by a schoolteacher who offers him the opportunity to live in his house and attend school. Later though, an unfortunate event happens when his father comes home after years.</span>

What makes Kennedy stand out over Nixon?
lapo4ka [179]

What made Kennedy stand out was his use of a striking black suit.

<h3>Why was Kennedy's outfit important?</h3>
  • Because he gave an air of authority to the public.
  • Because it made his image more striking and expressive than Nixon's.
  • Because it attracts the attention of the public.

The question is referring to the debate held between Nixon and Kennedy during the presidential race in 1960. The debate was televised and photographed, allowing the entire American population to see and hear the two candidates. However, color media was not popular at the time and people viewed the debate and its participants in black and white.

This was advantageous for Kennedy who wore a black suit, while Nixon wore a gray suit. This made Kennedy's image stand out and catch the public's attention more effectively.

Is there a serious deeper message in Forster's essay, a point Forster tries to make? If so, what is it? Does he do this in an ef
vfiekz [6]

There is a deeper message in Forster's essay.

Forster, in his essay titled "The woods" reveals the effects of properties on their owners. He explains how properties require a lot from their owners, they serve as burdens to their owners and yet the owners keep wanting more.

Yes, he effectively expresses his opinions in clear terms that can be well understood by the readers.

I get curious and find it exciting to own properties, but as soon as I own them, they tend to take much of my attention than necessary just as Forster claimed. The importance of owing things despite this supposed shortcoming  cannot be overemphasized.
