The correct answer is C. Concerning with appearances.

In this play by Alice Childress, the action takes place in a picnic of the neighbourhood block association. The appearance of Joe, a poor, homeless character disrupts the scene, and when a wallet dissapears, suspiction falls on him and they begin to harass Joe.

Even though the play deals with middle-class Blacks accusing a working class Black, the sentence in this case deals with keeping the appearances and respectability associated with middle-class expectations. In the context of these sentence, some of the characters, especially L. V. Craig are already harassin Joe, judging that because he is poor he must have stolen something. Maydelle is the character that keeps saying that kindness goes a long way and trying to de-escalate the situation. Even if they are misjudging Joe and picking on him, with this sentence she is more worried of Doctor MacDonald or the children hearing them loose their temper than with stopping the situation with Joe.

Anna11 [10]
In this quote, Representative Barbara Jordan of Texas was addressing the <span>1976 Democratic National Convention. She starts by stating how the fact that she is the keynote speaker of the convention serves as evidence for the importance of following one's dreams even when they might seem impossible. She then states that many people fear the future and don't trust their leaders, and just look for personal gain. Then, she states how this poses a danger for the country as it can lead to an extreme segmentation of the country. To support her argument she appeals to fear by portraying a future where everyone is against everyone in the search for their own benefit.

Therefore, your best answer is Appeal to fear.</span>

Answer:

Ok here are my answers...

Explanation:

I would say whatever challenge they have physically or mentally, or what they have to overcome during the story.

It can be internal mostly, because it is something mentally to overcome. External would be Man vs. Man, Man vs. Nature, or maybe Man vs. Society.

The conflict would be when things start to go awry or be more interesting. The sensory details could commit some more drama to the conflict depending on what the conflict is.

I hope this helps. I did not see the narratives that you were talking about, but I did my best. :)
