Read paragraph 5 from Chapter 1 of I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou and answer the question. The town reacted to

us [Angelou and her brother Bailey] as its inhabitants had reacted to all things new before our coming. It regarded us a while without curiosity but with caution, and after we were seen to be harmless (and children) it closed in around us, as a real mother embraces a stranger’s child. Warmly, but not too familiarly. What words in the above excerpt demonstrate a humorous or lighthearted tone?

This excerpt could be considered humorous because of the way in which the events are retell and because of the choice of words. their arrival is portrayed in such a way that the reader might think, it could have a deeper meaning. For example
"<span>It regarded us a while without curiosity but with caution, and after we were seen to be harmless" This might be understood as a fun way of expressing that people were all over them, to check who they were, they pay close attention to these "new people" until they were convinced they are fine. </span>

HELPPP What does this speech reveal about the reason for Hamlet's attitude toward Claudius and his mother? does he resolve to do
MrMuchimi

Answer:

Hamlet Act 1 Scene 2

This speech reveals that Hamlet abhorred his uncle and mother's marriage immediately after the death of his father.  They could not even pay some respects to the dead by waiting some time before marrying.  In his heart, he questioned the reason for the hurry.

Though he could not clearly form the reason for the hurried marriage, he suspected that Claudius and his mother married so quickly to close the done deal of active participation in the murder of his father.

Explanation:

The Tragedy of Hamlet is a play authored by William Shakespeare (1599 and 1601). As Shakespeare's longest play, it was written to highlight the painfulness and misery of human life in the face of doubt and uncertainty.  Hamlet teaches us that acting shamefully only leads to more shame and regret.

dimulka [17.4K]

In Thomas Gray's "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard" the speaker imagines that the people buried there were once humble and unknown villagers, whose lives might have been full of rich promises. However, the speaker suggests that, in the end, the rich and the poor are alike: "And all that beauty, all that wealth e'er gave, Awaits alike th' inevitable hour. The paths of glory lead but to the grave."
