Answer:

Baldwin talks of a "disease" which afflicts black Americans and can wreck race relations and creating a "rage in the blood" so he is using the "disease" as a metaphor for probably the rage that black Americans have for experiencing the inequalities of life in the US especially in the 1960's when the civil rights movement was so strong and segregation was so strongly practiced in the South still.

According to a different source, the essay this question refers to is the essay "If Black English Isn't a Language, Then Tell Me, What Is?” by James Baldwin.

In this essay, Baldwin discusses the way of speaking that Black people have developed in America, and he suggests that this should be considered a language in its own right. These are three statements that reflect the main points of Baldwin's text:

1. Black English is not considered a language because Black people in America are ignored and considered to be less important than white people:

<em>"The brutal truth is that the bulk of white people in American never had any interest in educating black people, except as this could serve white purposes. It is not the black child's language that is in question, it is not his language that is despised: It is his experience."</em>

2. People who speak the same language can usually understand each other, but they will sound different enough for people to assume that they come from somewhere else and that they have had different experiences in life:

<em>"A Frenchman living in Paris speaks a subtly and crucially different language from that of the man living in Marseilles; neither sounds very much like a man living in Quebec; and they would all have great difficulty in apprehending what the man from Guadeloupe, or Martinique, is saying, to say nothing of the man from Senegal--although the "common" language of all these areas is French."</em>

3. Language is not neutral. It can be used as a political tool:

<em>"It goes without saying, then, that language is also a political instrument, means, and proof of power."</em>

Were Romeo and Juliet really in love?
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

Even though theirs is a violent love, Romeo and Juliet are, indeed, truly in love because they risk their lives for this love, and they commit themselves to certain acts. Romantic love is the theme of Shakespeare's play

Explanation:

Meeting Juliet and finding that she is amenable to his advances helps him to move on from Rosaline. On the other hand, Juliet loves Romeo because she feels pressure from her parents to marry. They have an instant attraction, and when a person is young and impressionable, this is sometimes all it takes to spark love.

In "Sympathy" Paul Laurence Dunbar uses the image of a bird in a cage to suggest
azamat

Answer:

Restricted movement

Explanation:

In the poem Sympathy by Paul Laurence Dunbar, the image of a bird in a cage suggest restricted freedom.

The caged bird has wings to fly just like every other bird but it couldn't because its movement has been restricted.

Sympathy is a poem by Paul Laurence Dunbar

I know what the caged bird feels, alas!

When the sun is bright on the upland slopes;

When the wind stirs soft through the springing grass,

And the river flows like a stream of glass;

When the first bird sings and the first bud opes,

And the faint perfume from its chalice steals—

I know what the caged bird feels!

I know why the caged bird beats his wing

Till its blood is red on the cruel bars;

For he must fly back to his perch and cling

When he fain would be on the bough a-swing;

And a pain still throbs in the old, old scars

And they pulse again with a keener sting—

I know why he beats his wing!

I know why the caged bird sings, ah me,

When his wing is bruised and his bosom sore,—

When he beats his bars and he would be free;

It is not a carol of joy or glee,

But a prayer that he sends from his heart’s deep core,

But a plea, that upward to Heaven he flings—

I know why the caged bird sings!
