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>

Answer:

A good summary of an essay should probably include the main idea of each paragraph, and the main evidence supporting that idea, unless it is not relevant to the article or essay as a whole. A summary does not need a conclusion, but if the original ends with a message to the reader this should not be left out.

Read this passage from mary shelley's frankenstein:as the day was fair, and the wind favorable, we resolved to go by water. . .
Goryan [66]

Answer:

The best option is: "b. as an alluring display".

Explanation:

Although letter "a" is a possible answer, it is not correct to state that because Nature is not a piece-giving gift for the characters in this passage, as they are more close to admire the beauty of the scene rather than feeling that inside of their own senses. Letter "c" is not possible because the characters are not "detached observers", they are living and going through Nature very close. Letter "d" does not make sense as an answer because Nature is not portrayed as bothersome, it is the contrary. Therefore, letter "b" is the best option for it presents the natural environment as an alluring and enchanting display, as almost a cool painting.
