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>

Grammer<br> how do i tell the simple past tense apart from the past continuous tense
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

The main difference between past simple and past continuous tense is that:

  • we use<u> past simple tense</u> when something happened at some time in past. We also commonly use this tense with past time adverbs (yesterday, last night, two days ago, etc.)

For example: John called his friend yesterday.

  • we use <u>past continuous tense</u> if an action occurred in the past and <u>lasted for a period of time.</u>

Example: I was reading a book all day yesterday.

We used past continuous tense because the action of reading lasted for some time (a whole day in this case).

What do Macbeth's conflicting emotions about the murder of Duncan suggest about his character?
guapka [62]

Answer: A. He is complex, with both good and bad qualities.

Macbeth's defining characteristic is his desire for power. This is his tragic flaw, and the trait that will lead to his downfall. However, Macbeth is far from just being an evil character. Although he does many immoral things, he is deeply conflicted about his acts. The fact that he finds himself feeling conflicting emotions shows that he is a very complex character, with both good and bad qualities.
