Answer:

Hope as they move toward liberty

Explanation:

“Lift Every Voice and Sing,” was originally a poem written in 1900 by writer and activist James Weldon Johnson for a program to celebrate Abraham Lincoln’s birthday. It came along after Reconstruction, when a newly woken black race was searching for an identity — just as Jim Crow was substituting slavery. So powerful is the song that it is frequently referred to as the “Black National Anthem,” though its composer mentioned to it simply as a hymn.

Identify two situations where Rukmani refers to the gods and goddesses throughout the novel. What do these situations reveal abo

Digiron [165]

The central theme of Kamala Markandaya's Nectar in Sieve is the religion. Religion is presented from secular point of view amidst in all the tragic consequences family faces and in all the moral and physical pains they suffer from. Therefore, it is rather paradoxical to find that the religion has been used from positive aspect. The use of theme amidst the tragic events shows author's cynic approach towards religion. For example, when Rukmani visits her mother, the author narrates her thoughts as:

"...and together we would pray and pray before deity, imploring for help until we were giddy. But the Gods have other things to do; they cannot attend to the pleas of every suppliant who dares to raise his cares to heaven..."

Later in the novel, Rukmani describes Gods as not remote, not unheedful because they heard her son Kuti's cries and made her calm. However, it is not the praise of Gods because she later learns that Kuti's improvement was due to Ira's earning from prostitution.

. “The trial was held in Scottsboro just two weeks after the arrests, and an all-white jury quickly recommended the death penalt

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

The phrase "an all-white jury" shows how unfair and biased the justice system was during the 1930s. "Racism" was the major issue in here because the men who were convicted were not judged fairly. There was not a single African American among the juries at first. The decision of death penalty was also very quick.

Explanation:

The question above is related to the "Scottboro Boys," a group of nine African American men who were wrongly accused of raping two white women.

The system was, obviously, unfair thus, a retrial was made. This time, African Americans became part of the jury. This led to a drop of the charges, but it still represented a "failure" when it comes to the justice system long time ago.
