English
1 answer:
slamgirl [31]3 years ago

Answer:

He starts to compare how the perception of race is different for those who were raised in classes that did not have people of "races" other than his own, with those who were raised in places with people of different "races"

Explanation:

Donley begins to argue in his text, about how the perception of concepts and race one has about it are different from the environment in which a person l was raised and from the people with whom that person has contact.

Also, it shows how this perception impact people's thoughts about what it means to be part to each race and this meaning determine a standard, a stereotype related to citizens, the place where they live and the people around them.

Donley does this, through methods of juxtapositions and comparisons whose main priority is to show the reader a certain duality by reasoning in this matter in a profound way. This is seen in the excerpt:

In fact, my childhood was like a social science experiment: Find out what being middle class truly is by raising a kid from a so-called good family in a so called bad neighborhood. with a definition of whiteness by putting a light skinned kid in the midst of a community of color. If the anomaly provides the rule, I am that exception.

Read the following passage and answer the question. The general told Rainsford that he should take a knife, that he should wear
Inessa05 [86]

The phrase which must be revised to create parallel structure is, 'To not walk near the quicksand.'

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

Parallel structure is a literary device which is often used by writers and poets to create a smooth flow in writing. In parallel structure, same pattern of words are being used to indicate that all the ideas contains the same level of importance.

In the sentence, ‘The general told Rainsford that he should take a knife, that he should wear moccasins, and to not walk near the quicksand’ if we rephrase the last line after conjunction, then the sentence will become a parallel structure.

‘To not walk near the quicksand’ should be rephrased as ‘that he should not walk near the quicksand.’ So the sentence would be ‘The general told Rainsford that he should take a knife, that he should wear moccasins, and that he should not walk near the quicksand.’

point of view.  

The character is telling the story from their point of view.  This means that you are seeing the story through their eyes.  If it was through another character's point of view, the events may look differently based on their feelings.
