English

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.

How to introduce characters in a story
ki77a [65]

One of the biggest bugaboos in manuscript submissions is when the author doesn’t properly introduce the protagonist within the first chapter. Readers want to know quickly the protagonist’s, age and level of sophistication in the world of the story, and they want to relate to the character on an emotional level. Readers’ interest in the protagonist has to be earned, in other words.

If we like a character, then we want to see her do well and we’re willing to follow her around and invest our time and interest in rooting her on in her struggle. But it’s important we know some essentials about the character so we can get to like her. The trick is to avoid stand-alone description or exposition and to instead show your character in action.

What was the author trying to say about the nature of romanticism versus reality in ""an occurrence at owl creek bridge""?
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer and Explanation:

I believe the author, Ambrose Bierce, used the surprising ending of his short story "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" to indirectly criticize romanticism. Romanticism is characterized by idealization of people, especially women, as well a the supernatural interfering in people's lives - among other characteristics. At first, that seems to be the path Bierce has taken with this story. When the main character, Peyton Farquhar, is about to be hanged, the noose of the rope breaks, and he escapes. He begins to swim and later walk back home, so far indicating an ideal ending based on luck and chance.

However, a more attentive reader already begins to notice something strange about all this. Not only is Peyton having alarming symptoms all over his body, but going back home would not be a clever alternative. The soldiers could very well follow him home and kill him there. It turns out that Peyton has never escaped. The noose breaking, his returning home and meeting with his lovely wife, all of it was just a brief hallucination. He dies hanging from the bridge. There is no romantic ending to this story, but a more realistic - and crude - one.
