Who led Harburg to write the song brother can you spare a dime

English
1 answer:
Anna007 [38]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

In the song, a beggar talks back to the system that stole his job.[3] Gorney said in an interview in 1974, "I didn't want a song to depress people. I wanted to write a song to make people think. It isn't a hand-me-out song of 'give me a dime, I'm starving, I'm bitter', it wasn't that kind of sentimentality".[7] The song asks why the men who built the nation – built the railroads, built the skyscrapers – who fought in the war (World War I), who tilled the earth, who did what their nation asked of them should, now that the work is done and their labor no longer necessary, find themselves abandoned and in bread lines. Asking for an act of charity, the singer requests a dime (equivalent to $1.53 in 2019).

Explanation: PLEASE BRAINLIEST, ME!

What does the oxymoron "weirdly normal" mean in the sentence?
Solnce55 [7]

Answer: A

Explanation:

"Reality is weirdly normal." It's "normal" in odd ways, by strange means, in surprising senses.

At the risk of vivisecting poetry, and maybe of stating the obvious, I'll point out that the maxims mean different things by "normal". In the first two, what's "normal" or "usual" is the universe taken on its own terms — the cosmos as it sees itself, or as an ideally calibrated demon would see it. In the third maxim, what's "normal" is the universe humanity perceives — though this still doesn't identify normality with what's believed or expected. Actually, it will take some philosophical work to articulate just what Egan's "normality" should amount to. I'll start with Copernicanism and reductionism, and then I'll revisit that question.

Why is the windstorm significant in the development of the plot? What explanation does the guard give for its cause
statuscvo [17]

1. Why is the windstorm significant in the development of the plot?

The windstorm is significant in the development of the plot because it became the main reason why the sentries<em> (guards)</em> were blinded while they were digging up the rotting body of<em> "Polynices." </em>

2. What explanation does the guard give for its cause?

The guard explained that "Antigone" is the culprit behind the illegal burial of Polynices (<em>Antigone's brother).</em> After the windstorm passed, the guards saw Antigone and she also saw them. The guards said <em>she then cursed them</em> and started burying the body again.

Explanation:

Antigone is a character is <em>Greek mythology</em>. She is the daughter of Oedipus and <em>Jocasta/Euryganeia. </em>

Antigone only wanted his brother to have a<em> respectable burial</em>. Thus, when she was asked by<em> Creon</em> whether she knew<u><em> it was forbidden to mourn for his brother,</em></u><u><em> </em></u>Antigone immediately admitted and said that she believes in the superiority of the divine law over the human law.

In literature, a foil is a character who serves as a contrast to the protagonist or another important character. This contrast o
Svetllana [295]
To highlight a character's (usually the protagonist's) personality, the introduction of a foil is used. In Shakespeare's 'Hamlet', Laertes is Hamlet's foil. They were childhood friends but have completely opposite traits and behaviors: Hamlet is verbal, he ponders, and is driven by passionate inaction, Laertes is physical, blusters, and is driven by passionate action. 

In Act IV, scene V, we can see Laerts personality; he bursts and needs people to calm him down, whereas Hamlet would have stayed calm and think before acting.
