Alice Walker published "Everyday Use" in 1973, in the early years of the Afrocentrism movement in America. This social movement examined the European cultural dominance over nonwhites and led to a renewed interest in and embrace of traditional African culture as a form of self-determination.

Explanation:

Dee's decision to take the name Wangero Leewanika Kemanjo, she explains to her mother, is because she "couldn't bear it any longer, being named after the people who oppress me." The shedding of European names in favor of African or African-sounding names became popular during the civil rights and black power periods in America that occurred around the time Walker published the story.

Dee/Wangero is actively pursuing her own cultural identity as a modern African American woman, and part of the process for her involves ridding herself of her birth name. Dee/Wangero's mother likes the colorful dress and jewelry she wears, and she offers to go along with her daughter's new name. When she denies Wangero...

Which period time would you live in and why
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer: The 80s. The 80s has some of the BEST music of all time in my opinion. I mean there was Michael Jackson, shall I say anymore? During that era there was not that much technology or social media and I think living like that would be so cool and just relaxing. The fashion was amazing, and everything vintage was so cool. You could hang out after after school at arcades and malls which just seems like a dream to me. Anyways I could go on forever but I'll just save you from that.

The war is inevitable—and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come!” is an example of:
WINSTONCH [101]
Answer: Anaphora

Explanation: The phrase “let it come” is used repeatedly throughout the text. It is not antithesis because the information in the text is not contradicting anything. It’s not epistrophe because it’s not only one word being repeated, but a phrase. It’s not allusion because it’s not referencing anything in the text.

Which statement is true about the events depicted in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar?
ankoles [38]
C. The events actually took place over the course of several years, not over a short time as Shakespeare suggests.

Shakespeare's play "Julius Caesar" is heavily based on Plutarch's "Lives of Noble Grecians and Romans." In "Lives of Noble Grecians and Romans", Plutarch shows that the events took place over the course of some years, but that sort of format would have been impossible for a 3 hour play. So Shakespeare had to change it to be over a short period of time.
