In at least one hundred words, explain the significance of repetition in Bob Dylan’s “The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll.”

English

creativ13 [48]2 years ago

In this song, Dylan repeats the lines "Take the rag away from your face / Now ain't the time for your tears."

He uses these lines throughout the song in order to tell the listener that *this* isn't what they should be upset about. Don't get upset that this woman was murdered. Don't get upset that she was only a maid. Now isn't the time to get upset about these things.

By the end of the song, however, this line changes. It now becomes "Bury the rag deep in your face/ For now's the time for your tears." Dylan says that now is the time to cry because justice was not served. Zanzinger only got six months for the murder of an innocent woman.

Therefore, the repetition of these lines allows Dylan to indicate the true tragedy of this story.

Answer:

Chicago en los siglos XX y XXI

Michigan Boulevard. Principios de siglo XX

La aprobación de la Decimoctava Enmienda a la Constitución de los Estados Unidos ilegalizó la producción y venta de bebidas alcohólicas. Dio lugar al período de la ley seca, entre 1919 y 1933, durante el cual prosperaron los gángsters en la ciudad. Destacan Al Capone, Dion O'Banion, Bugs Moran y Tony Accardo.9​ En 1929, Chicago fue el escenario de la matanza de San Valentín, cuando Al Capone envió a sus hombres a asesinar a miembros de la banda rival de Bugs Moran.10​

Con el fin de celebrar el centenario de la ciudad, en 1933 y 1934 se organizó una Feria mundial conocida como “Un Siglo de Progreso”, culminando unos esfuerzos iniciados en enero de 1928. La exposición se ideó como un testimonio de los logros científicos e industriales del siglo transcurrido desde la fundación de la ciudad. El recinto de la feria, de 112 hectáreas, se ubicó a la orilla del lago Míchigan, al sur de Navy Pier (Muelle de la Armada), y contaba con dos lagunas artificiales.

La feria se inauguró el 27 de mayo de 1933, con el encendido de las luces mediante los rayos de la estrella Arturo. Los rayos se captaron con células fotoeléctricas en distintos observatorios astronómicos y luego se transformaron en energía eléctrica que se transmitió a Chicago. La feria fue un éxito sin precedentes y se prolongó hasta 1934, tiempo durante el que recibió más de 48 millones de visitantes.

Como muchas otras ciudades de los Estados Unidos, Chicago está confrontada a la quiebra de su sistema de jubilaciones.11​

El área de Chicago fue una de las ciudades más duramente afectadas por la Ola de frío en América del Norte, haciendo bajar las temperaturas hasta -23°F (-30°C) con sensación térmica que llegó hasta los -52°F (-46°C

Which sentence correctly uses the colon?
laila [671]
The answer that correctly uses the colon is the last sentence. Normally a colon is meant to be used when it is showing a list of options, but the first and second sentence only have one sentence after that. A colon also can show reasons why a person does something, but for the third option, there's only one reason. In the last statement, the colon is used to break up the statement. It also shows that Harry has something in account for what he wants in his life. So, your answer option should be "D" 

Hope this helps!
