Why do Ellison name the black man who sleeps with his daughter Trueblood

English
1 answer:
Varvara68 [4.7K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

His blood is no longer "true" because it has been contaminated by a grave sin-he slept with his own kin! Thus, his name could also mean he speaks the truth. Ellison might be using the name as a technique (besides empathy) to give Trueblood's story credence.

Example:

Today is the day I'm going to the bake sale for school. I jumped out of bed and got dressed quicker then a jack rabbit. As I walked downstairs I could already smell fresh chocolate chip cookies that Mom has been making for the bake sale. "Good morning!" I yelled with exitement. "Good morning sweetie." she replied. I looked over her shoulder at the gewy, warm brownies. I wanted to grab one, mom interupted "No, these are for later and there not quite done yet." So she put the brownies back into the oven and started to clean a little. Hours passed and the brownies where done or so I thought...

Mom grabbed her purse and the brownies and got into the car so I followed. Once we where at the bake sell you could smell so many various aroma's such as pumpkin pie, sweet apple cobbler, and much more. When we got to our table Mom put the brownies on the table, and people started to gather around. Mom quickly took off the lid, and then I saw the brownies amass. "Oh no!" I said in a quite tone. Mom looked at me and said "Sorry, I guess it's still not finished. It was warm and perfect before we left."

Then I quickly started to convey, I looked at everyone's sweets and they where perfect. Everyone enjoyed theres, why did this happen to me? This isn't fair! I when't to the Principal which she was the one who started the bake sell. I said in a sad tone "Can you please end the bake sale?" she repied "Why?" I tolder her "Well my brownies are undercooked, and can't be eaten." For a few minutes I tried to mediate the principal, but it didn't work. Suddenly Mom ran up to me with a new box of brownies. I shouted "You got more brownies?" Mom replied "Yes, I did!" We whent back to the table and placed the brownies down, and a bunch of people amass around our table buying a brownie. I quickly reverted from a sad mood to a happy mood.

Remember you may give up, but anything can happen so just wait. Things happen for a pretty good reason.



I hope this help's you understand or even get a good idea.

-Write a concise and objective summary of “from Song of Myself” by Walt Whitman.
Georgia [21]

The summary of Song of Myself is given as follows:

"There are three major themes:

  • the concept of the self,
  • the connection of the self with other selves, and
  • the poet's interaction with natural and cosmic factors.

Houses and apartments reflect civilization; scents represent individual personalities; and the environment represents the collective self.

The self is viewed of as a spiritual being that stays relatively stable in and through the ever-changing flood of ideas and experiences that comprise its conscious life.

Ideas, experiences, psychological emotions, and spiritual discoveries all contribute to the self.

The concept of self is the most significant aspect of Whitman's mind and art

<h3>What is a summary?</h3>

A summary is a record in the words of the reader that presents the key points of a piece of writing such as a newspaper article, a chapter of a book, or even the entire book.
