Margaret [11]3 years ago
6 0
Epic poems were memorized and then presented to an audience orally. This was required since the vast majority of people during that time period were illiterate. It is theorized that the repetitive structure and recurring syllables present in the epics, were used by storytellers to aid in memorization.

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

"Read the following excerpt from "Madam and the Rent Man" by Langston Hughes.

He said, Madam,

I ain't pleased!

I said, Neither am I.

So we agrees!

The poet chooses to use slang in this stanza because it

A.reflects the way people really spoke, which makes the poem more realistic.  B.avoids using informal language, which is not appropriate for poems.  C.provides a standard rhyme within the stanza, which makes the poem easier to understand.  D.shows a bond between Madam and the rent man that suggests they will resolve their differences.

Answer:

A. reflects the way people really spoke, which makes the poem more realistic.

Explanation:

When the poet decided to use slang in the poem, he wanted to establish a language closer to the readers, so he decided to write in a more informal tone and using common words from the daily lives of people.

This, in addition to bringing the text closer to the reader, allows the reader to read something in a more familiar and realistic language, increasing their understanding of the work.
