Read the excerpt from "An Image of Africa: Racism in Conrad’s Heart of Darkness.”At first sight these instances might be mistake

n for unexpected acts of generosity from Conrad. In reality they constitute some of his best assaults. In the case of the cannibals the incomprehensible grunts that had thus far served them for speech suddenly proved inadequate for Conrad's purpose of letting the European glimpse the unspeakable craving in their hearts. Weighing the necessity for consistency in the portrayal of the dumb brutes against the sensational advantages of securing their conviction by clear, unambiguous evidence issuing out of their own mouths, Conrad chose the latter. As for the announcement of Mr. Kurtz's death by the "insolent black head in the doorway," what better or more appropriate finis could be written to the horror story of that wayward child of civilization who willfully had given his soul to the powers of darkness and "taken a high seat amongst the devils of the land" than the proclamation of his physical death by the forces he had joined? How does Achebe develop his CLAIM in this excerpt? 2 points He constructs a counterclaim to refute the challenge. He lists reasons that support his claim. He cites evidence from the text to support his claim. He states the claim of his argument at the end.

Effectus [21]

Answer:

A) Popular novels from the past often ask provocative questions that are important to consider today.

In this speech, President Reagan uses the ending of a popular novel of the '60s to help pose his question about whether history still has a place for America, her people and her ideals. He takes provocative questions written in an old novel and uses them to show important subjects that need to be addressed today.

B) Many Americans have given up and say that the nation is no longer great or a land of dreams.

In his speech Reagan states that many americans have lost their faith in their country and no longer believe that it is a place for dreams and greatness. Theis people say that americans must "cut our expectations, conserve and withdraw"

D) President Reagan believed that John Wayne would argue that he was not the last American hero, because there are many more.

After the passing of the iconic Hollywood actor, John "Duke" Wayne, the headlines on the newspapers called him the "Last American Hero". Reagan, being a close friend of the late actor, stated that Wayne would've hated being called that, since he knew there were still many other heroes in America.

I'm what way did romantic poetry differ from earlier forms
Reil [10]
I would Pick two. When poets show and explain the feeling of love Its mostly through words which speak from the strong emotions and experiences they had. Many types of love can be unexplainable through writing or seem kind of like a fairy tale. But each romantic poem differs from one another because its poets personal Emotions they share with another human being. Love as individuals isn't the same but has human caught up in such a powerful Emotion yet something we see as love.
