Answer:

These line in the given excerpt clearly reveal that Dee is a strong person. She recognizes her surroundings and knows what she wants and how. She was named after her aunt Dee who had passed away, but Dee did not want  that. She felt oppressed by her aunt and therefore did not want to be reminded of the grave ordeal.

Therefore she let her mother know of what she wanted to be called and voiced her opinions. The ambiguity and the irony of the situation is clearly visible in the above excerpt.

Answer:

Dee has changed her name to “Wangero.” She claims “Dee” is dead because she believes that the name ties her to the white oppressors of the African American community:

"I couldn't bear it any longer, being named after the people who oppress me."

On the other hand, her mother sees the same name as a part of her culture and heritage. It is a name that several women in her family had proudly held for generations, as she explains to her daughter:

"You know as well as me you was named after your aunt Dicie."

The mother believes naming her elder daughter after her sister is a way of staying connected to the family’s ancestors and helps her keep the family’s legacy alive. The irony is that Dee chooses to dissociate herself from her family because of their simple and unsophisticated lifestyle. She also tries to claim a superficial African heritage for herself by changing her name and dressing in African clothes and jewelry, without having a real understanding of that culture.

Is a fallacy considered a lie
mart [117]

Answer:

In philosophy and logic, the classical liar paradox or liar's paradox or antinomy of the liar is the statement of a liar that he or she is lying: for instance, declaring that "I am lying". If the liar is indeed lying, then the liar is telling the truth, which means the liar just lied.

Reread lines Lines 351-366: What do you learn about Parris through indirect characterization
Kitty [74]

Answer:

The indirect characterization of Reverende Parris in lines 351-366 reveals that he is nervous and hysterical.

Explanation:

"The Crucible" is a play written by Arthur Miller based on the true incidents of Salem witch trials, 1692.

The characterization of Reverend Parris in the play was also based on the true character with the same during Salem Witch trials. The author has picturized his character in the play as selfish and self-absorbed. He suffered from the feelings that someone wants to destroy him and take his position and he was also concerned so much about his reputation. That is why he builds up the story of what happened in the woods and used for his own defense.

<u>In lines 351-366, the indirect characterization of Reverend Parris reveals that he is nervous to face the crowd. The line in which he asks Putnam to leave him alone to pray for a while and Abigail's response to him, that he's been praying since midnight, reveals that he is nervous to face the crowd. He asks Putnam of what he will say to the crowd</u>.

Thus it shows that he is nervous and hysterical.
