According to "The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain," one powerful way that the standard of whiteness affects African America
ahrayia [7]

According to <em>"The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain"</em>, one powerful way that the standard of whiteness affects African Americans is through the unconscious.

In the poem, the author states this idea very well at the beginnig of the poem when he says: <em>"...I want to be a poet, not a Negro poet..." </em>One can interpret that the poet has a conscious desire to be white or an unconscious desire not to be black.

The use of whiteness as a standard of beauty and wellness is another powerful way to impact African Americans.

<em>Langston Hughes</em> wrote "The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain" in 1926.

In the poem, Hughes wrote about the lives of Black People in Balck neighbourhoods in the United States.

Igoryamba
The correct answer is "the downfall of the protagonist"

This is the whole purpose of plays, according to Aristotle. The protagonists in tragedies are usually people better than us who die for a great cause, and their death awakens both positive and negative emotions in us. This is called catharsis.

Vonnegut uses satire to expose which societal folly?
alexandr1967 [171]
<span>One needs to look now farther than the first paragraph to realize that Vonnegut's tale is laced with irony and satire.  The strongest hint is when he mentions that there are over 100 ammendments in the Constitution.  All these ammendments are designed to make society "perfect."  Later on George and his wife Hazel are discussing how George's handicaps, the bags of birdshot tied to his legs, are terribly inconvenient and painful.  Hazel suggests George break a law and remove the bags since he isn't competing against anyone at home.  George replies that if he broke the law so would others and they'd end up right back in the "Dark Ages".  These examples depict there is no such thing as a perfect society.  Equality (in looks, strength, intelligence, etc.) does not bring about perfection and competition is essential for a thriving economy.  In every society there are winners and losers.  There is no way around that.</span>

timofeeve [1]

Hello. You did not show the sentence that this question refers to, which means that I cannot give you a very specific answer. However, knowing what basketball games are like, we can project that a phrase from a poem that uses Sprung rhythm to expose the way basketball players play, would show a fast, frantic, direct and very incisive rhythm, promoting certain ideas, clear and very well established. Just as a player must be on the court.
