Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
Read this excerpt from james baldwin's "notes of a native son":the day of my father's funeral had also been my nineteenth birthday. as we drove him to the graveyard, the spoils of injustice, anarchy, discontent, and hatred were all around us. it seemed to me that god himself had devised, to mark my father's end, the most sustained and brutally dissonant of codas. and it seemed to me, too, that the violence which rose all about us as my father left the world had been devised as a corrective for the pride of his eldest son.which sentence best explains how the structure of the excerpt supports the author's purpose?
a.it ties baldwin's father's funeral to his birthday and shows that the author is angry that his father died on that day. b.it compares a term signifying the end of a musical piece with his father's death to illustrate the finality of death. c.it contrasts the somber mood of a funeral procession with the happy memories baldwin has about his father. d.it interweaves elements of narrative and commentary to convey the message that hatred is destructive.
Answer:
d. it interweaves elements of narrative and commentary to convey the message that hatred is destructive.
Explanation:
The text above was taken from the autobiography of a black author, who wanted to show the violence, intolerance and injustices that racism caused in a society. He presents these themes well in the excerpt shown above, where the structure allows the author to interweave elements of narrative and commentary to convey the message that hate is destructive and how it shook his family and transformed a moment of celebration into a moment of mourning.
The answer is D. Mitty would rather dream than attend to errands. He's not literally shooting a pistol, so B and C are not the answer. A. can't really be proved with this passage, also he specifies what biscuit he wants.
C. I actually read that for a Literature class I took this past semester in college. :) It was a great book, by the way.
Shark : fish :: koala : bear
At least I think it is because a shark is a fish so I guess a koala is to bear.
I hope I helped :)
