Which excerpt from the song, “Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?” best emphasizes the idea that average Americans felt abandoned by

the wealthy elite and the government? They used to tell me I was building a dream, And so I followed the mob— When there was earth to plow, or guns to bear I was always there—right on the job. Once I built a railroad, made it run, Made it race against time. Once I built a railroad, Now it's done— Say, don't you remember, they called me Al— It was Al all the time. Why don't you remember, I'm your pal— Buddy, can you spare a dime? Once I built a tower, up to the sun, Brick, and rivet, and lime, Once I built a tower, Now it's done—

This excerpt best emphasizes the way that Americans felt abandoned by the wealthy elite and government: "<span>Say, don't you remember, they called me Al— It was Al all the time. Why don't you remember, I'm your pal— Buddy, can you spare a dime?"

Forgetting someone from the past is completely forgetting what has been. The excerpt uses the metaphor of having a friend from the past that a person forgot already because the person has seen better opportunities or is higher up in the rank. Much the same as how the elite and the government treat those people who are part of the masses. </span>

Answer:

Please read the explanation/ discussion below:

Explanation:

The woman suffrage movement began in 1848, when a women’s rights convention was held in Seneca Falls, New York. For the next 50 years, woman suffrage supporters worked to educate the public about the validity of woman suffrage. And in 1920, due to the collaborated efforts of National Women’s Party (NWP) and National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA), the 19th Amendment was ratified. It was the single largest extension of democratic voting rights in our nation’s history, and it was achieved peacefully, through democratic processes.

Susan B. Anthony, an American social reformer and human rights activist who played a pivotal role in the women's suffrage movement said, “We ask justice, we ask equality, we ask all the civil and political rights that belong to citizens of the United States, be guaranteed to us and our daughters forever.” Women, across the globe has fought for the fundamental rights that include the right to live free from slavery, violence, and discrimination; to be educated; to vote; to own property and to earn a fair and equal wage. Unfortunately, what is termed as Women Right is basically nothing more than what every individual human being is entitles for.  

The same was proposed in the Equal Rights Amendment that stated, “Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged be the United States or by any State on account of sex”.

Match the definition to the word. 1. the "feeling" or emotional aura that pervades a story or a poem crisis 2. a critical moment
poizon [28]

1. the "feeling" or emotional aura that pervades a story or a poem - atmosphere

The atmosphere is the air you breathe, the invisible stuff that surrounds. An atmosphere of a story or poem helps to communicate the theme or author's attitude towards the subject.

2. a critical moment in a story at which the protagonist is forced to take decisive action - Crisis

Critical = crisis. They are from the root word crit which means to separate or choose. During a crisis, the protagonist is forced to make a difficult choice. This usually results in some type of internal conflict for the protagonist, creates a learning experience which makes the character dynamic, and often is the climax of the story.

3. the time and place in which the story occurs - setting

The setting is where the story is set. Time and place. Sometimes it helps to think of a movie set. On a movie set, the director is creating the specific place and time in which the story takes place.
