8 0

In the Tropics of New York by Claude McKay, the fruits in the first stanza were described carefully in order to show a vivid and almost real sensory experience of the picture the poet had in mind. It also gives an impression of the longing of the speaker of such tropical fruits as he was riding in the cargo ship as depicted in the poem – as judged with the meticulous choice of words.

In "Thank You, M'am" what similarly between roger and Mrs.Jones does mention?
evablogger [386]

Answer:

Both Roger and Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones are African Americans, who share similar backgrounds and come from poor homes. Through Roger's comments, one can surmise that he comes from a broken, poverty-stricken home, where he is forced to provide and take care of himself, which explains why he is dirty, hungry, and desperate for money. After Mrs. Jones drags Roger back to her home and makes him a warm plate of food, she explains to Roger that she understands what it feels like to want something that she cannot afford. Mrs. Jones then admits that she too made poor decisions in her youth and committed crimes that she is not proud of, which is another similarity that she shares with Roger. However, she does make it a point to say that she never snatch anybody's pocketbook before. Mrs. Jones's shared race and socioeconomic background allow her to sympathize and bond with Roger, who respects and appreciates her kindness and benevolence.

Yes and no, a scale can help by telling if you are losing or gaining weight but the downside is that it can also discourage you. It can make you feel like you are not making any progress at all or it can make you feel like you have gained weight.

Read the excerpt from President Reagan’s Address at Moscow State University. Some people, even in my own country, look at the ri
sweet [91]

Answer:

Option C:- raise an objection to his own opinion and counter that argument

Explanation:

On May 31, 1988 President Ronald Reagan addressed the students and faculty at Moscow State University (MSU). Although previous presidents desired such an opportunity, no other U.S. president except Richard M. Nixon had stood east of the Berlin Wall and spoken directly to the citizens of the Soviet Union. That Reagan would have such an opportunity was highly unlikely. Reagan appeared to be an implacable foe of the Soviet Union, previously calling it an "evil empire," describing it as "the focus of evil in the modern world," and accusing the Soviet "regime" of being "barbaric."

Thus, Reagan equated freedom with progress. Specifically, his thesis argued that human rights equal individual freedom; freedom equals individual creativity; individual creativity equals technological progress. The essence of the argument in Reagan's MSU address can be summarized as follows:

There is a revolution taking place. It is spreading around the globe.
